Our five acre property on the edge of the Great Dividing Range escarpment is just 10-15 minutes from the Toowoomba CBD.

Your camp spot is a flat, grassy field with fantastic views and privately located on the block next to but away from the main house. Access is just off the road and down a slight grassy slope - suitable for 4WDs and most off road caravans or camper trailers.

We stayed at the Ridge site and the view was amazing with far reaching views and at night plenty of stars! The elevated site had a nice breeze keeping us cool during the day and comfortable by the fire at night. At the lower sites there is a nice water way to explore.

Had a lovely stay - being greeted by Ralph the dog was a lovely welcome, Tony was a great host and super accomodating, even came down to check everything was going alright after the first night. Long drops were the flashiest we’d ever seen! 😂 10/10 would recommend to anyone for a quiet and relaxing get away.

3 nights at McKenzie Creek Campsite

We loved our stay at Mckenzie creek. So private, clean and yet close to Daybrough town for lunch. I felt safe camping there with our 13 month old who loved playing around the campsite. The hot shower and toilet all to ourselves felt like 7 star camping 🏕

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.

Weekend Trip to Rangetop Farm

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.

Weekend Trip to Rangetop Farm

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!
