Choose from ONLY TWO campsites on eighty plus acres rural property 'Coobindah'. All campsites are well separated and not visible from each other. To enhance privacy, we take only one booking / group per campsite, therefore you're likely to have the property to yourselves.

Picturesque Highfields village is only an 8 minute drive for town conveniences, coffee shops, gift shops, cafes, restaurants, the Chocolate Cottage, the Tavern, the new Monty Brewery (pet friendly), and Highfields Falls. We're only 10 minutes to the local winery Rosalie House, the New England Highway, and 11 minutes to the popular Cabarlah markets. The 'Garden City' of Toowoomba is just a 20 minute drive, and has much to offer, including the very popular Carnival of Flowers, held in September each year.

**Closed for Off Season from 11 November 2024 to end of February 2025.** Seeking your own private escape to the country? You're welcome to experience our beautiful farmstay 'Coobindah', and enjoy your own EXCLUSIVE campsite, without the crowds! Choose from ONLY TWO campsites on eighty plus acres rural property 'Coobindah'. All campsites are well separated and not visible from each other. To enhance privacy, we take only one booking / group per campsite, therefore you're likely to have the property to yourselves.

Relax under the shade of the trees, warm yourself by the campfire, or go walking or mountain biking on our farm.

Kangaroos, wallabies and wildlife are often seen on the property, and there's currently no livestock in the paddocks. Pet friendly, family friendly, a quiet retreat for couples / singles, or group bookings available. Old Peppertree campsite is an elevated campsite that has all weather access and is suitable for 2wd and 4wd vehicles, vans, caravans, motorhomes, camper trailers and tents. Bush Camp campsite is further down the back of the property, nearer the bush, down a hill, and is suitable for 4wd / SUV and off-road / higher clearance vehicles, vans, caravans and motorhomes, camper trailers and tents. However access is fairly easy and this is only a recommendation. Both Old Peppertree and Bush Camp campsites are spacious and there's plenty of room to setup and park. 'Coobindah' is just under 2 hours from Brisbane and is located on the Great Dividing Range. It boasts crisp mountain air and glorious views from the hills.

The renowned Meringandan Pub is only 5 minutes away to satisfy your appetite. Picturesque Highfields village is only an 8 minute drive for town conveniences, coffee shops, gift shops, cafes, restaurants, the Chocolate Cottage, the Tavern, the new Monty Brewery (pet friendly), and Highfields Falls. We're only 10 minutes to the local winery Rosalie House, the New England Highway, and 11 minutes to the popular Cabarlah markets. The 'Garden City' of Toowoomba is just a 20 minute drive, and has much to offer, including the very popular Carnival of Flowers, held in September each year. The Oakey Army Air Museum is only 20 minutes away. Ravensbourne National Park, Crows Nest Falls, Bunnyconnellen Olive Grove and Events, and the fabulous eateries and shops of Crows Nest are only a half hour drive.
