Weekend Trip to Rangetop Farm

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.

2 nights at Rangetop Farm

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!

Weekend Trip to Quails Ridge Farm Stay

I've been to a few hipcamps now and this stood out for the facilities. Kids will love it as there's a playground, I think everyone can use the pool but we didn't use it. The chickens are like dogs and the roosters hilarious. My 7 year old loves it. Good scenery, Woolworths is a 7 minute drive and it's close to Australia Zoo. The host was awesome and accommodating, you can't really ask for more.

Excellent stay next to the beautiful lake and creek. Waking up to grazing horses is seriously special & Michael is a very interesting guy who is more than happy to share his dedication to his horses with you. Good luck in Serbia Michael, give our love to Microsoft, M&M & Hank.

1 night at Belmont Base Camp

This camp close to motorway which was great for us to get our running around done. It is a large grassy block with a lovely breeze. The block is utilised to store some other vans but we were the only campers at the time. We really appreciated the early check in and late check out. Having access to power and water made it a great spot to recharge before we continued on our way. Most places we looked at in Brisbane had a minimum 2 -3 night stay and at least twice the price.
