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.

I absolutely loved the Valley Views campsite and it was such a peaceful location. Had the cows and new calves visit me one morning which was extra special. Laura and Neil were very friendly and took me up to the campsite. Unfortunately there were a lot of thunderstorms around each night so left a day earlier than anticipated but intend on coming back when the weather has settled.

Mandy and Alan were very welcoming. They greeted us on arrival, gave us the lay of the land and the rundown on the amenities. About 4ish, Alan came dosn and rounded up the 4 kids and whisked them off into the next yard to feed the alpacas. Unfortunately we got rained out and couldn't stay the planned two nights, but the kids had a ball mucking about in the rain and chasing the frogs about. The amenities are fantastic - best campground shower I've ever had. The kitchen area is well-configured and we found anything we hsd forgotten to pack was probably in there. I'm definitely keen to stay again, hopefully during some cooler and more predictable weather.

WE LOVED IT HERE! We just wanted to get away for the night, turn the phones off, have a fire and gaze at the stars. It was the perfect place. The kids explored the creek and went for a swim. They begged us to bring them back. We really enjoyed the communal area and the donkey. The kids jumped at showing their camping skills, getting the donkey (hot water system) ready for the showers. We will be back for a much longer stay.

Bunya Red Farm was really fantastic! The caper farm tour was very interesting (and delicious) and feeding the alpacas was a highlight. The grounds were so picturesque with farmland views in all directions. We loved the star-filled night sky and serenity of the place. Mandy and Allen were incredible hosts. Would recommend a stay in a heartbeat.

We will definitely return.

We stayed at Camp 1 for the king’s birthday weekend Oct 25 and it was stunning! We enjoyed the beautiful views on the mountain top and the abundance of firewood around the place which could be accessed with the right tools. Naomi was kind enough to coordinate our group booking and keep us together without any extra unknowns on the same site. The longhorns were beautiful to see and there were additional places to visit, driving only 20-40mins away. Great spot although a little windy… but to be expected on top of a mountain. There aren’t many trees on the top so take shade for the warm sunny days!

The best camping in Bunya Mountains National Park, QLD guide

Overview

About

Rainforest-clad peaks shelter the largest stand of ancient bunya pines in the world. Discover cool mountains, rainforests and waterfalls, unique range-top grasslands, panoramic views, colourful birdlife and enthralling stories of times long ago.

Ancient bunya pines give this cool mountain rainforest park its name. Queensland’s Aboriginal people have gathered here for centuries, and its popularity with campers is well deserved. Waterfalls, panoramic views, and rich birdlife are all here, just three hours’ drive northwest of Brisbane on narrow, winding mountain roads. The nearest towns are Kingaroy and Dalby, while Dandabah offers a general store, café, and picnic areas. There are three national park camping grounds, and more than 35 kilometres of walking tracks open the forests to hikers and campers.

Notable campgrounds

  • Best for families: Dandabah has good amenities and space for kids to play.
  • Best for sunrise views: Burton’s Well offers views to the northeast.
  • Best for birdwatchers: Bring binoculars to Westcott Camping Area to spot fairy-wrens and other birds.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. All campsites must be booked in advance, either online or by phone.
  2. Book at least three months in advance if you can, or up to 12 months in advance for Australian school holiday times.

When to go

The annual Bunya Dreaming Festival, run by local Aboriginal people, is held on January 26. Mountain temperatures are generally 7-10 degrees (Celsius) cooler than those on the coast, with winters dropping to freezing point. Always pack warm clothing, even in summer. In winter, expect mist, heavy fog, and rain. Between December and March, giant bunya nuts—weighing up to 10 kilograms—can fall from the Bunya pines, so avoid standing or parking under them during this time.

Know before you go

  • Camping permits are required in Bunya Mountains National Park. Apply online or by phone.
  • Apply insect repellent liberally to deter ticks, which can cause serious illness.
  • Mobile phone reception is poor in most camping areas.
  • All campgrounds have wheelchair-accessible toilets.
  • Boil or treat all water before drinking.

Beautiful, but watch out for GimpyGimpy
Great place for walks, but watch out for the mighty Gimpy-Gimpy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendrocnide_moroides, a very unpleasant experience for get in contact with. It was a learning experience for the whole family, unfortunately they are everywhere, as well on the designated footpath. My worries would be with small children, but saw adults getting in contact , like me and other that were not aware. The Forrest themselves are beautiful.
