I have 8 sites at the moment each one is in a open bushland setting with lovely views, no site is within 100 meters of another and each one has a different view with lots of privacy, and all Dog and Kid friendly, shallow water, and deep water for swimming or kayaking , creeks, animals to feed and heaps of room to run and play. Adult friendly, huge sites for big groups and plenty of space, great swimming and lots of things to here and in the surrounding areas. Some sites are more suited to Caravans as the access is better and some are better suited to campers / 4WD but all can be accessed with a regular car. We have NO road frontage so sites are private, quiet and safe and only 3ks off the New England Highway. All campers MUST bring their own Chemical toilet and shower facilities. A small rest room and shower is available in case of emergency only I run a working farm raising Sheep and Lambs, Chickens, Ducks, Horses, Donkeys, Vegies, Preserves and Jams. Farm produce is available on request and availability, eg Free range eggs , farm raised Lamb, locally sourced Bacon for the BBQ , and seasonal vegetables, jams and chutneys. Thanks to the Beautiful rain we have had recently, our large dam is full, providing a wonderful spot for swimming, paddling or just splashing about, the Dam has long sloping access so is great for families and dogs, PLEASE NOTE The Google Maps photo is way out of date, our Dam is full. For those who may be into Waterskiing or Fishing Leslie Dam is a 10 min drive away and offers fishing and water sports then come back to your quiet camp away from the crowds. We are 20 min South of Warwick, We are only 30 min from the Stanthorpe Wineries, Breweries fresh fruit and Vege, Cheese factory to name a few things to do. A little further along you will find Girraween National Park renowned for amazing walks. Warwick Hosts the Biggest and Best Campdraft and Rodeo on the last full week of October (Covid permitting) as well as the quirky Jumpers and Jazz festival in July. Steam Train Journeys , half or full days, We have an amazing motor sport venue which holds meet every weekend, cars bikes, vintage, minis, Porsche's, you name it they race it every weekend. As well as many Equestrian Events, you can spend the day out exploring and then you can come back to your beautiful campsite, that is if you have not decided to stay relaxing and swimming for the day in the quiet watching the sheep and horses pass bye to then watch the Sunset and wildlife then look at the amazing night sky. Children under 13 free We are also Dog Friendly (conditions apply)

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 Regards Adam, Karen and Maddi

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.

Top of the Hill
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.
