non-touristy campsites in qld

Hoew about Girraween NAtional Park, great spot.

Totally agree with Chopper, and just a little to the west is Sundown np, both absolutely tops for a quiet weekend. However, a little bit further south and over the border is the tiny (and historic) tin mining village of Torrington. Great for bush camping and a very friendly pub. Also only 3hrs. from Twmba!

about 2 ks past the army main gate you cross a little bridge the camp site is on the right

Head inland..... we travelled oz with a couple of friends. After the middle and outback we hit the coast. Yuk! Golden yuppies everywhere. Our friends went to beach resorts while we headed for the hills. As we made our way south we met up several times and enjoyed the beach. The campsites in national parks and forestry areas were far superior [non touristy.... and cheap]. That was a dozen years ago. Maybe the disease has headed inland.

Try Peach Trees, near Jimna, which is about 2hrs from T'ba, and has heaps of room, open grassy campsites, on the banks of a creek. Hot showers, flush toilets, very quiet during the week, but heaps of room for weekends as well. Also Booloumba Creek, which is down the Jimna range via the Sunday creek road, there are 3 different campgrounds, but two require bookings, but are alongside a creek, amongst rainforest, and this ground has more secluded campsites than Peach Trees. Try www.epa.qld.gov.au, and go to National parks and forests. Have camped at these spots many times, and every time think how lucky we are to have such excellent spots so close to town, that don't get overcrowded. Enjoy yourself! Tristjo.

If you like the ocean, you might like to think about Inskip Point (southern end of Fraser Island). Its a National Park run camp area, their is tiolets and thats it.Rainbow beach is only about 15km away from it and you will need to get your water at Rainbow. Word of warning, leave going there until at least a couple of weeks. I was there on Sunday and it was tent city, but there are times when you just about have the place to yourself.

Have you thought about Nanango? Especially the "7 Mile Diggings".

It is an excellent spot and Not many people go there. It is well set up though. The only thing is, You Need A 4WD. If you don't, forget the 7 Mile Diggings. I'd say the reason for not many people visiting is the fact it's only accessable by 4WD or foot.
