Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Springbrook National Park adventure.
Discover mountain lookouts, waterfalls, and ancient caves in the Gondwana Rainforest.
Swathes of ancient rainforest blanket the Springbrook plateau 900 metres above sea level, providing a lush playground for hikers. Explore one of the park’s four sections—Springbrook, Mount Cougal, Natural Bridge, or Numinbah—cool off with a swim in a natural pool, then enjoy a barbecue amid the trees. Climb up to Canyon Lookout for a spectacular view across the rainforest, admire Purling Brook Falls and Twin Falls, or head to the Natural Bridge after dark to see thousands of twinkling glowworms. Settlement Camping Area is the park’s only campground and has grass and gravel pitches for tents, camper trailers, and campervans. There are toilets, drinking water outlets, and barbecues on-site, but no powered sites and no generators allowed.
Hiking and outdoor activities are enjoyable year-round in Springbrook National Park, although morning frosts are common in winter. Summer (December through February) is peak season, and popular trails and natural attractions can get busy. Set out early to dodge the crowds and pack a raincoat—this is also the rainy season. Daytime temperatures can reach 30°C in summer, but the rainforest provides plenty of shade for hikers.
Kirra Beach is a top camping destination, with ample space for tents and caravans. Enjoy the picturesque surroundings, swimming, and fishing in the crystal clear water, and all the essential camping amenities.
