The Secret Spot
The Secret Spot
This was our third visit to Stonepine Ridge, and we will be back again. We have previously stayed at Rory's and Creekside, but chose the Secret Spot as we were late booking this time.
The Secret Spot is a bit more secluded, but not completely private. It's tucked behind the trees on the northern side, so is in shade most of the day. That shade may be more welcome in summer. When it rained, it dripped off the trees most of the night, but that did not worry us.
The Secret Spot is more protected from the wind than say the more exposed Creekside #4 and #5. This was good for us in Winter.
The site is quite sloped, so positioning our camper and friend's caravan took a bit of effort to get level. I'm not sure what you would do here in a tent ?
At the time be stayed, the closest toilet was at Creekside #4, so was a bit of a walk, but was fine.
Liz is always very friendly and willing to help

The Rocks
Great spot for camping within the Glen Aplin region, a secluded location with an easy drive into Stanthorpe. Only downside was that site could have been better maintained (knee high grass and lots of cow manure) which made it a bit tricky to find a suitable place to set up camp.

Long Paddock
Lovely property! Was nice to have views of the bush and the paddock. Weather wasn't the best but our site at the top of the long paddock gave a great vista of the changes in weather and the kids loved watching the fog and clouds descend into the valley as rain came in. Sites were good for vans or small tents but if you had a larger long tent you might struggle to find a flat spot. Great to have the pit toilet within a short walk. Elizabeth is a friendly and helpful host.

Bush Paddock
Loved staying at Elizabeth's gorgeous property. What a find! Beautiful walking tracks and views. Can't wait to come back - our dogs also loved running around!
Creek View
Beautiful property. Liz was very proactive with communicating and very helpful. Big sites with plenty of space between them. We stayed in the creek view sites and the only thing to be cautious of is that not all the sites are completely flat, worth reaching out to Liz when you book if you are in a tent like we were.

Rory's Lookout
Me and my pup really enjoyed our time. Imagine camping in the woods on the side of a mountain... that was our stay! When we arrived, it was a beautiful sunny day and overnight - we got hit by rain and wind. But it made for a gorgeous backdrop. We were lucky to have the campgrounds to ourselves the second night.
There are walking tracks throughout, a gorgeous view point at the top of Rorys lookout and a lovely creek at the beginning of the campgrounds accessible for everyone to enjoy. The long drops were very clean and even stocked TP!
Because of the weather (drizzly not rainy) the road was a bit slippery. I have a 4WD but not confident - i managed the track easily :) the property is so large and thankfully, the campsites are spread apart.
Liz was so lovely making sure to check on me during the stay! We will be coming back but will try the other campsites next time
