The Highfields Pioneer Village covers an area of 20 acres of picturesque grounds with over 70 buildings of historic interest, pleasant surroundings and picnic facilities. It is located just 15kms north of Toowoomba. Our property is part of the Highfields Pioneer Village* complex located just 20 minutes from Toowoomba. This campsite is a wonderful place to rest whilst taking in the scenic surroundings of the village which is the home of the Big Cow.  Visit the Toowoomba Fire Brigade Museum which houses an historic collection of memorabilia, documenting the story of the people who have worked every day to keep us safe from fires since 1877. The collection includes Uniforms, Badges & patches, historical records & photographs and over 6 Historic Fire Engine Vehicles, Apparatus, Models & Collectibles. Visit the iconic Ambulance Museum that tells the story of Ambulance services in Queensland. We are within easy reach of Highland Falls which has some great walking tracks and view points of the falls. Pets are also permitted in this bushland area but must be on a leash. We are just 3 mins from local shops, McDonald's, KFC. This is the perfect spot for those who want to wind down and escape the hustle and bustle. We have amenities available and pets are welcome but must be kept on a leash at all times. Sorry, no campfires. Bush Camping. *Tickets to the Village are optional and can be purchased onsite from the Kiosk. Recommended time to view the Pioneer Village is at least 2 hours.

The animals are no worries
I love camping here. It's a very relaxing environment. Easy direct and easy access to the site. The animals only add characters to the paddock. Jody made me feel welcomed.

It's not a bad campsite, unfortunately the attached museum used the top half of the camping area as a dumping ground for various things like boats, trailers, wood, old machinery so it wasn't the most pleasant 1st impression but the hosts were friendly and the amenities clean

We really enjoyed our stay at Pioneer Village! The Village itself of Old Australiana is so quaint and very interesting to see. The damper is delicious! The volunteers were very friendly, kind and helpful! The animals living in and around the Village were a real treat to see! Our camp site was very good. We had the place to ourselves a few nights during the week and it was very quiet, which we loved. And when others were there over the long weekends, everyone was well behaved, and all the sites were dark and quiet by 8-9pm. We liked our spot, and appreciated that we were allowed a powered site due to our medical requirements as 2 of us use CPAP machines. Thank you for accommodating us! The cleaning of the toilets and shower needs to be amended so that they are given a thorough cleaning every single day! We could see that they were not being cleaned daily; in fact we saw the same "marks" in/on the toilet for over a week. This is not acceptable hygiene when multiple people, strangers, are using the same facilities. Improve on this, and it's a great spot to camp! Highly recommend!

Review price guide
Seemed a bit over priced for being a self sustainable caravan in the same site area as the tents but believe charge more, in addition to pay full price for the village pass on top seemed a bit overboard for what you get. Tried contacting Jody with no success but had outstanding customer service from Trevor who seemed like the only one to proper welcome and check in to see if we needed anything. Had a decent time but maybe just review pricing, overall our kids had a good experience with the animals and firefighters trucks especially the train ride.
