We have several peaceful campsites available on our off grid property near Crows Nest. Also a private glamping site with a 5m Bell Tent - with everything you need for a relaxing night away. We are 10km north of the town of Crows Nest on the Great Dividing Range. 50 minutes from Toowoomba and 2 hours from Brisbane. The hill on the property (Flat Top) is one of the highest points in the area at 700m altitude. From the hilltop, you can enjoy 360-degree views of the surrounding area, with views across the Esk Valley towards the Sunshine Coast and sunsets over the hills surrounding Crows Nest. There are 3 separate campsites on the hilltop, and another 2 sites further down amongst the paddocks and bushland. It is very quiet and peaceful, yet only a 10-minute drive to Crows Nest. Enjoy the spring fed dam in the warmer months. šŸŠā€ā™‚ļø There is plenty to explore in the area, including: šŸž Crows Nest Falls National Park (good for a swim) šŸƒ Bullocky's Rest and creekside walk in Crows Nest (dog friendly) ā˜•ļø Lovely cafes in Crows Nest as well as boutique stores (Nolan's Block is very popular, on the highway). - Honey & Haze cafe (located nearby) - Crows Nest Soft Drinks (made on site) šŸ› An amazing Arts and Crafts store, with local hand made gifts (open every day) šŸ“š A quirky second-hand book store šŸŒ³ Ravensbourne National Park (rainforest and views) šŸš Crows Nest Museum šŸŽ£ Cressbrook and Perseverance Dams šŸš‚ Muntapa Railway Tunnel towards Cooyar šŸ‘©ā€šŸŒ¾ Also markets in Crows Nest on the first Sunday of each month. Further along the New England Highway, Toowoomba is host to the annual Carnival of Flowers in Spring. We hope we can help you have a pleasant and peaceful camping trip! We kindly ask that you familiarise yourself with our property rules, this is not a place for loud music and rowdiness! Please note: We have a long gravel driveway and dirt/grass tracks to the campsites. 2WD accessible, but it's rough. Pet friendly šŸ•

Lorikeet's Nest
Peaceful and Quiet Views! We enjoyed a 3 night 4 day stay at the Lorikeets Nest site. This site isnā€™t on top of the hill, but still offers solid views on the side of the hill. We arrived easily to the camp in our little 2WD i30. The driveway has a few bumps and rocks, but to totally manageable. There is a short stretch of graded dirt road leading to the drive way, coming from Crows Nest, but again no concerns for any other 2WD campers! Lorikeets Nest was a huge area, with flat grassy areas, an in ground fire pit, small portable fire pit, and tress for shade or hammocking. There is a drop toilet right by the site that has a few spider friends, but in good condition otherwise (no smell which was good!!). There is a no potable water tap by the site, but it wasnā€™t working when we stayed. Iā€™m assuming itā€™s using rain water, and it has been a few dry weeks when we stayed. The site is on a hill, so we experienced quite a bit of wind coming up the hill, but again nothing that took away from the peace and solitude. There was a friendly Kelpie that loved a game of fetch. The hosts dropped some firewood for us before our arrival, which was a great help! Crows Nest is a short drive down the road, and has the amenities youā€™d need. We went the short distance to Crows Nest NP and enjoyed the lovely treks. Iā€™ll definitely be recommending all the sites offered, and would love to come back again!

We absolutely loved camping at Eagleā€™s Nest! Such an AMAZING 360 degree view and a lovely, shady spot that felt nice and private from the other campsites. We also found it to be one of the shadiest campsites, which was a huge bonus. We had a group of 7 adults and 8 dogs, and the dogs had the absolute best time! They had plenty of space to roam, run and enjoy the fresh air and freedom. šŸ¶šŸŒæ The toilet was nice and clean and not too far of a walk from the campsite, and itā€™s only a short drive into town if you need any last-minute supplies. We had such a wonderful stay and would definitely camp here again! šŸ•ļøšŸ¾ā¤ļø

I absolutely loved my stay at Bellbirdā€™s Nest. The campsite was peaceful and private, with beautiful views and plenty of space to just relax and enjoy being out in nature. It was exactly the kind of quiet getaway I was looking for. I travelled with my dog, Jess, and really appreciated having a spacious campsite where we could settle in comfortably. Leacia was lovely and very helpful, and communication before the stay was easy. Being able to buy firewood at the farm stall was also really convenient. The location is fantastic ā€” close enough to Crows Nest for shops, cafĆ©s and walks, and I also did a day trip to Toowoomba for the Carnival of Flowers. But back at camp it felt wonderfully peaceful and removed from everything. Sitting by the fire and enjoying the views was definitely a highlight. Iā€™d happily stay again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, scenic camping spot in the Crows Nest area. šŸ•ļøšŸ¾šŸ”„

Such a beautiful, secluded spot, we didnā€™t see another person the entire time we were there. The whole setup was amazing. Everything felt comfortable and thoughtfully done, without being overly modern or losing that cosy camping feel. Definitely my version of camping šŸ™Œ We also ventured out for a couple of nearby hikes and spent some time exploring the local town. The hosts were incredibly helpful and communicative throughout, which made the whole stay even easier. Would definitely stay here again!

Loved the quit surroundings and the friendly farm animals. We were on a paddock with a horse and had some cows next us. Except those there was no one in sight. Which we loved! We had the site completely to ourselves and did not see someone else not even a car. We were at Wagtails Nest and 5 out of 6 sites were booked. That is exactly what we love going with HipCamp. No crowds, no noise. 12/10 would recommend.
