Two weeks after a 40-year-old New Zealand father of two died following a fall at an unlicensed rave held on its grounds, Hidden Camp – an off-grid farmstay and camping venue nestled in bushland between Queensland’s Maryborough and Gympie – has announced an immediate temporary shutdown that will last at least several months. The venue’s owners confirmed the decision in a public statement posted to Facebook on Friday, noting that the closure is tied to ongoing planning and development approval processes that have come to the forefront following the fatal incident. All existing and future bookings will be fully canceled and refunded to guests via the camping booking platform HipCamp, per the announcement. For the family that runs Hidden Camp, the shutdown is far more than a business interruption: the property is not only their commercial operation but their family home and primary livelihood, the statement explained. “It is our home, our livelihood, and something we’ve poured our hearts, savings and countless hours into,” the statement read. “Unfortunately, this means Hidden Camp could remain closed for several months while this process runs its course. We know this is incredibly disappointing for everyone who had plans to visit, and it is devastating for our family.” The sudden closure comes in the wake of a tragic accident that shocked the local Glenwood community two weeks prior. During the unauthorised “Rhythm of the Wild” secret rave held on the property, Trenton Ehrhorn, a 40-year-old New Zealand national and father of two, fell from the event stage and suffered fatal injuries. Immediately after the incident, the venue’s owners released an initial statement expressing profound sorrow over the loss of life, extending condolences to Ehrhorn’s family and friends, and acknowledging the negative impact of the tragedy on nearby residents and the wider Glenwood community. Following the accident, Queensland Police took a 33-year-old man from Burpengary into custody for questioning. As of earlier this week, however, law enforcement officials confirmed no charges have been filed against any person connected to the incident, and the official investigation remains active and ongoing. The venue owners said they look forward to reopening Hidden Camp once all required planning and development processes are finalized, though no specific timeline for a potential reopening has been set.
