Dam Side Serenity

Long weekend.

Had a great weekend and in a lovely spot. we camped right next to the Dam having the water views when we wake in the morning. If you forget anything the shops are not far depending on the way you need to go. My shower broke and had to do a run into Toowoomba and took 50 minutes. My dog also loved it as she has never seen cattle before and she was amazing. A long weekend at this site was really good and will visit again.

Dam Side Serenity

Camping by the dam.

We had the camp to ourselves. It's a great spot to relax for the night overlooking the dam and the rolling hills. Easy to understand instructions for arrival, well maintained campsite with a great firepit. We visited the Tunnel afterwards which is a short drive away.

Dam Side Serenity

Dam, animals and a railway tunnel.

Nice flat area down near the dam. A few cows, horses, birds and a great dog to provide company. Hosts were great and very friendly. Fire pits in place and firewood available for purchase. The old railway tunnel literally up the road is an interesting piece of history.

Was a great stay on this lovely farm next to the dam, had the place all to ourselves apart from the owners adorable dog who kept us company and got plenty of pats. Super friendly owners and a great spot for a quiet getaway without being crowded by other campers.
