Weekend Trip to Rocky Creek Homestead

Directions and communication were clear. Price was good. Surrounds were beautiful. Fire pits for each site and options on where to camp within each site were good too. It was peaceful. Pretty. Inviting. I would stay here again for sure! The goat curry was so yumm and good help when I made enquiries about my food intolerances. I got to camp in a thunderstorm and the place was even more beautiful the morning after. There was one goat who was very friendly and I enjoyed watching the shaggy cows stand in the creek and the kids chase each other up the banks. This was a very good experience

Weekend Trip to Djitti Djitti Farm

We had amazing views. A great sense of serenity and very friendly hosts. We had the paddock to ourselves along with the cows and horses. We stayed on a wet weekend so we did not get the chance to spotlight some wildlife. Would recommend to anyone who loves mountain views. And being out with the wildlife. Would advise bringing a rake to help clear a spot for your setup.

2 nights at Savvy Creek Farms

My wife and I had a fantastic 2 night stay in our caravan at Savvy Farmstay. Ben and his family were wonderful hosts and so helpful as we were unfamiliar with the local area. Was a relaxing farm to stay at seeing lots of young piglets and lambs in their pens. Small baby chickens roaming around free. Walking the bush trails around the dam and creek were fun. Thank you Ben, Jess and children.

I absolutely loved the Valley Views campsite and it was such a peaceful location. Had the cows and new calves visit me one morning which was extra special. Laura and Neil were very friendly and took me up to the campsite. Unfortunately there were a lot of thunderstorms around each night so left a day earlier than anticipated but intend on coming back when the weather has settled.

Ben & his beautiful family were nothing short of the most wonderful hosts. On arrival they met us, including the dog 🤣 where we were parking our van. Explained where everything was and open for us to use the pool if we liked. Ben text me the following night asking how my husband was as he went in for surgery that day. I was so appreciative to know he cared to make contact and check in. Our van and belongings were safe and we were also told we could have a fire if we felt we wanted one. Ben also helped me to hook up the van on our day of leaving as my husband wasn’t able after surgery. I was in a spot of bother after needing a jack and a power pack, Ben and his kids come to the rescue. Could not have been more grateful for his kindness and support during our stay. A huge ‘thankyou’ to Ben’s Camp for allowing us to stay in a safe and caring place while my husband was in hospital. We will be back again Kind regards Cheryl & Clarrie Sellars

Weekend Trip to Savvy Creek Farms

We stayed at Savvy Creek Farms, Camp Fire Flats for two nights. Ben the owner met us as we arrived and welcomed us and showed us where our site was. Camp Fire Flats has access to power and water. There is a lovely fire pit with logs you can sit on. The site also has a flushing toilet not even 20 metres away. You also have access to the bathroom and shower room located just inside the backyard of the main house property. Ben made us feel very welcome, we had access to the Spa pool inside the backyard of the main house. Savvy Creek Farms has livestock on the property Chickens, Sheep and Pigs. Ben made our kids day when he brought over some of the little piglet's for our kids to see and hold (very cute). You can see Ben and his family take pride in their property and are working on beautifying and improving their property even further. The property is about 10mins outside Withcott and 20min away from Picnic Point Toowoomba. Thanks for having us we enjoyed our stay.
