Boonah brings Swiss Alps charm to the Scenic Rim for caravan campers.
With its quaint wooden buildings and rolling Hinterland backdrop of mountains, lakes, and vineyards, Boonah’s nickname “Switzerland without the snow” is well deserved. Strategically situated along Queensland’s Scenic Rim, an hour’s drive from Brisbane and a 1.5-hour drive from the Gold Coast, this laid-back town makes the ideal pitstop for road-trippers and caravanners. Campers have options: check into the motorhome campground or caravan park in Boonah, park your motorhome at a rural Hipcamp in the surrounding hills, or take your pick of campgrounds along the shores of nearby Lake Moogerah. There’s great hiking and rock climbing at Moogerah Peaks National Park on the north shore. Caravan parks and tourist parks typically provide powered sites and amenities such as a camp kitchen, an on-site dump point, or free wifi. Alternatively, you’ll find basic bush campgrounds suitable for self-sufficient campers at nearby Mount Barney National Park and Main Range National Park.
