Beautiful spot, great views and friendly animals. Has the horses and donkey come say hi, then went about their business. Open area which made for a nice cross breeze, though an awning was helpful in the QLD summer heat. Suzie was a fantastic host, easy to communicate with and very informative.
Highly recommended place to pull up.

Suzie's place was great. Very clear instructions and easy to get to. Suzie and the family came to say hello and were great for a chat. We had a visit from Jesus the very friendly donkey and spotted a betong right next to our van once the sun set.
This would be a cracking spot on a clear night with a campfire burning.

This is a great spot! We stopped here with our three kids on the way south to Cavarvon Gorge. Suzie was a fantastic host, even taking the time out of her day to show our kids the animals around her property, amazing sunset views from the tidy and level camp site.
Very conveniently located for someone passing through heading North or South on the highway.
Well stocked with firewood if you wanted a fire, would recommend this spot.

Great spot to camp away from the crowds of large campgrounds. Suzie dropped by to welcome us and check we had everything we needed. Highly recommend if you’re in the Springsure area🙂

I’m so grateful that hosts like Suzie open up their property and share with us.
Communication was great, we meet Suzies daughter and son and spoke about everything and nothing.
I love the Country hospitality.

Rocky Ridge was a great base from which to explore the Springsure region, particularly Minerva Hills. We spent three very comfortable nights there. It was breezy in the evenings, so we didn't use the campfire. Instead, we moved the Oz pig away from any grass and had a nice warm fire in it. Plenty of wood provided. Very pleasant.
And the donkey enjoys having its head scratched.

Rocky ridge was a great place to stop for the night as we passed through. Owners very friendly, kids got a ride in the buggy around the property, peaceful, firewood for the fire and a new shower just installed. And beautiful views with sunset and sunrises! Definitely worth the stop!!

Great location and easy to find. Suzie and family were really friendly and helpful and had great knowledge of the area. The fire place was well stocked with wood that made a ripping fire. The shower was warm and easy to use. Will gladly come back here if we are heading through again. We had a camper and 4wd, getting to site in the rain was a bit slippery. Byo gumboots if it's raining the mud was thick!

If you are looking for 360° scenic views with an unbelievable sunset sitting on a chair watching it go over the mountain then this is the place for you. Very quiet very peaceful road is about a kilometer away, but you cannot hear it that much. Power and showers, firewood and a beautiful place very quiet.

Lovely country camp, we were the solo campers on a hill in the peace and quiet, just how we like it. The horses and donkey are super friendly, and so are the people.

A 4WD vehicle is required to reach the beautiful lookouts of this park. The short walk to one of the lookouts is well worth it too.
