    Camping site is located in 41 acres of natural bush land, the perfect get away for nature lovers, hikers, horse riders and bird watchers. There is a dam and a forested area studded with granite boulders. The property is in an an elevated spot, it has lovely views and great places to camp and there's a lovely yielding atmosphere of peace and tranquility. There are accessible walking trails through the property with several areas of slightly sloping ground. We are a ten minute drive from Girraween National park, a popular haunt for hikers and bird and nature lovers in general. Ballandean winery and the Ballandean pub is also close, it serves affordable and wholesome dinners and there is a shop and a cafe as well as a restaurant there. The town of Jennings is a small, quirky town close to the border, with a population of about 150. Jennings is in two time zones, both QLD and NSW! There are many popular wineries in the region, three of which have wonderful restaurant meals. 13 minutes drive going south, is the much-loved federation town of Tenterfield - with appealing cafes, clothes shops, country outfitters, the famous Tenterfield Saddlery and a cinema which seats about 50, a railway museum, a stylish yet friendly Commercial Hotel for eating out and a historic café where federation was called into being by Henry Parkes. There are occasional Saturday morning markets too. A fun place to hang out! No motorbikes or hunting please. This land is for wildlife and supports wallabies, kangaroos and a variety of birds. On walks around the property you can spot various delicate purple, white, yellow and rust coloured flowers.Camping site is located in 41 acres of natural bush land, the perfect get away for nature lovers, hikers, horse riders and bird watchers.

    This campsite offers a serene and private experience, perfect for those looking to immerse themselves in nature. Visitors consistently mention the friendly wildlife, including kangaroos and birds, adding to the peaceful atmosphere. The site is well-equipped with a fire pit and easy access to local attractions like national parks and wineries. While some reviews note slight road noise, the overall consensus is that the tranquility and natural beauty far outweigh this minor inconvenience.

    So peaceful and private
    Tent
    I had a fabulous two nights stay at this wonderful site. You have plenty of privacy and the cows and kangaroos and birds on the property are all friendly. Direction was spot on and the site is huge with a fire pit perfect for campfire cooking. Located just on the NSW side of the QLD/NSW border, I would highly recommend this site to anyone :)

    What a beautiful place, it was our first trip off grid and we loved the tranquility, watching nature at its finest ( first storm), great places to explore with our very well behaved poodle. Thank you for sharing your little bit of paradise. Adele and Robbie and Abbie

    Great site, private, firepit & table, easy access and signpost to camping site with a large mowed grass area to set up with wallabies, bird life, rock bolders and mountains to enjoy. Close to the national park, wineries etc. Prompt replies from Gillian. Only downside was very slight road noise if wind blowing our way however this was more than offset by the location with no-one else around and easy access to the amenities in the area! Definitively go back and recommend to others.
