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.

1 night at The Ranch on Clarence

Wow, words can not do justice the amazing time we had at the Ranch! The river views, the hospitality, the tranquility & the fire baths were just magical. Shanti has truly created a slice of heaven out there. For the icing on the cake, make sure to book the horse trek + swim.. i’ve done many treks in my life and this was the best. Plenty of trotting and cantering through stunning scenery, finished by a swim with the horses. Shanti’s way with horses is so special to witness, you can tell they love her as much as she loves them. We will be back, with friends in tow.

Koala is a B E A U T I F U L spot. If I knew I would have planned for a longer stay. Falling asleep to the river rapids was divine. The space was huge for kids to kick a ball and not hit the water or the camp. Maintained green grass. Directions spot on. A short welcome by the host. If we ever go back through Tenterfield I would stay again for sure!

Our weekend was amazing. The whole property is absolutely stunning.. as was our site. It’s not often you get your own little space to camp that feels like you’re the only ones around. Everything was genuinely amazing - the natural beauty (WOW), the peace and quiet, the space at each site, the space between each site, cleanliness.. everything! Busting at the seams to get back!

We stayed in our caravan at the Koala camp site right at the waters edge with the tranquil sounds of water making its way between the rocks heading down stream. Crystal clear cool waters. Upon arrival to our site I wondered why we hadn’t been here before. Definitely Gods country with pastures of rolling hills and stunning views as far as the eye could see. To be awakened each morning with mothers and calves calling out to each other. Some beautiful relics of days gone by. Access into the property and to the creek camp site was easily accessible with caravan in tow. Short country drive into Tenterfield. We had shower and toilet in our caravan but there is a demountable building with bathroom and toilet facilities which was very clean and tidy. Can’t wait to book this camp again. You won’t find another like this. Just a breathtaking property.

The best luxury caravan camping near Stanthorpe guide

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).

Know before you go

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.
In spring, take the Amiens Road loop drive north of Stanthorpe for the best views of orchards in blossom. From early September, stone fruit trees are flowering, followed by apple trees in late September and early October.
