What a great spot to camp!
The dam was awesome for swimming.
Top toilet facilities, very clean, follow dunny instructions regarding what NOT to flush.
Ordered firewood when booking, was there waiting for us. Plenty of bird life morning and evening to enjoy. Easy to find, instructions were simple. Great hosts. Our third time staying and we'll be back again.

A great place to spend the weekend. As a camping spot, it ticks all the boxes, well cared for sites, shady areas, a running creek for dips, fire places, great toilets and the best part is Tony is a great host and very accommodating. Do it, book it in! For those with campers and hybrids, the creek sites are doable, but make sure you know what you are doing as the drive out is steep and loose.

Phenomenal campsite with full privacy, fully functioning toilet/ shower and immaculate surroundings. The hosts were very personable and responsive. The campsite is close to Dayboro for any essentials you may have forgotten. Absolutely loved our time there and so lucky to have beautiful weather.

Stunning property, beautiful views and it’s very well looked after. The camp spot is mowed and the toilets are a great addition. A picturesque drive from Brisbane.

Errol & Kaye were great hosts. We loved the location with easy access to hinterland activities. As an easy location to get to from Brisbane, this was an easy choice for a couple of nights away.

What a lovely spot for a few days. Clean mowed sites large enough for a family of campers. We kayaked (our own inflatables) every day, but all the sites on the water had kayaks or boats waiting for guests to use. Great kids playground, so will bring the grandkids next time.
We were warned about midges but we didn’t notice any. We did wear repellent every day though.
A bit of rain around the first day (still managed a kayak) and we managed to light a fire the second night which was nice at dusk with a sundowner 😊

It turned out to be such a romantic camping trip filled with wonderful memories.
It rained heavily starting the day before departure, so I contacted them, and they told me the place wasn’t affected by the weather, so we decided to come anyway.
We arrived on a rainy day and it rained a lot for the next two days. On the day we were supposed to go home, the sun finally came out, so we extended our stay by one more day.
It’s a place that is incredibly beautiful both in the rain and in the sunshine. The restrooms and shower facilities were extremely clean and perfect.
Since we stayed for three nights, it might have been even better if there had been a sink for dishwash, but it was still perfectly fine without one.
We truly had a happy time here.
We will definitely come back again.

What a fantastic weekend we have just had! The weather was abysmal all weekend however it didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits Our group camp was full of laughter chatting catching up guitar playing singing and generally relaxing. Bushy and Emma are the most fantastic hosts and went over and above to ensure we all were have a wonderful stay at their property. This was our second time out there and certainly won’t be our last. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Hosts Emma and Bushy were wonderful and friendly.
Grounds were amazing with great facilities.
To top it off the D'Ag Pub has a courtesy bus that will do pick up/drop off to the camp grounds.
Can't wait to go back!
