We have several peaceful campsites available on our off grid property near Crows Nest. Also a private glamping site with a 5m Bell Tent - with everything you need for a relaxing night away.
We are 10km north of the town of Crows Nest on the Great Dividing Range. 50 minutes from Toowoomba and 2 hours from Brisbane.
The hill on the property (Flat Top) is one of the highest points in the area at 700m altitude.
From the hilltop, you can enjoy 360-degree views of the surrounding area, with views across the Esk Valley towards the Sunshine Coast and sunsets over the hills surrounding Crows Nest.
There are 3 separate campsites on the hilltop, and another site further down the hill alongside the main driveway.
It is very quiet and peaceful, yet only a 10-minute drive to Crows Nest.
Enjoy the spring fed dam in the warmer months. 🏊♂️
There is plenty to explore in the area, including:
🏞 Crows Nest Falls National Park (good for a swim)
🐃 Bullocky's Rest and creekside walk in Crows Nest (dog friendly)
☕️ Lovely cafes in Crows Nest (eg. Lily's Artisan and My Little Blueberry), as well as boutique stores (Nolan's Block is very popular, on the highway).
🛍 An amazing Arts and Crafts store, with local hand made gifts (open every day)
📚 A quirky second-hand book store
🌳 Ravensbourne National Park (rainforest)
🏚 Crows Nest Museum
🎣 Cressbrook and Perseverance Dams
🚂 Muntapa Railway Tunnel towards Cooyar
👩🌾 Also markets in Crows Nest on the first Sunday of each month.
Further along the New England Highway, Toowoomba is host to the annual Carnival of Flowers in Spring.
We hope we can help you have a pleasant and peaceful camping trip!
We kindly ask that you familiarise yourself with our property rules, this is not a place for loud music and rowdiness!
Please note: We have a long gravel driveway and dirt/grass tracks to the campsites. 2WD accessible, but it's rough.
Pet friendly 🐕
Campers visiting this site consistently rave about the breathtaking views and the tranquility of the location. The hosts are noted for being friendly and accommodating, with many guests appreciating the clean facilities and the added touch of fresh eggs available. While the site is described as peaceful and private, several reviews mention the potential for strong winds due to the site's elevation. Overall, this campsite is ideal for those looking to unwind amidst stunning natural scenery.
We spent four days here and throughly enjoyed every minute! The views were spectacular and the sunsets were amazing, it was definitely worth the trip to get here. The site was very well presented and plenty of room for our 15ft caravan, it was lovely to meet Chip the Shetland pony, Ollie the dog and of course the hosts Leacia and Phill who were very obliging, friendly and welcoming ! A lovely part of the world THANK YOU for a wonderful stay 10/10 😊
Lorikeet’s is the newest site at Hilltop and it was my first time to camp there but went really well. It’s not as high on the hill as the other sites but still has a lovely view overlooking the valley and it was more easily accessible from the main driveway. I found the site secluded enough and it’s well away from the other campers. It feels so remote and can usually get perfect starry night sky views here but only takes 10-15 mins to get to Crows Nest town centre.
Gorgeous location and very secluded. We loved our stay here. Amazing views and sunsets and quiet. Sites are kept separate so it feels like you are the only ones on the property. Farm fresh eggs were delicious and a short drive to super cute town of Crows Nest. Would definitely recommend.
We had an great time camping at Eagle’s Nest! If you’re looking for a peaceful spot with stunning views, this place is perfect. The scenery is beautiful, especially at sunrise and sunset, and the whole vibe is super relaxing.
The friendly farm animals wander around and make the place feel even more special. It’s a great spot to just chill, enjoy nature, and escape from the busyness of everyday life.
Overall, we had a really good experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves quiet, scenic camping with a little extra charm!
