Andrew Drynan Park is situated on Running Creek, 47 km south of Beaudesert and 19 km from Rathdowney on the Lions Road. The drive from Brisbane will take a couple of hours. It has an impressive backdrop formed by Mt Chinghee. Running Creek is a lovely flowing creek which is very inviting in summer and the park offers a great bush camp. Toilets, BBQs, picnic tables and swimming. BYO drinking water. Pets to be restrained. No showers—a dip in the creek will keep you clean but please don’t use soap or detergent. Directions: At Rathdowney, turn left into Running Creek Rd and travel approximately 17km south east. Campers & Day Trippers Rules: The Park is for everyone to enjoy, so please adhere to a few simple guidelines while enjoying this beautiful park. By using this park you agree to the following rules.

Do not burn your rubbish. It must be taken with you!

Anyone who is non-compliant may be directed by park management to leave the park and if so must leave without delay.

Let’s all enjoy the beauty of the natural surroundings.

Incredible spot, easy to find everything and super straight forward to get to. Really enjoyed swimming in the creek and hanging out by the campfire with beautiful views of the mountains to look at. Would recommend!

Andrew Drynan Park
Beautiful location. Well maintained grassy sites. Clean toilets. Very scenic location & the creek across the road was lovely for dogs & humans alike for a refreshing swim . 20 minutes to Rathdowny Pub for lunch. It’s a shame the daytrippers did not respect the rules of take your rubbish home ! They left a terrible mess for the owner to clean up. Highly recommend & will be back🥰
