Both
places are ok with the
Heifer Creek one a bit nicer in my opinion but
Lake Dyer is a lot closer to Gatton College if that matters.
Cheers,

Another very quite park is Glen
Rock about 60 k south of Gatton through East Haldon. only has 9 sites but each is very large, facilities include showers &
toilets (composting). Very dry recently so no water in the creek. You need to book on linr on Qld Parks
