Carrington offers a serene escape in the countryside, with its spacious and peaceful environment being a consistent highlight among campers. Visitors appreciate the privacy afforded by well-spaced sites and find joy in the company of the friendly farm animals that roam the area. Host Cathy is frequently mentioned for her warm hospitality, ensuring guests feel welcomed and attended to without being intrusive. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few noted the lack of shade at some sites, so it's worth considering if shade is a priority for your stay.

From the first step onto Carrington we felt welcomed.
Cathy met us at the gate and showed us to our site. And WOW the site was spectacular. We stayed down near the dam and we loved every minute of our stay.
We had some visitors a few donkeys and some cows and forgot the rod to do some fishing.
But will bring this next time.
Thanks again Cathy for the opportunity to stay on your beautiful property

If you’re looking to get off grid in a peaceful environment, then this is the place. Friendly host, wandering farm animals, far enough away from civilisation for total peace and quiet, but close enough, that if required is only a 15 min drive away.

The property was nicely mown and tidy. Cathy was friendly and helpful. A little tricky to find. We missed the road number and the property wasn’t really on Pikedale Rd but McDougall.

The place was good. The sites are well spaced out and you have good privacy and little risk of disturbing other campers. There are a lot of other sites on this location that are better than this one. Make note, there are no trees at all that can be utilised for shade on this site. The photos on the site listing for Top of the hill are not of the site itself. I specifically chose this site because of the photo that has shade trees and is well away from the other sites. Ultimately we were fine because we had 2, 3x3 shelters. We would go back there, but wouldn't use this site.

We spent the Easter long weekend at Carrington and couldn’t have asked for a better escape. The property is absolutely stunning—spacious, quiet, and surrounded by nature. Sites are well spaced out which is what attracts us to a Hipcamp.
Waking up to the sound of horses, donkeys, and sheep was such a wholesome experience.
The campsite was well-maintained, and Cathy clearly puts her love into every detail. Our firewood was delivered before we arrived, Cathy meet us and escorted us to site with a lovely check in the next day to ensure all was good.
Our dogs had the best time exploring and watching all the animals roam past our site to drink at the dam. We loved winding down with campfires under the stars. It felt private, yet welcoming—exactly what we were looking for.
Highly recommend if you're after a peaceful countryside getaway with a touch of farm life charm. We’ll definitely be back!

Easter 2025 Carrington "Pony Paddock". Awesome spot for our large group of 18 campers, 4 dogs, combo of caravans, camper trailers and tent camping. Elevated position, which gave us a wonderful outlook of the countryside. Took ski boats for a spin on Leslie Dam a short 15 minute drive to the water edge. Host Cathy, helpful friendly and very welcoming host. The propertys little dam also was a treat for a little fish for yellow belly and cod. 15 minute drive if that on stanthorpe highway and you are in Warwick, very handy position and all the privacy you would wish for. Awesome weather and easy access to the property and our camp site. The camp fire under the stars every night was awesome. Thanks Cathy for sharing your property with us all.

What a beautiful spot! The site was huge, well-maintained and extremely clean right on the dam with plenty of space between us and other campers to feel like we had our own private property. Cathy was an exceptional host - so welcoming, friendly and helpful right down to personally escorting us to the site where she had firewood ready to go and her daily check-ins with dogs in tow were a highlight. The kids loved all the animals, especially the donkey welcoming committee! We will definitely be back.

- Not too far off the highway but far enough from the traffic noise.
- Cathy’s instruction is clear and easy to follow
- Cathy, Luther, and Alice were warmly welcoming
- Stevie’s Tree was very easy to access, super tidy, super clean. The tree and the water view are stunning
- The farm animals take turns visiting us. They are cute and peaceful, not causing any trouble at all (no bad smells, no flies). I woke up with a calf outside my window and a few cows sat around the fire pit. Hard not to laugh.
- Can’t get TV reception but probably our antenna isn’t very good.
- Mobile and internet reception are excellent
- Cancellation policy is better than most
- Highly recommended

Unfortunately our Van lost all brakes back in Brisbane on the day we were to arrive and couldn’t make it.
Cathy gave us a full refund which we honestly weren’t expecting as it wasn’t her fault.
When Van is back up and running will definitely be rebooking out of curtesy to enjoy this little paradise on the dam.

Cathy provided great service the whole trip and ensured we were well looked after and enjoying our stay. Swimming in the dam is lovely and the beautiful property just elevates the overall experience. Genuinely the best hipcamp my mates and I have been to so far. Would for sure come back and recommend to anyone and everyone.

Top of the Hill
We loved camping at Cathy's property. The site was so well mown you could probably play bowls on it, and had awesome views of the dam and surrounding bushland. Sites are very far away from eachother which means the privacy and views are amazing. Absolutely worth the money to come stay here where you arent cramed in next to other campers.
Heaps of animals to watch all day, and awesome views of the stars at night. We bought 2 nights worth of firewood from Cathy and couldn't even burn it all in 2 nights, so buy your firewood from here. The top of the hill site has a slight slope, but not enough to be worried about even in a tent. We will definitely be back, couldnt rate this place highly enough.

Thank you Cathy for having us for the long weekend... we loved the spot! So peaceful and private - even though a few others were camping, the sites are so spacious and far away from each other, you feel as though you are the only ones there.
We loved all the farm animals!! It was so nice waking up to see sheep and cows grazing, and the single goat! Very picturesque - especially with the dam right there as well.
We will definitely be back!

Cathy was incredible and gave our girls a great experience including us to feeding all the animals even if our daughter thought it was a chicken farm. A very relaxed, friendly atmosphere “including the animals” easy accessible/levelled site with our 22.6ft caravan and Highly recommended stay.

What an awesome spot right next to the dam! We loved waking up of a morning and seeing the cattle go into the dam, as well as visits from the sheep and donkeys. Very spacious and Cathy was a great host, leaving us to our own devices.
We will definitely be back-thanks Cathy!

Fabulous place. So quiet and peaceful on the dam. Cathy was the coolest and most friendly host we have ever had. Thank you Cathy for helping us with everything we needed. Loved having all the livestock around our site, we watched them all day. We could buy firewood which was a great help. We will definitely go back again.

Cathy the Host was very welcoming and obliging. Fabulous spot for bird photography with 19 species sighted including loads of Mulga Parrots, Corellas, Wood ducks, a glorious Eagle, 3 types of cormorants and much more. The dam is about half full. Praying for more rain for this region. We will be back. Stunning sets too.

The host was lovely, the spot was beautiful with plenty of room around. Unfortunately it was the added booking cost from Hipcamp that has made it too expensive for us. There are no facilities, which is fine as we are self contained, but to pay $47/ night for that is not reasonable for us.
