Angela was very welcoming from the moment we arrived. The camping area was tidy and had amazing views in all directions. A wander around the nursery is a must, beautiful plants and quirky ways of displaying them, I loved it. We had a wonderful stay and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Mundubbera area. Thank you Angela…

Range Station was a little gem - very relaxing with amazing views all around. We had the place to ourselves, but there was plenty of room to spread out. It was dry with a total fire ban when we were there, but at other times it would be a sea of green, rolling hills with fire pits, a port-a-loo and a delightful nursery / garden to explore. It’s off the beaten track so it feels like being a million miles away - perfect!

Absolutely magic spot on a beautiful part of the Burnett River. Amazing sunrise in one direction and spectacular sunset in the other. This section of river is so perfect for kayaking. The river is teaming with lung fish, birdlife, fish and we even saw platypus right at our campsite. The waterfalls downstream were a lovely surprise. Our campsite was absolute river front and bliss. We awoke to birdsong in the mornings and the nights were peaceful. 10/10

Lovely flat grassy area. Bonus for us was it was fully fenced so the dog could be off leash. Just a Portaloo but that was fine. Easy to find and gravel road no problem. Ange very friendly and lovely to chat to. Well worth a visit.

Large open spaces for our two Border Collies to run and also swim in the creek. Plenty of fire wood to collect. Quiet and private camping. Had long walks to other sites and found the Deluxe site was the best. Long strolls around the site and saw amenities that were set up for a musical festival earlier in the year. Great for a break from the hassle of city life. Limited phone reception.

Absolutely loved the landscape and camping area, a cute nersury right next to the camping grounds. Angela is a very lovely lady who made sure we had enough firewood and checking up on us when needed. Nice and secluded, perfect to get away from the city to lots of farm land all around and traditional living.

The best camping in Auburn River National Park, QLD guide

Overview

About

Auburn River National Park invites adventurers to explore its stunning gorge, cascading waterfalls, and serene rock pools. Amid the massive salmon-coloured granite boulders, visitors can embark on bushwalks, witness diverse wildlife, and enjoy the tranquillity of the river's riparian zones. For those looking to extend their stay, the park offers a basic camping area, perfect for a night under the stars.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book your campsite online well in advance to secure your spot amid the natural splendour of Auburn River National Park.
  • Consider visiting during the off-peak season for better availability and a more intimate connection with nature.
  • Keep an eye on park alerts for any last-minute openings due to cancellations.
  • Explore nearby camping options if the park's campground is fully booked.

When to go

The best time to visit Auburn River National Park is during the cooler months, from April to September, when the weather is more conducive to hiking and exploring. The wet season, typically from December to March, can make access roads treacherous and some areas of the park may be closed due to flooding.

Know before you go

  • Check the condition of access roads to Auburn River National Park, especially after wet weather, as 4WD may be recommended.
  • Be prepared for bushwalking with sufficient water, a first-aid kit, and sturdy footwear.
  • Stay safe by keeping to the walking tracks and supervising children near cliff edges and the river.
  • Bring all necessary supplies, including drinking water and a fuel or gas stove for cooking, as facilities are limited.
  • Mobile phone coverage is not reliable in the park, so plan accordingly and inform someone of your bushwalking plans.
