Had an amazing stay, peaceful and private with the whole site to yourself. The facilities were clean and well thought out. Debbie was absolutely lovely, meeting us on arrival and showing us to and around the campsite. Such a beautiful space to spend some relaxing days at. Conveniently close to town if you need anything. Plus with the bike trail so close, bring your bikes for some adventurous fun.

Another fabulous relaxing time at rangetop farm. Between the beautiful roaming horses some more inquisitive then others there are green rolling hills that lead you out to the magnificent view through the glasshouse mountains to the ocean. Only a short drive from brisbane but I feel like I have really been away and am able to recharge the batteries.

Kids and I enjoyed our stay, nice grassy area to set up our swags and the bush kitchen was a great spot to cook up dinner. Clean and cosy flushing toilet was great too. Would return again for sure.

Highly recommend this spot for a quick, easy and affordable bush getaway so close to Brisbane. It’s probably best suited to families, but we’d happily stay again.
There’s loads to keep kids (and adults) entertained — beach volleyball, a basketball hoop, swings, plus easy access to some MTB trails, the BVRT and the Brisbane River kayaking.
The toilets were a welcome touch of luxury — very clean with soap and hand towels provided. Sam was friendly and extremely responsive to messages, which made the stay even better. Worth noting that if the wind blows from the highway direction, a little traffic noise can be noticeable.

Really well set out campsite - a large covered area with a gravel floor and a table and chairs (a hammock fits beautifully between the posts), a big social firepit, and a separate cooking firepit (fabulous!), and don't get me started on that hot tub...

Always wanted to stay at Rangetop after visiting for horse riding, and it didn’t disappoint. Beautiful views and a very friendly, helpful host, Viola even drove us to our site to check it was suitable before we towed the van in. Plenty to do on the property including horse riding/ petting, swimming in the dam or exploring by foot, and close to Dayboro and national parks if you want to head out. Lots of spacing between sites, though some noise is possible if you're unlucky enough to get a rowdy neighbour.

What a beautiful property, thank you viola for sharing your land .
It was magical from the views to the horses coming for cuddles to the swim in the fresh water lake.
We will be coming back again.
Thank you penny, kyle, poppy & frankie
