If you like big open spaces with amazing views and your own personal space, this is the location. We have made this one of our regular locations to visit when we want to relax and chill. We absolutely love having the horses join our camp on a regular basis, really makes for some memorable moments.

A very well maintained property with an abundance of places to set up as close to or as faraway from other campers as you wanted The property is a working horse and cattle farm so was very nice to have livestock walking around and being able to interact with them if you wanted.

Absolutely spectacular views of the glass house mountains and Moreton bay. Lovely green pastures and horses and cows come and meet you each afternoon. Not close to others so nice and private. Ground is undulating to steep (as you’d expect on a ridge) so bring plenty of levelling blocks. We’ll definitely be back!

Clearly some of the reviews on here were given under the old management, we loved this place. Ticked all the boxes, quiet, had all of the necessities, friendly staff and easy access to the water. Would definitely recommend and we will be back.

Great experience at Edgewater. There's a shop that has most things you'd need and great camping spots with fire pits in each one. The damn is nice; not the best for swimming but good for above water activities.

The view was absolutely stunning. The horses were very friendly coming over for a pat. Make sure you read the recommendations on the hipcamp site on how to get there as we followed the GPS and ended up on a very steep hill climb with nowhere to turn around. Thanks to a quick chat with Viola and very good directions we made it and had a very enjoyable weekend.

Fantastic place to camp. Wide open spaces and no one is on-top of each other. Sensational views of the property and don’t be surprised if you get a visit from the horses and cows. There is a beautiful dam to swim in which was great also. Highly recommend and will be back.

Such a beautiful location with fantastic views! The horses just added that extra farm stay touch and made you feel like such a part of nature. We were unlucky enough to get caught in some big storms but the property was so well maintained it didnt affect us at all and no issues getting the caravan in and out. It was very windy though so don't make the same mistake we did by putting the awning out if the weather isn't 100%! Overall very private and relaxing location and only 10 minutes out from Dayborough. Will definitely be back.

Our campsite was perched on the top of the range with incredible views to the north & south. It was private and peaceful, the only sounds were from birdsong & the rustle of nature. We had a lovely swim in the dam which was clean & refreshing. We had a fantastic stay & look forward to returning. Thanks Viola!
