Dalmoak Bush Retreat is located just 15 minutes from Stanthorpe on a very quiet country road. This is working a cattle and sheep property. The property is 3000 acres of a mixture of open grazing land and moderately timbered to heavily timbered land. The land ranges from reasonably flat areas to undulating areas, there is also quite steep rocky areas which if you venture up on foot will reward you with spectacular views. It is the ideal spot for getting away from the rat race and just relaxing under the stars. We have slashed a number of spacious areas where camping is allowed and are continually developing the sites for camper comfort. Guests are required to be fully self sufficient with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. In the surrounding area you can go for a walk, ride your push bike and also enjoy looking at the stars at night around your campfire (no light pollution here). Please note there are 2 dams close by therefore parental supervision of small children required. Pets are welcome but must be kept on a leash at all times to protect our livestock. Please clean up after your pets.Dalmoak Bush Retreat is located just 15 minutes from Stanthorpe on a very quiet country road. This is working a cattle and sheep property.

Beautiful location in the forest by Stanthorpe. Very quiet and secluded. We had the place to ourselves and had a nice fire. Would definitely stay here when we come out to Stanthorpe again.

Loved our few days camping at Fern Tree Campsite! We were the only ones there, so it was awesome going around and checking out the other sites too. Owners were amazing - great directions and checked in on arrival and provided a bit about what to do around the property and in town. Our dog loved roaming the camp. Had some storms but nothing major and got some great photos. Will definitely be back 👍

Calm and Relaxing

Tent · With kids

We camped as a small group and the camping space we had was awesome. A small but fun drive down to the creek was great, the children loved floating on their kayaks or floaties. Plenty of wood for a camp fire and Robin was great at occasionally checking on us but also allowing us our space it was nice.

We had such a great time! Kids had space to run and play. It turned out it was just us and friends we were camping with. Although there's lots of space between the different camp areas. Kids loved kayaking in the creek. Which for our young kids was the perfect shallow creek to learn to kayak for the first time. We'd come back for sure, in fact the kids didn't want to leave.

Camping at Dalmoak

Tent

Dalmoak was a great place to stay. We only stayed for one night, but it was a nice quiet, beautiful spot to set up camp for a night. We were greeted on arrival by the owners Robin and John. John bought down some fire wood and cut it up for us so we could use the fire pit provided. We were surrounded by a couple of cows and their babies and they were very friendly and curious.
