    Ruby Rest is a working horse stud and farm supply store. We are technically in NSW with our boundary fence being the QLD border. The property is located just 5 mins from the town of Stanthorpe known for its chilly temperatures, apple orchards and wineries. We are a family owned and run operation and are happy to share our little piece of granite belt beauty with happy campers. There is one toilet and two showers so patience and consideration is required, especially on busy weekends.

    Ruby Rest is a working horse stud and on farm rural supply store. We are technically in NSW with our boundary fence being the QLD border. We are just a 5 minute drive from the town of Stanthorpe known for its chilly temperatures, apple orchards and wineries. We are a family owned and run operation and are happy to share our little piece of granite belt beauty with happy campers. We have two types of sites. Sites with amenities for those that like their comforts and completely self sufficient sites without amenities for the wild ones. Booking prices reflect this. There are several different sites to choose from depending on what suits your needs. Whether you want to be nestled into a granite boulder rise or down by the waters edge, you take your pick. During the winter months the undulating ground gives some protection from the icy breeze and there are plenty of shade trees for the summertime. All sites overlook the gully of dams and wetlands gently flowing into each other and alive with Birdlife. Please be aware that we are in a rural and farming area. Occassionly late at night or early morning the smell of pig farming from a neighbouring property may waft in. Apologies if you are unlucky enough to experience this but don't worry it disappears as quickly as it arrives. There are risks associated with camping, these can include wildlife encounters with snakes/spiders and other biting insects. Dingoes are present so pets and children must be kept in your sight at all times and water can be deadly, so children must be accompanied by an adult at all times when outdoors. Wedge-tailed eagles and hawks patrol the skies and little dogs that look like bunnies are not off the menu for them. Be vigilant and do not feed the dingoes. If you are approached by them do not run. Calmly make some noise, clap your hands or pick up a stick to wave at them and get to the safety of your site. Please contact me if you have an encounter and I will do my best to vacate them.

    Ruby Rest with amenities
    Amenities were good. Only two showers and one toilet though so I'd allow extra time if the place is busy. It was completely empty for us which was great to have the place to ourselves. About what you would expect for camping in a paddock in terms of views. I'd go back though.

    What an amazing spot! We were greeted by horses at the gate, which my kids were thrilled to see. There were plenty of available branches on the ground to utilise as firewood and our spot right beside the water was perfect. We walked up to the amenities for nice warm showers on a cold morning - what an absolute treat. We stayed at Ruby Rest on our way down to Tenterfield, it was a short 10min detour off the highway and easily fit our large setup (Silverado 2500 + 23ft caravan) Special mention goes to Mick & Kendall who got our drone that was stuck in the tree too! We will definitely be back!

    Big open farm land about 5 mins from Stanthorpe itself. Was greeted by one of the daughters on horseback which was cool! Who was polite and told us where we could camp. It was very rainy and windy while we were there. The amenities were clean and user friendly.

    Great proximity to Stanthorpe with beautiful sunset views around a fire. Friendly hosts and visiting horses. Directions are a little unclear with two access points, and the shed you are looking for is probably more brown than red.

    We arrived after dark and hard some difficulty finding an empty spot, but Kendall came straight down and helped us find a perfect spot right next to a little glade of trees. The amenities were good and we had a lovely time!

    Lovely spot, with beautiful vista of dam. Loads of bird life and very friendly horses. Great off leashes site for well behaved dogs. Signage a little tricky to notice but owners helped direct us to find a site. Facilities very clean but a decent walk from camp.

    Ruby Rest without amenities
    This was our second time camping at Ruby Rest and this time we brought friends along too. We looove the space. Lots of flat ground for tents and ample, comfortable space for campervans as well. When we weren’t out hiking in Girraween or Bald Rock national parks, we took some beautiful walks around the dams atcthe property and enjoyed the sight of horses, cows and buffalo. There is access to two showers and a toilet, and the most we had to wait to use either of those were a few minutes. Hot water never ran out and the host, Kendall seems to always be around to help or to answer any questions. I’d recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay somewhere in the vicinity of Stanthorpe!

    Just a couple of nights for us tenting here at Ruby Rest. Setting up amongst the trees and rocky outcrops, perfect for a nice campfire. Day trips to Girraween and an apple picking experience. Super serene evenings looking at the stars and campfires from other families around the paddocks.

    Great Dog Friendly Campsite

    Ruby Rest with amenities
    Lovely spot just out of Stanthorpe, great that it's very dog friendly and my pup had a great time as did I. The amenities were nice and clean and the showers were hot, my only wish was that there was one more toilet. However I say that only because I went during the Easter long weekend. As you can expect it was quite busy, so there was a queue at peak times. However even with it being as busy as it was there was still plenty of space between the campsites. I could definitely see it being much more spacious on an ordinary weekend. Plenty of free firewood on site just bring an axe or electric chainsaw to cut down the fallen wood.

    The property was beautiful and the sites weren't too close together. We were lucky enough to have a whole area all to ourselves! There was plenty of fire wood around for us to collect for our fires, and the property is conveniently located within minutes to Stanthorpe. I would definitely come back here to stay again.

    We were very happy staying at Ruby Rest. We had a lovely outlook over the property and dams. Hearing the chorus of frogs and crickets at night was wonderful and we enjoyed the visits from the horses too. Very peaceful and tranquil. We loved watching the beautiful sunsets and the incredible cloud formations from the thunder storms. Being close to Stanthorpe, Girraween and Bald Rock were a bonus. We will be back. Thanks Kendall.

    Beautiful property. Very peaceful, and close to Stanthorpe. We stayed past the Red Shed, up on the hill in between the 2 dams. We are fully self contained and had to be as there are no amenities anywhere near this camp spot. We were the only campers in this part if the property. We had a magnificent stay.
