Our time there was the off season, but still had other guests, often you wouldn't know they were there. The area is well set out with plenty of toilets dotted through out the area. There are so many sites to choose from catering for individual tents, campers or caravans, to areas for large groups. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. Can't recommend it enough.

From the owner: Our campground focuses on the simple things. If we get these right our guests have a great break…read moreand come back time and time again. We have an enforced noise policy, we clean our ammenities to a standard where not only are we happy but we'd use them ourselves. We only book small numbers - this means we book out quickly sometimes but we believe it makes the experience more enjoyable for our campers.

The recent upgrading of this park makes it one of the best equipped of all the parks along the…read moreWynnum, Manly and Lota foreshore. It's right at the end of the Esplanade, so has a great view over the bay to Straddie and also around to Wellington Point. It has a huge new playground, with shadesails, slides, forts and timber walkways. It also has very nice new picnic tables and barbecues, accessible toilets, shared walkway/bikeway and a seperate area with fitness equipment for anyone keen to do some circuit training. Oh, and obviously these days you can't camp at all; this name is an historical reference to its turn of the century popularity as a holiday camping spot by the bay.

My dad and I like to explore little places in Australia on our weekends off. Of course, being the…read moreghost adventurers we are, I looked up "haunted hotels in Brisbane" on google when we were looking for our next experience. The Royal (James) hotel was the first one to pop up. The trip out to Harrisville is beautiful, surrounded by Australian mountains and farming lands as you travel through cute little towns. It's not hard to find the RH at all and it's the first thing you'll see as you're coming on to queen street. I was immediately in awe of the property, it's been kept in wonderful condition and sits on a huge piece of land. It's so awesome that there is free camping for patrons, great idea for anyone traveling long distance, or if you've had one too many XXXX bitters. The woman behind the bar was beyond friendly, which came as a surprise to me because so far my experience with small town pubs in Australia has been below expectations. The menu isn't just "pub food" as you may expect and they have glasses of wine for under $6! (Alcohol in Australia is pricey so this is good). Back to the menu, you can order pasta, pizza, fish n chips, steak, salads...etc. The lunch specials were: fish n chips for $12 Steak and chips for $12 Or a burger and chips for $12 (hey america, they call fries chips here:D) The menu states that if you have any food allergies at all, the staff would be happy to accommodate, cool! My dad and I ordered salt and pepper calamari to start, and both got fish n chips. Everything was good, especially the calamari, the fish was ok but nothing too special. Service was really so great, the lady I mentioned earlier was happy to tell us a little history about the place too. If you're ever in Brisbane and are looking for a casual, historical, and peaceful day, come here! The sky surrounding it is worth the trip itself. I'm definitely going to try and come here for a camping weekend, and maybe get spooked by some of the supposed ghosts that hang around here.

What a great park!! Previously the Milton Tennis Centre and Milton Bowl this location had been an…read morearea of wasted space that did flood during the floods in 2011. I am so glad this was turned into an amazing park and not another set of apartment buildings. The park is home to the Roy Emerson Tennis Centre which has 6 courts for hire and also has lessons. The playground area is packed on the weekends as it's an a amazing area for kids. While its way more advanced then for my 10month old there is still some great places for him to crawl around but I can see that the amazing rock climbing wall, huge slide and the curling slide would be heaven for any kid. There are 4 different bbq areas with 8 total BBQ that have picnic tables around them. There is decent shade for these areas but also a large grass are perfect for a picnic if you don't want to BBQ. Kids love circling the grass area on there bikes and scooters and it's all within the parents eyesight. There is also a table tennis table and some exercise equipment. Early mornings you may even have a boot camp or personal trainer working out there. Only wish there was a water feature for kids to play in but I guess with the past flooding that may have not have worked. Oh and there are toilets onsite and a cafe which I need to still check out.
