Overview
Roughly 45 minutes north of the Sunshine Coast, Boreen Point sits on the shores of Lake Cootharaba. Pitch the tent or park the motorhome at a caravan park in town that offers convenient amenities, like powered sites, laundry facilities, and camp kitchens. Then visit the natural splendour of Great Sandy National Park, Amamoor State Forest, and Brooyar State Forest, which also offer camping options and outdoor activities for all ages. From swimming to sand dunes, rainforest walks, and rock climbing cliffs, Boreen Point is a thrill-seeker's gateway to adventure.
Where to go
Great Sandy National Park
A 20-minute drive from Boreen Point brings campers to Great Sandy National Park. It’s broken up into two sections. The World Heritage-listed K’gari is in the north (also known as Fraser Island) and the Cooloola Recreation Area is in the south, attached to the mainland. Climb huge sand dunes, visit white silica sand beaches, dive into the crystal clear waters of Lake Mackenzie, or venture into the Noosa Everglades to experience a diverse range of wildlife. Drop the kayak or canoe into the water to discover rustic lakeside bush camping options or get pampered with flush toilets, hot showers, and BBQ facilities at site-designated campgrounds for tents, trailers, and caravans.
Amamoor State Forest
Campers can stretch their legs on the many walking trail options in Amamoor State Forest, roughly 45 minutes from Boreen Point. Walk the Fig Tree Circuit that weaves through macadamia nut trees, capture snapshots of a waterfall, and scoop up yabbies from Amamoor Creek. Swags, travel trailers, and caravans are welcome in on-site campgrounds equipped with fire rings and flush toilets. Keep an eye on the tree canopy while settling in, as it’s a popular spot for birds to perch. Remember to bring wood for campfires, as the forest is off-limits for scavenging.
Brooyar State Forest
Enjoy pet-friendly camping in Brooyar State Forest, roughly an hour from Boreen Point. Campsites here are suitable for small tents to large motorhomes. Amenities like picnic tables, compost toilets, non-potable water, and fire rings offer more convenience. Wake up and take a scenic drive through the woods and make a pit stop at the sandstone cliffs of Point Pure Lookout. Catch views of the hoop pine plantations and eucalyptus forest below. Rock climbers can challenge themselves at Eagles Nest abseiling site, while hikers head to Glastonbury Creek to spot local critters like platypus, turtles, and fish.
When to go
Boreen Point sees slightly more rain than surrounding areas, even in drier months, so bring gumboots to roam around comfortably. Summer sees hotter temperatures as well as stormy skies throughout February. All that moisture produces tons of fresh flowers that decorate the trees in Brooyar State Forest. December is the sunniest month, making it a top choice for outdoor activities like picnicking and hiking. The cooler temperatures and semi-dry skies in June, July, and August are great times for rock climbers to scale cliffs without breaking a sweat.
