Bindarah Downs Bush Camp

We loved this site! Well maintained, great layout with camper numbers capped low, so you get a space by the creek all to yourself. Shayne and Kim were super welcoming and communicative. We will definitely be back!

Very private, tranquil property. Perfect place to get away and relax, also great location for local hiking trails.

Second time camping at Bindarah Downs, and it never disappoints! It really is a lovely spot not far from Brisbane city. Shayne and Kim are also great and friendly hosts. Highly recommend camp spot

Bindarah Downs Bush Camp

Hidden Gem!

Beautiful location, friendly & welcoming Hosts, Easy access & good directions. Although the water in the creek was too cold to swim in it was beautiful to hear in the background. Your neighbours (fellow campers) are pretty close but couldn’t hear conversations etc. Remember to pack some bug spray or repellent, especially if it’s raining. The availability of firewood to purchase is an added bonus!

Bindarah Downs Bush Camp

Bindarah Downs campground offers grassy areas, a winding creek, easy accessibility, and shady areas. It has well-maintained open fire pits, creating a cozy ambiance. Shayne is an excellent host with plenty of local knowledge and provided assistance from before our booking, right through to the meet and greet on the day. The campground has creek access but lacks privacy due to more campsites over a smaller area than we assumed, and the close proximity to the highway. Despite these issues, the campground allows early check-in and late check-out, making it a suitable option for any length of stay. Would recommend!
