This pretty spot features Silky Oaks and Ironwood trees, views to Luke's Bluff and Ding Bing falls in Lamington National Park, has plenty of shade for tents and a huge space for caravans and camper trailers to turn around in Family groups love the site for the babbling but shallow child friendly Stockyard Creek - perfect for paddling and playing in. The Kingfisher and Platypus Campsites have larger waterholes than the Stockyard Creek Campsite and you are able to wander the 2km of river frontage while fishing. They have easy access off the main Kerry Road. Friends love our campsites for catch ups, the bird watching, small historical or nature walks around the property and of course the cool waterholes in the Albert River. Other groups use Kerry Valley Secret as a base camp for hiking adventures in the wilderness end of Lamington National Park. Bring your togs and floaties to cool down in the waterhole on the Albert River. Don't forget the marshmallows to roast on the fire at night (firewood provided). Binoculars and boots are a must for bird watching and exploring our walking tracks through the forest. All campsites have basic toilet facilities (a portaloo) and firepit (with a free bag of kindling provided). Stockyard Creek Campsite also includes a picnic table. Exclusivity is a feature of all our campsite and for that reason we only take a flat rate booking. Once you have booked no one else will be able to camp at the site, it is all yours.

Multiple natural springs exist on the property and a few small spring-fed waterholes are scattered down the cascading hills. Friendly ducks, geese, fish, horses and an abundance of native wildlife live here. This location is home to several endangered species due to being one of the last isolated pockets of rainforest in the area. Sites are part of The Bush Clinic where we specialise in designing and making natural creams, soaps, teas, dodorants and other products as well as running regular Meditation courses and topics such as Energy, Frequency, Grounding and Advanced Organic Growth techniques for those wanting to join in are formally available during your stay. We are new to HipCamp so have limited facilities at present, but they are in progress and we have loads of space per site, comfortable, and lots to offer for those wanting to reconnect with Nature. If you know what ley-lines are - this is the right place to visit ;-) PS if you are towing a van or camper pls remember to engage 4wd at the front gravel gate (low range 2nd is best). This helps avoid chewing the road up...

Weekend Trip to Albert River Hideaway
My wife and I enjoyed our time at the Albert rover hideaway. The host, Jasmine was very easy to deal with and was only too happy to make sure our stay was a good one. The spot is right next to the river which has a rope swing and a deep area to fully enjoy the swim. Otherwise sit back and enjoy the view of the country side and take it all in.

Weekend Trip to Stonesthrow
We had an absolutely awesome time here! We recently bought a new rooftop tent and were keen to take the kids out for a night away and test the new setup somewhere reasonably close to home. We were just blown away by how attentive and wonderful the hosts are, their beautiful property and we spent a lot for time with the three doggies who made the trip incredible for our boys (6 and 8) – and frisbee with their three dogs was a highlight! We will definitely be back again to see more of the property (unfortunately we were only here for 1 night and a storm came through so we packed up and ran away in the morning with our tails between our legs!) but if you're looking for awesome hosts, and a beautiful and peaceful property then this one's for you! Thanks so much Richard and Steve!

The best camping in Lamington National Park, QLD guide

Overview

About

As one of the last few extensive areas of subtropical rainforest in the world, Lamington National Park is a biodiversity hot spot and a jewel in the crown of Queensland’s rainforest bushwalking destinations. The Gondwana-era rainforest straddles the New South Wales and Queensland border and is a two-hour drive from Brisbane. With 150 kilometres of well-maintained walking trails and more than 460 species of mammals and subtropical birds, this is a fantastic place to enjoy fresh mountain air. Camping opportunities are a mix of tent campsites, campervan sites, and glamping tents, with remote walk-in bush camping available for the adventurous.

Recommend the Larapinta Falls walk - a fun adventure through the rainforest, clambering over fallen trees and rock-hopping. Really beautiful, untouched forest.

We had such a great time at the camping. The dogs loved running around off-leash (while we kept an eye out to make sure there were no cows nearby). We also swam in the little river and went hiking around the area. It was a super fun and relaxing experience in nature.

Westray's Grave Hike
Did the hike from Christmas Creek to Westray's grave, along the rough bush track beside the creek, starting with a log crossing over the creek. Some interesting history on display at the grave site. Managed a cold swim in the creek with our lunch. About 8.1 km and 4 hours return to the carpark, which is 500 m before the trailhead.

Get your walking shoes on!
Lots of tremendous walks of varying lengths but most are 6km plus, being a mountainous region good experience and fitness recommended. But worth the trip out even for some of the shorter walks, spectacular landscape, forests and scenery.

Beautiful Ranch
Our stay here at Oz Sky Ranch for fantastic. Not only is the ranch and land beautiful but Lisa is amazing and so kind. She had to move our original booking site because of rain but allowed us to pick anywhere we liked as a replacement and even said we could go back to our original site once the land cleared and dried. She was always helpful and friendly and we loved our stay here. We are definitely staying again!
