Anduramba Bush Camping

2 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents320 acres · Anduramba, QLD
Anduramba Bush Camping is situated on a 320 acre property south of Blackbutt. The campsite is on top of a hill with 360 degree views. It's rough and remote with limited facilities, so it's not for everyone. Most people who stay usually fall into one of 2 categories - - 4WD'ers or adventure bike riders who would rather camp overnight in the bush instead of at a caravan park or pub - People who just want a weekend away in the bush with some mates, chilling round a fire with a few drinks If either of those sound like you, I think you'll love it here! There's 2 options to choose from - you can book the campsite only, or the cabin which is located at the same spot. Property features - - Great views - Dogs welcome (just don't let them wander) - Portaloo (flushing) + drop toilet (non flushing) - Shower hut (uses shower bags) - Water available 500m away - Firewood available - Good phone reception (Telstra) - 2WD accessible via Esk or Crow's Nest, 4WD recommended from Blackbutt - I only accept one group at a time, so you'll have the place to yourself The cabin has 12V lighting and a bunk bed with mattresses (double bottom, single top), you'll need to bring your own bedding. A few other notes - - be aware you'll have to drive on gravel roads for quite a distance. 2WD vehicles can get here, but a 4WD is preferable - This is not a 4WD park or a ride park. Vehicles are to be used only on the track to the campsite. - Bring all your usual camping equipment, and if you want to use the shower room please bring a shower bag with you Any questions, just send us a message. Hope to see you soon!

The best camping near The Palms National Park guide

Overview

About

Nestled in Southern Queensland Country, The Palms National Park invites you to immerse yourself in a tranquil enclave of piccabeen palms and diverse wildlife. Venture along the short circuit track, where the rainforest whispers secrets of ancient times, and the local fauna playfully engages visitors in a natural symphony. Although camping is not available within the park, the allure of a bush picnic or a leisurely walk through the rainforest beckons.

When to go

The best time to visit The Palms National Park is during the cooler months, from April to September, when the climate is mild and the risk of storms is lower. Summer brings warmer temperatures and the chance of rain, making it less ideal for those looking to explore the park's walking tracks and picnic areas.

Know before you go

  • Check local road conditions with the Department of Transport and Main Roads before your visit.
  • Facilities at The Palms are not wheelchair accessible, so plan accordingly.
  • Bring essentials like a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, and drinking water.
  • Domestic animals are not permitted, ensuring the protection of native wildlife.
  • Mobile phone coverage is unreliable, so prepare to be out of service during your visit.
