Unplug and unwind at our 22 acre camping paradise nestled amongst the rolling green hills of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Listen to the babbling water sounds of Scrubby Creek and the Mary River that meandering through the perimeter of the property for over 1 kilometer. Stroll through our little rainforest, paddle in the creek or have a dip in one of the many rock pools. We will even let you build as many rock towers as you like! Throw an inner tube in the creek and float around while the kids laugh and play all day long. Let the kids dig holes or fossick for the perfect skimming rocks, ride bikes or play endless games on the beautiful landscaped grass. Plenty of trees to put up that hammock or grab a soak in our outdoor bath with views overlooking the wilderness. Sit back and gaze at the starlit skies while the kids roast yet another marshmallow on the campfire. Snuggle up during winter and cool down around the rainforest in summer. Abundant wildlife, lots of kangaroos and wallabies, koalas and beautiful birds everywhere. Please be aware that weekends are family times and do get busy with extra people. During the week it is very quiet and you could have the whole place to yourself. Sites are allocated on weekends based on numbers and if you are camping with children and dogs. We have 15 large flat grassy sites nestled amongst trees. Campsites are far enough away from other campers to enjoy the privacy. Each site is large and can allow group bookings. Loads of space for tents, camper trailers, caravans or motorhomes. Pets permitted but must be restrained.

The best camping near Bellthorpe National Park guide

Overview

About

Bellthorpe National Park invites adventurers to explore its rugged terrain, featuring open eucalypt forests, rainforests, and cascading creeks. Venture along scenic trails on foot, horseback, or mountain bike, and marvel at the park's rich biodiversity. While camping is not available within Bellthorpe, nearby parks offer ample opportunities for forest and coastal camping.

When to go

The best time to visit Bellthorpe National Park is during the drier months, from April to September, when the tracks are more accessible and the weather is milder. The wet season, from December to March, can see heavy rainfall, making some areas of the park less accessible due to road closures and flooding.

  • Check park alerts for current warnings or closures before your visit, especially during wet weather.
  • Ensure you're prepared for rugged conditions; wear suitable shoes and carry sufficient drinking water.
  • Remember, domestic animals are not permitted in the park to protect the native wildlife.
