    This camping spot offers a spacious and private setting, perfect for a peaceful escape close to nature and only a short drive from the city. Campers appreciate the well-maintained sites, ample firewood, and the friendly, responsive communication from the host. Although the nearby road and kennel can occasionally be heard, the overall experience remains serene and enjoyable.

    Loved our stay at Gums at Billabong. Great communication with host, very well maintained sites that were well away from other campers and the shelter, bath and fire areas made the stay super easy. Definitely visit again as it is so close to Brisbane.

    Peaceful and tranquil spot. I loved listening to the birds and wandering along the creek bed. Even though the creek was dry, it was still beautiful and really lovely to explore.
