42km from Stanthorpe · 16 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Located 19 km due east of the famous historical village of Tenterfield the working, cattle breeding, property "Mindoo" has recently opened its gates to campers.
Framed by the rugged border range National Parks "Mindoo" is 1100 acres of rolling green hills dissected by the pure, cascading, waters of the Cataract River which provide a number of private riverside campsites. Campers are encouraged to meander along the continually changing River and explore its many secluded swimming holes and enjoy the abundant wildlife that cohabitates with the Angus/Wagyu cow herd. Direct access to the neighbouring National Parks and State Forests offers an array of day trips to hikers, mountain bikers, or horse riders where they can discover the natural treasures of Basket Swamp and Boonoo Boonoo Falls, Woolool Woolooni, among others.
For those who require a little more comfort, and lets face it we all do at times, the Mindoo Cabin is available. Featuring three bedrooms, open plan living/dining/kitchen,and a shady deck overlooking the River the cabin sleeps eight and still allows visitors to partake in all the adventures that "Mindoo" offers with the benefit of a comfortable rest when the day is done.
Unfortunately horse riding is no longer covered by our insurance policy. You are able to bring your horses, however evidence of your own insurance policy must be provided.
Be as adventurous or as restful as you please as both options are freely available. Mountain Biking, Hiking, or just riding your hammock and relaxing we are sure you will enjoy your time at "Mindoo". All of our river sites are designated and are space apart.
As most of our sites are on the river and have farm tracks to access, if it is wet we may have to move you to a different site. 4wds are recommended for all sites and are required for some site. Please read the listing for the campsite you are wanting to book. Some of our sites do not suit caravans. All roads require high clearance vans.
If you do not like dogs or your own dogs are not very sociable Mindoo may not be the place for you. Daisy the Doodle (Golden Retriever/Poodle) and Paul the Pig Dog (a very gentle Bull Mastif/Catahoula) like to come and say hello to campers at The Park & The Junction.

Rocky River Play Station is a large, working bush property on the banks of the Timbarra River, about 20 km / 30 minutes south of Drake Village — an old gold-mining community tucked into the NSW Northern Rivers hinterland. This is a place for slowing down, getting muddy, swimming in rivers, watching light change across the hills, and sharing space with wildlife and our resident cows.
Your hosts live further back on the property. We’re close enough to help if needed, but far enough away that you’ll feel properly off-grid.
There is no mobile reception, which many guests find is part of the magic. If you’re craving real disconnection, you’ll find it here.
This is a leave-no-trace property:
- There are no bins — please take all rubbish with you when you leave.
- Campfires are welcome when there is no fire ban. Bring your own firewood, or collect some here.
- Facilities vary by site — please check individual listings carefully and come prepared.
Pets may be possible by request. We love visiting animals, but we also protect local wildlife and our calm, grass-powered lawnmowers (the cows), so approval is on a case-by-case basis.
Rocky River Play Station is also home to evolving creative projects, small gatherings, and the Brushtales Arts Residency. Some guests come to rest, some to create, some to gather — all are welcome, provided you’re comfortable with a living, breathing place that continues to grow.

What a hidden gem of a place. We absolutely loved our stay at the cabin, from the moment we arrived we enjoyed every second. It’s such a private, peaceful spot and the scenery and river were simply magnificent. Both kids and adults had a blast spending the whole day in the river. For off-grid campers we were spoiled and appreciated the hot shower, flushing toilet and water for washing up. Jess was lovely and took the time to come and meet us, bringing some lucerne for the cows. We were also lucky enough to have a resident peacock visit who clearly loved his watermelon treat. So sad to leave and we can’t wait to return.

Really great cabin in an even better location! My partner and I loved our stay in the cabin. There was plenty of space inside with everything you need and we felt very secluded with lots of privacy. There was cows roaming around which you could feed and a beautiful peacock walking about. The property has plenty lots to offer and explore with a walking trail we found and an unbelievable creek which was great for a swim and to explore. Jess was super helpful and friendly too and even checked in on us when a storm rolled through. Would highly recommend!

Amazing camping location. The campgrounds were exactly as described, well maintained and easy to access. We had a relaxing and wonderful time with our two dogs. The private river is beautiful and surrounded by stunning scenery.
We also spent a few nights in the tiny home, which was equally enjoyable and very convenient, with access to the BBQ, deck, and comfortable lounge area.
Dan and Kristy were excellent hosts and very accommodating. By far best communication we’ve experienced at any Hipcamp we’ve stayed at.
We will definitely be returning.

