The best camping near Nanango

The southeastern Queensland town of Nanango is a couple of hours’ drive inland from both the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane, making it a convenient stop on road trips through Queensland that skirt the coast or avoid the larger cities. At a slight altitude (355 metres), Nanango has cooler summers than lower-lying coastal and outback areas, and colder winters. Surrounded by farmland that’s used for livestock as well as vineyards and eucalypt forests, Nanango offers a rural retreat for campers with both free-camping spots and holiday parks, plus access to national parks, state parks, and forest reserves with some special tree species within a couple of hours’ drive.

WHO WE SUIT Fully self-contained, 4wd and off-grid campers only. Caravans, camper trailers, tents - all welcome. You will need your own water, camp toilet and to take all rubbish with you - leave no trace. Dump points for toilet and rubbish are located in Maidenwell. You absolutely need a camp toilet to stay with us, we do not tolerate toilet paper being left in our paddocks where it's a safety risk to us and a choking hazard for our ponies, cattle/calves. Oh and you must love cattle, because you'll see them plenty!! We keep things as close to mother nature as possible, we're not a tourist/caravan park on purpose and that's why our guests choose us! It's back to basics at its finest. Camping here was how we first fell in love with the beauty of our property and the sole reason we opened the opportunity to share it with a handful of others. Private campsites - Only 3 campsites/groups on the entire property ensures a very private bush camping experience. All 3 sites are set well apart from each other. - Lower Valley View - Creekside 'The Glen' - The Hill Please read full descriptions of the 3 individual camp sites before booking as they all offer differing vehicle access requirements and views/settings. You'll also need to read directional messages as they come through post-booking as there is no on-farm signage or lighting by design. VEHICLE ACCESS All sites are 4WD and off-road caravan access only (not suitable for 'soft' 4wd's). Please do not book THE HILL campsite unless you are an experienced and competent offroad 4WDér, especially if you're towing a caravan. LOWER VALLEY VIEW requires the least amount of 4WD experience to access. CREEKSIDE also requires off-road experience to access if towing a caravan or camper. Please note our original hipcamp and only all-wheel-drive site, Main Camp, is now permanently unavailable due private use. FIRES Stone Fire pits are available on all sites. Please practice safe fire management (we are currently in a drought-declared area after significantly lower rainfall this year). Firewood can be pre-ordered with notice as an extra add-on via the hip-camp app (no BYO firewood due biosecurity risk). No bonfires or unattended fires. No burning of rubbish in firepits and fires must be completely out upon departure. During hot, dry weather (upcoming 26/27 Summer) we may enforce a fire ban on our property (often at short notice) if we deem necessary for the safety of our livestock, please check with us first if a fire is a non-negotiable for you. ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE We offer an earlier check-in time than most so you can make the most of your stay. Check-in time; 11am onwards Check-out time; by 10am Late night check-ins aren't recommended to ensure the comfort of other campers already onsite and because it can be tricky to navigate the property in the dark. IMPORTANT NOTES You MUST have a self-contained toilet. NO BUSH TOILETS! We wouldn't go to the toilet in your backyard, so don't go in ours! Upon inspection, if you do not have a self-contained toilet you will be asked to leave the property immediately and no refund will be given. We're a working cattle farm first and foremost, you'll see us out and about if we have cattle work or jobs to do. Disclaimer - The images shown in our listings show our property at various times of the year, what you get at the time of your trip will be totally dependant on mother nature.

