    Was a lovely place to stay for the night in our caravan on our way home. Easy to find, quiet, peaceful and so nice waking up to the cows at our door.

    Great little spot about 14 clicks south of Cooyar, just off the road. Had the place all to myself on a Saturday afternoon and night, so was able to grab the prime spot overlooking the dam. Nice and private, nice and quiet. Heaps of well trimmed flat space around. It's a working cattle farm and curious cows will come down to drink from the dam. It also means there are a few flies around - but they didn't bother me too much. If you are more sensitive/perturbed by flies - make sure your gazebo has some mesh walls to keep them out ;) The dam would be ideal for some swimming and/or Stand Up Paddle Boards. Also a great spot (cheap) if you need a place to overnight while on a longer trip.

    Long weekend.
    18 m travel trailer · With pets
    Had a great weekend and in a lovely spot. we camped right next to the Dam having the water views when we wake in the morning. If you forget anything the shops are not far depending on the way you need to go. My shower broke and had to do a run into Toowoomba and took 50 minutes. My dog also loved it as she has never seen cattle before and she was amazing. A long weekend at this site was really good and will visit again.

    Camping by the dam.
    Tent · With pets
    We had the camp to ourselves. It's a great spot to relax for the night overlooking the dam and the rolling hills. Easy to understand instructions for arrival, well maintained campsite with a great firepit. We visited the Tunnel afterwards which is a short drive away.
