Weekend Trip to Rocky Creek Homestead
Directions and communication were clear. Price was good. Surrounds were beautiful. Fire pits for each site and options on where to camp within each site were good too. It was peaceful. Pretty. Inviting. I would stay here again for sure! The goat curry was so yumm and good help when I made enquiries about my food intolerances. I got to camp in a thunderstorm and the place was even more beautiful the morning after. There was one goat who was very friendly and I enjoyed watching the shaggy cows stand in the creek and the kids chase each other up the banks. This was a very good experience

Such a lovely peaceful place to stay for a couple of nights. Loved the outdoor bath to cool down in with a cold beer in the afternoon! The creek was a bit high and muddy due to the rain when we first got there so didn’t swim but loved how the hosts had set up chairs and swing seats for those hot summer days of swimming.

We had an amazing 3 nights. We were lucky to see a koala on the day of our arrival which was right next to our camp site. We had frequent visits from the 2 horses, kangaroos and multiple species of bird life. It was so relaxing, we didn’t want to leave. We also caught plenty of blue claw which were yummy. We would highly recommend this stay. It was also close to town if the need to purchase anything you had forgotten to bring, but still have the feel you were remote.

Had a relaxing few nights stay with my dogs at Coominya Farm Stay. The dogs enjoyed swimming in the dam and host Lynn was lovely to communicate with and even nicer in person. The amenities were spotless. Although I didn’t need to use the camp kitchen, it was a large, well thought out space and very clean. Overall a great value Hipcamp with the access to hot showers, toilets and camp kitchen all included.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this campsite we found through Hipcamp. The spot was incredible, right in the middle of nature, peaceful and private, with that great feeling of being completely on our own. It was exactly what we were looking for to switch off and recharge. The hosts were genuinely lovely, friendly, welcoming and always happy to help. They also sell firewood on-site, which we really appreciated, and it’s a great way to support them, so definitely grab some if you can. Thanks to that, we were able to enjoy a proper campfire under the stars. The campsite was clean, well looked after, and everything was set up so that campers feel comfortable and relaxed. We honestly felt more like guests than customers. In short, it’s the perfect place if you’re after peace, nature, and warm hospitality. Highly recommend !!! we’d love to come back!

My wife and I had a fantastic 2 night stay in our caravan at Savvy Farmstay. Ben and his family were wonderful hosts and so helpful as we were unfamiliar with the local area. Was a relaxing farm to stay at seeing lots of young piglets and lambs in their pens. Small baby chickens roaming around free. Walking the bush trails around the dam and creek were fun. Thank you Ben, Jess and children.

The best camping in The Palms National Park, QLD guide

Overview

About

Nestled in Southern Queensland Country, The Palms National Park invites you to immerse yourself in a tranquil enclave of piccabeen palms and diverse wildlife. Venture along the short circuit track, where the rainforest whispers secrets of ancient times, and the local fauna playfully engages visitors in a natural symphony. Although camping is not available within the park, the allure of a bush picnic or a leisurely walk through the rainforest beckons.

When to go

The best time to visit The Palms National Park is during the cooler months, from April to September, when the climate is mild and the risk of storms is lower. Summer brings warmer temperatures and the chance of rain, making it less ideal for those looking to explore the park's walking tracks and picnic areas.

Know before you go

  • Check local road conditions with the Department of Transport and Main Roads before your visit.
  • Facilities at The Palms are not wheelchair accessible, so plan accordingly.
  • Bring essentials like a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, and drinking water.
  • Domestic animals are not permitted, ensuring the protection of native wildlife.
  • Mobile phone coverage is unreliable, so prepare to be out of service during your visit.