Applewood Farm is a peaceful, isolated retreat located in a secluded valley near Kilcoy Queensland. Set on 40 acres of picturesque farmland, it offers a tranquil escape for those looking to immerse themselves in nature and enjoy a classic country experience. The property is nestled within a valley surrounded by majestic mountain views and rolling grasslands. A key highlight is the 1km of permanent shallow running creek, that has nature springs, so even when dry there is still some water in the creek. There are a few spots where the water runs over rocks, and a deeper rock pool. The farm has cattle, horses, and wild deer, and farm goats running free adding to its rustic charm. The farm goats that are usually free range are yarded whilst campers are here. So they will not disturb you. • Seclusion: Tranquility: Perfect for campers seeking a quiet getaway away from the crowds. There is NO internet or phone service. • Natural Beauty: The site is dotted with pine trees and offers expansive views of the surrounding ranges. • Water Access: The running creek and water holes provide a serene backdrop and opportunities for cooling off or relaxing by the water’s edge. During the dry the creek still has some spots as there’s natural springs but may be low in some places. The creek only has guppies so there are no big fish and no fishing available. • Access: The farm is reached via a well-maintained dirt road, making it accessible for most vehicles while maintaining its remote feel. Site Types: The property offers designated sites suitable for both RVs and tents. All sites are private. This is a primitive camping destination. There are no toilets, potable water, or electrical hookups on-site. Guests must be fully self-contained. Generators are NOT allowed. Campfires are permitted (subject to local fire bans), allowing for traditional evenings under the starry Queensland sky. There’s plenty of firewood which you need to collect yourself. • Pets: this property is pet-friendly, happy to have dogs off leash to enjoy their camping experience, unless your dogs chase the livestock or wildlife, then they need to be confined. Campers are required to bring everything they need, including water, and must take all rubbish with them to keep the valley pristine. Pro-Tip: Given the 40-acre expanse and the secluded nature of the valley, this is an exceptional spot to totally get away from the hustle and bustle, it’s isolated and peaceful. So now unfortunately I’m going to get down to the nitty gritty due to people breaking the rules. Please read the rules before attending. I’m extremely private so under no circumstances are you to be around my house, or horse yard area, under any circumstances. Do not walk past anywhere near my house. Do not approach or hang over my fence looking in, and definitely do not enter my house yard, as I have guard dogs. Absolutely no drones! Absolutely No patting, encouraging and especially feeding horses. Do not approach horses in the paddock, do not walk or ride bicycles anywhere near the horses. I tell everyone this, but still people can’t help themselves to break these rules. It has taken me a long time to stop horses walking into camp and unfortunately one hipcamper undoes all of my efforts. The creek is my boundary so no crossing it, as this is trespassing into my neighbours property. There is no wifi or phone service. You are coming to an isolated tranquil property away from it for a reason. Let me know approx eta when booking.

Weekend Trip to Maple Acres

Craig and Bec were friendly and helpful hosts. We loved all the birds, the macadamia we were allowed to collect and the freshly laid eggs were a real treat. Their dog is so well trained and the tips for finding a great water hole was a highlight. Many thanks 😁

Super private, the horses were very friendly, great big oval but also heaps of tree-covered shade. Not too far from Kingaroy.

The camp site was ideal for us over the long weekend. 3 x 22 ft caravans. A little tight getting in but take it slow and you’ll be fine. Would camp here again. Thanks.

Weekend Trip to Jimna Base Camp, Jimna

We spent a night at Jimna base camp and it was terrific. The facilities are very well kept, the cafe was great, Pete was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. There is lots to see and do fairly close by. The camping is spacious and no check out time meant we didn't have to rush out in the morning.

Weekend Trip to Jimna Base Camp, Jimna

Great place, relaxed, plenty of space, great facilities close by. Most spots on the oval get shade in the morning or afternoon, so it would be hard to get a bad spot. Cricket pitch between all the sites means some epic games in the afternoon. Pete is a friendly host always happy to help out or give you advice on the area. We’ll be back for sure.

Fantastic stay at Maple Acres. Very welcoming by hosts Craig, Bec and pup Elsie. They couldn’t be more proud of their property and the progress in their garden. Private area to camp with plenty of room and lovely outlook. Great guidance into the property and the site. Nice Chimney fire and kindling and wood provided for enjoying the evening. Enjoyed looking around the orchard and garden and fresh eggs for breakfast. Thanks for sharing your story, definitely recommend this one. Cheers Noelle&Seb xx

Very relaxing peaceful location. Fairly dry at the moment due to recent lack of rain but that did not detract from the scenery. The curious ponies were a nice addition. Make sure you bring carrots 😄

Nanango camping guide

Where to go

The Palms National Park

South of Nanango, this small national park is a rainforest haven for birds, frogs, bats, and other wildlife, and provides a beautiful, lush environment of Piccabeen palms and Moreton Bay fig trees for visitors to stroll amid. While camping isn’t permitted in the small park, accommodation and camping options can be found in nearby Cooyar and Yarraman. There are day-use and picnic areas within The Palms National Park.

Maidenwell

South of Nanango is the very small town of Maidenwell, which provides access to the wetlands of Tarong National Park and lovely Coomba Falls, a waterfall with a clear and refreshing swimming hole. It’s a popular place to swim when the weather’s hot, but there’s a steep climb down to the falls. Campers in the Nanango area can visit Maidenwell and Coomba Falls on a day trip or camp at the sports ground or rest area in the village.

Bunya Mountains National Park

About an hour’s drive southwest of Nanango, the small Bunya Mountains National Park is notable for having the largest stand of ancient bunya pine trees in the world. These are especially significant to the local First Nations people. The park houses three grassy and well-developed camping areas that are suitable for tents, caravans, and camper trailers. The campsites are equipped with toilets, showers, barbecues, and picnic tables.

When to go

Nanango is surrounded by the mountains of southern Queensland, which generally has a subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and mild winters. However, its slight altitude (355 metres) and proximity to the mountains takes the edge off the heat, making this a comfortable region to visit in summer, and year-round. In summer there’s an increased risk from both wildfires and floods in the region, so check local conditions before travelling.
