Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Tamborine National Park adventure.
Escape to the Gold Coast hinterlands to find mountain views, rainforest hikes, and waterfalls.
In the Gold Coast hinterlands, the forested plateau of Tamborine Mountain provides plenty of ways to get outdoors. Hike short trails through leafy woodlands and towering gum forests, cool off with a dip in the Cedar Creek Rock Pools, or trek to Witches Falls. Mountain viewpoints are found throughout the park, so pack a picnic to enjoy at one of the scenic picnic areas along the way, and keep a lookout for wildlife, including Australian brush-turkeys and Albert’s lyrebird. Camping isn’t permitted in the national park, but campers can stay in nearby Canungra or along the Gold Coast.
With warm temperatures year-round, hiking and outdoor activities are possible at any time in Tamborine National Park. In the summer, the hinterlands offer a welcome respite from the coastal heat, with average daytime temperatures around 25°C. However, showers are common from December through April, so pack a raincoat. The park is always open, but there is no access to the Cedar Creek section at night.