Having all the facilities of the cabin made camping so easy and comfortable. Its a beautiful spot by the river. The kids loved everything about it and feeding Colin 110, was a highlight. We'd definitely come again. Thanks Jess

Weekend Trip to Clarence River Wilderness Lodge
Clarence River Lodge is so stunning !! It was our first time exploring the wilderness and we loved it. Sharon was lovely and it was very nice listening to her stories. We took our Cherry Tiggo 4 which is a 2wd and it made it through the gravel roads, be sure to drive super careful though if taking a 2wd.We stayed in the tree hut and it was nice and cozy. Our overall experience was amazing.

4 nights at Eagle Ridge Bush Retreat
We stayed at the Glamping Tent and had such a wonderful time. We really enjoyed the time relaxing and enjoying the creek.
There is mostly everything you need in the camp kitchen (4 plates, stainless steel cups, 4 of each cutlery, pots and pans), gas cooker, basin with running water, some coffee and tea.
There were 4 chairs and loungers with an umbrella to enjoy the view over the creek.
There is a composting loo and shower in the same area.
If you are more than 4 people, then recommend taking extra eating utensils and chairs.
We took a kayak and SUP board and paddled down the creek to the low bridge which was awesome and went over some rapids. Expect it to take around 2hrs to get to the bridge and have someone fetch you.
Can highly recommend this spot. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

4 nights at Eagle Ridge Bush Retreat
Beautiful spot in the country! Dog and I thoroughly enjoyed swimming, sunbaking, running around on the grass and more swimming! The dirt road to access was a breeze with a 4x4 and a bit of added fun. The tiny home is everything as described. It's clean, comfortable and in my opinion glamping as it had a bbq, hot shower and toilet. Most of the campsites are a good distance apart so you can't see other campers, there's only once site that's close to others. I was very fortunate as it wasn't booked whilst I stayed in the tiny home. Kristy is very down to earth, easy going and a pleasure to communicate with. Thank you so much for a wonderful getaway for myself and doggo.

2 nights at Eagle Ridge Bush Retreat
Absolutely loved our time here! The tiny home was perfect for my parents and we stayed in our rooftop tent right next to it. The creek was beautiful and peaceful and we had fun tubing down the creek. Birdsong and wildlife were stunning and we also loved the wild cows making and appearance.
The only thing I would mention is that the BBQ is screaming out for deep clean. And if you are in to your cooking, the amenities for cooking are very basic so bring extra utensils, cutlery, oil etc.

Weekend Trip to Eagle Ridge Bush Retreat
Location was superb, the Glamping tents location was private and provided a sanctuary away from the rest of world, even more so without reception (Telstra reception may exist in the area, but not really anywhere along the river).
Having a stretch of the river to yourself elevates the getaway to a whole new level.
We did have a slight hiccup that lead to cold showers on the first rainy night, but Dan and Kristy were straight on to it, even offering to visit the campsite at 10pm to fix it for us.
The camp set up is rustic, but works for a quick getaway away from the hustle and bustle.

Where to go
Girraween National Park
About 26 km (16 miles) south of Stanthorpe, Girraween National Park is known for its huge 200-million-year-old Triassic granite boulders. Hikers and climbers can tackle Castle Rock, the Pyramid, and Mount Norman, while walkers have 17 km (10.5 miles) of tracks to explore.
Sundown National Park
A feature of Sundown National Park is the Severn River, which cuts through the park forming steep gorges and sharp ridges. In Red Rock Gorge, waterfalls cascade 50 metres (154 feet) over the red cliffs. Popular with birdwatchers, Sundown is also a great place for camping thanks to the riverside Broadwater camping area, home to a ranger station.
Mt Marlay
For panoramic views of the region, take the Mt Marlay Lookout and Summit Walk, a steep winding path on the edge of town. There are picnic tables and binoculars at the top.
Quart Pot Creek
Walking paths on both sides of Quart Pot Creek lead to picnic spots, playgrounds, and rock pools where you can swim. The Red Bridge was built in the 1880s as a railway bridge.
When to go
The Granite Belt has a distinct four seasons, and is renowned as the coldest place in Queensland, with winter sometimes even bringing snowfall. Spring is a great time to visit Girraween National Park, when the wildflowers are in bloom. Major festivals include the Apple and Grape Harvest Festival (March, every two years) and Brass Monkey Season every winter (June to August).

- Camping permits are required for all Queensland parks, forests, and reserves. Reserve them online in advance, and make camping books as early as possible.
- Stanthorpe has excellent facilities for stocking up before you go camping. You’ll find a post office, pharmacy, visitor information centre, banks, and car hire companies.
- Many of the Granite Belt’s camping areas are within a short drive of wineries and cellar doors.
