The campsite at Highfields Pioneer Village offers a mixed vibe. Many campers appreciate the quiet, spacious environment and the friendly staff, along with clean amenities. However, a few reviews mention issues like the lawn needing mowing, unreliable potable water, and some areas used as a dumping ground by the attached museum. It's a place with historic charm and plenty of room to relax, but some maintenance aspects could use attention.
Wonderful location, so close to Toowoomba. Glad we discovered this place, we will be back. Added bonus of being able to see the huge collection of Heritage memorabilia in the Pioneer Village.
