6500 acre working cattle property in the Southern Downs of Queensland. Beautiful campsites, abundant wildlife, crystal clear diamond night skies, with four distinct seasons. Only 2 hours from Brisbane, and 20 minutes from Warwick. Connolly Dam is about 5 km away and is great for swimming and you can kayak and swim and fish (permit required). Suitable for all types of vehicles, caravans, motorhomes, big rigs... etc. Dog friendly. Horse agistment available. Campers will need their own toilet and remove all rubbish. Contained campfires permitted when restrictions aren't in place, plenty of wood to gather your own (more than enough!) We will happily offer a discount on a confirmed booking for anyone under age 5, but they do need to be booked for insurance purposes. Please ask. We can offer multiple secluded sites. We will not put other campers near your site. Our bush sites are your own until you leave. You can hear the birds, kangaroo thumps, sometime koala growl, and distant cattle but no other people.

Plateau

We came for a couple days camp but subsequently reading about the land management of the stud had me even more intrigued and impressed. My only regret from a really enjoyable camp on the plateau was that I didn’t engage Nick for long enough to hear more about everything. Aside that, the place was just beautiful, Nick was a gracious host (we didn’t get to meet Liz this time) and we felt lucky and grateful to stay on the property. Thanks Liz and Nick.

Spring fed dam

So private and so quiet! Road in to campsites is suitable to off road campers as stated in their description. We love Spring Fed Dam at Risdon! Hosts Nick and Liz are lovely. Spring fed dam is a nice protected spot if storms are on the radar. Loved hearing the dingoes in the mornings too. Managed one swim in the dam on our four day stay. Water level a bit low so had to wade through some algae to get to the clear part. Just be careful if you have kids with you. There are some submerged sharp bits of logs around just under the surface. More suited to sensible adult floating on a blow up lounge. We will certainly be back yet again.

Horse Camp - Kangaroo corner

What a fantastic long weekend we had! The horses each had a lovely big paddock. We had a great camp site right next to them, with no one else in sight apart from the cows who came to visit us. It was so relaxing and peaceful, it was exactly what we needed! Thanks Liz and Nicholas!

Grass Tree Hideaway

Beautiful bush setting with stunning starry nights. A great place to unwind and reset from the busy lifestyle we live.
