Exclusive private site on our 80acre WORKING* property just off the Warrego Highway at Haigslea.
*(Please note as we are 1km off the highway there is subsequent highway noise, we are immune to it, but as anything, some people may notice more than others.)
We are a working small rural property so with that comes seasonal tractor work/trucks and an element of busy, depending on what projects are on the go! Real taste of rural life while being smack bang in the privacy and serenity of our buzzing property!
Private gate access for self check in and checkout.
The large campsite is located alongside our 14 acre dam with a pontoon and dam banks to explore.
The site is flat and mowed with easy access from the road for caravans.
The dam is perfect to launch a SUP/ canoe out on, float around on floaties and spot some turtles or eels.
Great to swim in/ try your luck with a fishing rod, but NO JUMPING from the pontoon as water levels vary and submerged debris/ trees etc. (common sense swimming in dam and water sources.)
The pontoon is perfect for evening sunsets (or a sneaky proposal, which has happened a few times already!)
** Please be very conscious of deciding to camp with children in close proximity to an open water source. Safety is our highest priority.
The campsite is bordered by seasonal crops.
We also have Cattle that rotate through different paddocks on the property, depending on feed and crop cycles. (Not all guests will have cattle about sorry kiddies!)
**Pets welcome, but to remain under STRICT supervision. Not to chase cattle or wildlife. **
Our property is also home to the local remote controlled airplane club.
Guests will be able to see and hear them buzzing around of a weekend. You can watch from the campsite but we ask not to walk through the paddocks or approach the club.
During weekday stays (and some weekends) you will have the pleasure to see fighter aircraft, KC-30s and the impressive C17 Globe masters doing some low flying and pass overs as we are just on the edge of the Amberley RAAF Base circuit area.
This campsite suits self-contained campers who bring their own camping shower, and drinking water supply.
A basic long drop outhouse is set up for guest use.

Currently, there are four sites available to be booked. There is a camp kitchen with a two gas burner, all pots and pans, plates and cutlery with table and chairs to sit at. There is also a big esky there to use for either your food or drinks. Fresh water is provided in twenty litre drums.
The bush shower works on the keg being heated up just like a kettle. Once it is hot then a nice warm shower is to be had to wash off all the salt from the ocean. There is also two compost toilets for your convenience.
A unique feature includes the opportunity for surfing, fishing, and swimming in your private lagoon. A short drive will take you to Point Lookout. 10 minutes and you are at the pub mixing with the locals.
Access is via the beach only and tides are a consideration. Please check "Point Lookout tides" on Willy Weather. I don't normally travel on the beach if the tide is over 1.5 metres.
A 4 wheel drive vehicle is required. Camper trailers can be brought in as they are light. Caravans are not permitted due to the tight turning circles.

Exclusive private site on our 80acre WORKING* property just off the Warrego Highway at Haigslea.
*(Please note as we are 1km off the highway there is subsequent highway noise, we are immune to it, but as anything, some people may notice more than others.)
We are a working small rural property so with that comes seasonal tractor work/trucks and an element of busy, depending on what projects are on the go! Real taste of rural life while being smack bang in the privacy and serenity of our buzzing property!
Private gate access for self check in and checkout.
The large campsite is located alongside our 14 acre dam with a pontoon and dam banks to explore.
The site is flat and mowed with easy access from the road for caravans.
The dam is perfect to launch a SUP/ canoe out on, float around on floaties and spot some turtles or eels.
Great to swim in/ try your luck with a fishing rod, but NO JUMPING from the pontoon as water levels vary and submerged debris/ trees etc. (common sense swimming in dam and water sources.)
The pontoon is perfect for evening sunsets (or a sneaky proposal, which has happened a few times already!)
** Please be very conscious of deciding to camp with children in close proximity to an open water source. Safety is our highest priority.
The campsite is bordered by seasonal crops.
We also have Cattle that rotate through different paddocks on the property, depending on feed and crop cycles. (Not all guests will have cattle about sorry kiddies!)
**Pets welcome, but to remain under STRICT supervision. Not to chase cattle or wildlife. **
Our property is also home to the local remote controlled airplane club.
Guests will be able to see and hear them buzzing around of a weekend. You can watch from the campsite but we ask not to walk through the paddocks or approach the club.
During weekday stays (and some weekends) you will have the pleasure to see fighter aircraft, KC-30s and the impressive C17 Globe masters doing some low flying and pass overs as we are just on the edge of the Amberley RAAF Base circuit area.
This campsite suits self-contained campers who bring their own camping shower, and drinking water supply.
A basic long drop outhouse is set up for guest use.

The campsite is situated on the beach, sheltered by the sheoaks in the back dunes. At the rear of the campsite lies a freshwater lagoon, locally known as the keyholes.
Currently, there are four sites available to be booked. There is a camp kitchen with a two gas burner, all pots and pans, plates and cutlery with table and chairs to sit at. There is also a big esky there to use for either your food or drinks. Fresh water is provided in twenty litre drums.
The bush shower works on the keg being heated up just like a kettle. Once it is hot then a nice warm shower is to be had to wash off all the salt from the ocean. There is also two compost toilets for your convenience.
A unique feature includes the opportunity for surfing, fishing, and swimming in your private lagoon. A short drive will take you to Point Lookout. 10 minutes and you are at the pub mixing with the locals.
Access is via the beach only and tides are a consideration. Please check "Point Lookout tides" on Willy Weather. I don't normally travel on the beach if the tide is over 1.5 metres.
A 4 wheel drive vehicle is required. Camper trailers can be brought in as they are light. Caravans are not permitted due to the tight turning circles.

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

What a great spot, private and plenty of space! Helpful to have toilets and the shower too!! The kitchen was good especially for washing up. An absolute bonus to have a solar set with battery so we could charge our devices!! John was super helpful with heaps of local knowledge. We are looking forward to going back again!!
