I have 8 sites at the moment each one is in a open bushland setting with lovely views, no site is within 100 meters of another and each one has a different view with lots of privacy, and all Dog and Kid friendly, shallow water, and deep water for swimming or kayaking , creeks, animals to feed and heaps of room to run and play. Adult friendly, huge sites for big groups and plenty of space, great swimming and lots of things to here and in the surrounding areas. Some sites are more suited to Caravans as the access is better and some are better suited to campers / 4WD but all can be accessed with a regular car. We have NO road frontage so sites are private, quiet and safe and only 3ks off the New England Highway. All campers MUST bring their own Chemical toilet and shower facilities. A small rest room and shower is available in case of emergency only I run a working farm raising Sheep and Lambs, Chickens, Ducks, Horses, Donkeys, Vegies, Preserves and Jams. Farm produce is available on request and availability, eg Free range eggs , farm raised Lamb, locally sourced Bacon for the BBQ , and seasonal vegetables, jams and chutneys. Thanks to the Beautiful rain we have had recently, our large dam is full, providing a wonderful spot for swimming, paddling or just splashing about, the Dam has long sloping access so is great for families and dogs, PLEASE NOTE The Google Maps photo is way out of date, our Dam is full. For those who may be into Waterskiing or Fishing Leslie Dam is a 10 min drive away and offers fishing and water sports then come back to your quiet camp away from the crowds. We are 20 min South of Warwick, We are only 30 min from the Stanthorpe Wineries, Breweries fresh fruit and Vege, Cheese factory to name a few things to do. A little further along you will find Girraween National Park renowned for amazing walks. Warwick Hosts the Biggest and Best Campdraft and Rodeo on the last full week of October (Covid permitting) as well as the quirky Jumpers and Jazz festival in July. Steam Train Journeys , half or full days, We have an amazing motor sport venue which holds meet every weekend, cars bikes, vintage, minis, Porsche's, you name it they race it every weekend. As well as many Equestrian Events, you can spend the day out exploring and then you can come back to your beautiful campsite, that is if you have not decided to stay relaxing and swimming for the day in the quiet watching the sheep and horses pass bye to then watch the Sunset and wildlife then look at the amazing night sky.

Top of the Hill
We loved camping at Cathy's property. The site was so well mown you could probably play bowls on it, and had awesome views of the dam and surrounding bushland. Sites are very far away from eachother which means the privacy and views are amazing. Absolutely worth the money to come stay here where you arent cramed in next to other campers. Heaps of animals to watch all day, and awesome views of the stars at night. We bought 2 nights worth of firewood from Cathy and couldn't even burn it all in 2 nights, so buy your firewood from here. The top of the hill site has a slight slope, but not enough to be worried about even in a tent. We will definitely be back, couldnt rate this place highly enough.

Thank you Cathy for having us for the long weekend... we loved the spot! So peaceful and private - even though a few others were camping, the sites are so spacious and far away from each other, you feel as though you are the only ones there. We loved all the farm animals!! It was so nice waking up to see sheep and cows grazing, and the single goat! Very picturesque - especially with the dam right there as well. We will definitely be back!

What an awesome spot right next to the dam! We loved waking up of a morning and seeing the cattle go into the dam, as well as visits from the sheep and donkeys. Very spacious and Cathy was a great host, leaving us to our own devices. We will definitely be back-thanks Cathy!
