7.5km from Toonumbar State Conservation Area · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
Amaroo also known to some long time visitors as Snake Valley, is situated on a massive property and backs onto the Toonumbar National park.
The property sits at the top of a 2.7km dirt road to the top of a small mountain with incredible views of Mount Lindsay and Mount Barney. The owner (my dad) has spent over 30 years bringing the land back from blade glass to the early stages of rainforest through native seed propagation and bush regeneration.
After decades of keeping the land free from domestic and commercial animals, the native wildlife has had come back in abundance and is thriving.
Depending on the time of year you could see any number of wallabies, goannas, and echidnas, to countless varieties of birds and butterflies, small marsupials, koalas, micro bats, snakes, and even a few lone dingoes have been spotted from a distance during duck breeding season. Therefore we don’t allow dogs or cats to be brought onto the property.
Pitch your tent, or pull up your situation either on level gravel or in a grassy zone however close or far from the communal zone as you wish. The communal zone is made up of a shack with a kitchen sink and a BBQ (BYO BBQ gas or you will need to request as an extra), there is tank water and lights all running off solar, a big long bench table and stools for preparing food, underneath the pagola of this open shack is an indoor fireplace. 50m from the shack connected by gravel paths and garden beds is the hot gas shower and composting toilet, each in their own enclosed dwellings with lights. From the shack and where you camp you will have the best views of the mountains. You will be 100m-ish from the top main dam where you can swim (we just ask that you don’t remove the fish, yabbies or turtles from their homes). The level below the shack is the main house where the property owner lives, and the level below that is the motocross tracks. There are walking and bike paths down to the motocross tracks that avoid going past the main house, if you are riding or just want to go for a walk.
PLS NOTE you may be around other people during your stay at Amaroo. There is a small community of motorcross riders that access the private tracks and sometimes camp. If you wish to have the campsite to yourself please msg us before booking to make sure it will be exclusive. Most of the time this property is peaceful and filled with noises of birds and tree breeze, but there are occasions where the tracks will be in use. Motorbikes can get noisy!

We have grassed valleys and forested hills, which provide the perfect setting for bush walking, bird watching, star gazing, or just relaxing. All of our camp sites are well separated from each other. If it's total seclusion and privacy you're after, "Fig Tree" and "Ridge Top" would be perfect for you. While "The Old Hut", and "Washout" are closer to the road, they are not visable to each other. Our newest addition., "The Reserve" is tucked away on the banks of a special shady grassed area with lots of room to spread out.
Guests staying with us must have their own toilet/shower facilities and take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. The sites are accessible for 4WD only.

possums, echidnas, goannas, bandicoots, dingos, and koalas as well as a large variety of birds. Also a variety of frogs i.e.. Red/orange eyed tree frog, desert tree frog, white lipped tree frog, striped and spotted marsh frogs, striped rocket frog and stoney creek frogs. ( see how many different calls you can hear)
This beautiful 200acre property in Camp Creek is part of the original
"selection" by William Dimmock in 1895. It was a dairy farm, and at one stage the family grew market garden crops on a plateau high up the mountain, using a flyingfox to bring the crops down.
Originally the property took in "Screw Gully" from Glenapp up to Tartar Creek Rd. In the 60's Jim Dimmick (grandson to William) sold out and the land was sub-divided. The property now supports up to 40 head of breeding cattle and 2 retired horses.
Scenic Rim hosts local wineries; restaurants and coffee shops, and Mt Tamborine, all within an hour drive. Only a 1.5 hour drive to the Gold Coast.

We had a wonderful stay at Bindarah Downs! The creekside site was spacious, providing ample room for our group to relax and enjoy. The creek was flowing and added a beautiful touch to the surroundings, though it had receded since our last visit and wasn’t quite deep enough for swimming this time. The hosts were warm, welcoming, and always helpful.

Highly recommend Bindarah Downs Bush camp. Shayne is a very welcoming host, the camping area is so well maintained. ( I believe we have Kim to thank for the well mown grass🙂). We stayed down by the running creek, under the shade of the trees & had a lovely walk around the property.

Weekend Trip to Mt Barney Lodge
Amazing lodge, had the whole campsite to ourselves due to bad weather. It was perfect for us to have a cozy fire and go for a hike which started just down the road. Can’t wait to come back 5/5

Group trip
My group and i loved camping here, its spacious, great views, and the owners are really nice. They had a dog who would play and hang out with us for hours everyday, and was not aggressive at all. They sell firewood and ice for a fair price and the amenities block (which had clean showers with hot water) isnt far from any of the campsites. They also had free drinking water at the campsites. Upon arrival the owners showed us some hiking trails, gave us some useful tips and a map for each of them as well as access to their free wifi. They also encouraged us to walk around and explore the area. Overall, it was a great spot to go to, we will be back here one day, i highly recommend.

Nice quiet spot with a creek to lie in and a beautiful valley to gaze at. We lucked out out and were the only ones there. Duncan was a great host and even though we didn't get to meet his comprehensive instructions were useful and accurate.

Thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay. Lovely hosts, and facilities are great. We visited as a group of 2 motorhomes and a caravan and stayed on the Platypus powered sites. Well cared for property and we enjoyed cooling off in Grady’s Creek which is flowing.

Beautiful open area, with a mixture of shade for tents and seating and full sun for solar panels. Both within the vicinity of your space. Scenery was amazing and while being only a stones throw to the creek. The sound of the running water while enjoying the unobstructed view of the night sky was bliss. Would definitely go back and stay longer next time

Loved it all, hosts are incredible.
Three dislikes but were people dependant.
1. Loud music (stopped before cut off time though).
2. Torches to and from toilet block into our camp
3. People slack at picking up doggy dooo
Creeks are lovely. Flowing. Deep enough.
Can get flat spots. Great to disconnect, only phone service with Telstra.

Beautiful well kept grounds. The creek has lots of nice spots to set up for the day. The groundskeeper was super friendly and even helped us with our flat tyre before leaving. Lovely family friendly space with lots of room for kids to run and play. Would definitely recommend and return to this spot.

We loved camping at Bindarah Downs. A beautiful spot that is well maintained with a creek close by. A few of the horses came right up to the fence which was a few meters from our camp site. If you are planning on staying here, be sure to bring a bag of carrots and a box of weet-bix which the host said the horses love to eat. Shayne was a wonderful host, very welcoming and shares a lot of information about the animals and surrounding area. Bindarah Downs is a new favourite camping spot for us and we will definitely be back!
