Stanley House

100%

· Crossdale, Queensland

1800 acres hosted by Elise O.

3 Vehicle/Tent sites

With 1800 acres of working Beef and Hay country on Somerset Dam, Stanley House is sure to be on the bucket list of places to stay. Plenty of sites for camping from simple swag, tents to caravan and trailer, even enough space to bring your boat to launch in Somerset Dam from the spit. All sites are accessible by 2wd and come with optional portable toilets. Neatly mowed and maintained flat grass on all sites with a firepit to enjoy the warmth and comfort of home away from home. Farm sourced fire wood can be purchased as well as eggs year round and home grown produce available seasonally. Potable water available on request and when in high supply as we are on rain catchment. We have amazing waterfront views and kayaks available to access the dam for an afternoon of exploring. With a short hike along a cut grass path to our lookout over the dam, once there take the time to light the fire pit and watch the sun sink over the hills. Stanley House is a working family farm and not a 4WD park so we appreciate the respect for our land by keeping vehicles parked by your site and moved only to leave the property. Rubbish is to be removed by campers. Boat launching is prohibited from the property, however the spit is directly opposite the property and a short drive away. As we have an abundance of animals on the farm, we ask that you kindly leave yours at home. We look forward to sharing this special place with you and hope it is a place for many return camping trips.

Corner Hill

Great spot, and a lovely host

We loved camping at the Corner Hill site. Elise is such a welcoming host and a lovely person. She gave us a tour of the sites, went through the usual precautions given it is a working cattle property, and even called by the next day to drop off some local produce and Swiss bread, which were delicious! No campfires allowed at this site but it is elevated with panoramic views of the Somerset Dam and a short track down to your own private spot by the dam. My son loved racing his RC boat, I had an swim and we woke up to fog one morning. All in all a lovely stay and great value. Thank you, Elise!

Arch Hill

Rancho Relaxo

This is a fantastic camp spot. Stayed at the Arch Hill camp spot and it was perfect. A great vista looking over Somerset Dam. The other campsites are well away from you so can truly feel you are on your own. Generous site size as well and feels unique due to the cool fenced yard. Elise and her husband are absolutely brilliant hosts and truly make you feel welcome. Can’t wait to get back here.
