CURRENTLY CLOSED. We are a small 107 acre farm on the Great Dividing Range, a 10 minute drive from Toowoomba. Hopetoun Hills is a tranquil place to relax with water ducks, kangaroos, wallabies and all sorts of birds including the wedge tail eagles that come back to nest every year! Sadly in the drier months, our dam may not be full and the grass not green! YOU MUST BE FULLY SELF CONTAINED. You MUST have TOILET (that you take with you when you leave), and SHOWERING facilities. If you do not have these then we are very sorry but we can not accommodate you, and if you do arrive and don't have these facilities we can't allow you to stay. This is a health issue for other campers, ourselves and our stock. Our property is not suitable for young children due to the creek, dam, electric fencing and stock. We welcome dogs, although they must be kept on a lead and/or contained for the courtesy of other guests, and we have livestock such as cattle, calves, horses, a donkey and a bull who don't take well to strange dogs. There are a few places you may choose to camp and the spacious room allows privacy if you wish to have early nights/early mornings and not be too close to others. We don't allow party groups/parties due to the courtesy of other campers and we do ask that you remember; this is a farm not a caravan park, there are cattle and horses. We can provide potable water for campers staying more than a few days, or travelling on the road. You will require appropriate water jerry cans/drums or we can fill your tanks up directly from the shed. In the warmer months you can sleep with windows, doors and hatch's open in the tranquil country setting. Your caravan is not visible from the road, or accessible without passing the main residence if you wish to tour around our beautiful town and outlying area's. We're less than a ten minute drive from Kmart / Coles / Woolworths, although when you're here you would never know! There is so much to see in and around Toowoomba and the Darling Down's, from coffee shops, mural walks, bike paths through the beautiful parks and much more. We don't accept check in's after dark, so if you are going to be late please contact us with the mobile number provided within 24 hours prior to check in.Hopetoun Hills is a small 107 acre farm on the Great Dividing Range, just South of Toowoomba. It's a lovely tranquil place to relax with water ducks, kangaroos, wallabies and all sorts of birds in abundance, including the wedge tail eagles that come back to nest every year! Our property is only suitable for adults due to the creek, dam, electric fencing, and stock. We do allow dogs, although they must be kept on a lead and/or contained for the courtesy of other guests, as well as we have livestock such as cattle, calves, horses and a donkey who don't take well to dogs if chased. Our sites are mowed or slashed (depending where you wish to camp) and all camping areas are well maintained. We also provide a toilet which is serviced daily. We do allow fires in the fire pits provided, however permission is required. There are many places you may choose to park your caravan, and the spacious room allows privacy if you wish to have early nights/early mornings and not be too close to others. We don't allow big party groups or parties. You can sleep with windows, doors and hatch's open (providing you have gauze) in the tranquil country setting. Your caravan is 1.5 to 2km from the road, and therefore not visible or accessible without passing the homestead, so if you wish to be a tourist for a day or a few days around our beautiful town and outlying area's you can leave your caravan and not have to pack up, and your dog/dogs are safe to be left with your caravan if you don't wish to take them with you. There is plenty to do in Toowoomba and the lovely country surrounding towns are a "must" as is "The Carnival of Flowers". We're less than 10km from Toowoomba, and there are lots of bike paths and country roads to be be explored if you feel like stretching your legs! You will require a 4wd if towing and AWD if bringing a second vehicle.

Peace and quiet! Maryann and Mark are friendly hosts and the site was well maintained and easy to access (for us novice caravaners). We loved seeing the cows each day. There are a number of spots but they are well separated and feel very private.

Amazing hosts and location

18 ft Class A

Mark & Maryann were wonderful hosts and very friendly. The location of the camp was spectacular and just what we needed to unwind from the city. Good telstra coverage to watch the cricket as well. Cows are very friendly and saw some other wildlife like hares and a variety of birds. We will definitely come back.

Great weekender

Mary Ann was very helpful and friendly. It is a lovely property close to Toowoomba. We camped next to the dam. The grass was freshly mowed by Mark. Nice views across the landscape to the hills. Very relaxing.

Maryann and Mark make you so welcome, they are fantastic. We were the only ones there, it was peace and tranquillity. There are cows that roam and enjoy themselves in the dam.We went out one day and came back to find the whole area had been mowed, it looked beautiful. We loved the horses and the donkey. Maryann spoilt us with avacados off their tree and eggs from the hooks. Can't recommend it enough.
