Hello,
My name is Tiffany, I am in grade 12, and as stated as my topic, I am with a sensible group looking for a camping spot in SE QLD for schoolies. We live in South
Brisbane, and do not wish to travel any longer than a 4hr drive. Currently we are looking at Glenrow Station, because its out of the way, and does not seem to be terribly busy, even on holidays. However, if anyone can think of any other
places that we would not be crowded by too many other campers but does not require serious 4X4 driving experience to enter, please reply.
We are a group of approx. 6, two of us are 17, two are 18, and the other two are 21. If you reply with any other camping spots, please affix they're contact address and phone number if possible.
Thank-you,
Tiff

If you get bored with the camping, might be a handy place to be !
It is advisable to
check with NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service before you set off. Either phone 1300 361 967 (within NSW) or (02) 9253 4600 or visit
nationalparks

Nimbin's National Parks

Adjacent to
nightcap national park is the Whian Whian
state forest with a camping ground up the road from the park's waterfall. Fantastic spot. Long way from a pub though.

Hi tiffany,
Last time I was past the road going into Glenrow Station [around April/May sometime] there was a big "CLOSED" sign on it.
I don't know if it still is, but if so, the nearby
Gordon Country
camping area on the way into Goomburra NP would possibly suit your purposes

Fraser Is. would be great.
Cost a bit to get over on the barge.
Doesn't really need any 'serious'4wding.

Brad

G'day Tiffany,
Are you planning on attending Schoolies on the coast or are you just wanting to escape all that and enjoy a camping holiday away?
I've got stacks of good spots but it depends on what you're doing regarding attending schoolies. Let me know roughly what you're planning and I'll get back to you with some fav spots and details.
Cheers,
Pradoboy

Hey Pradoboy,
Yeah my friends and I are looking to escape most of civilization and just relax out bush. I always
camp out with my parents, but this will obviously be the first time i've camped out by myself (with the exception of my friends).
So yes, any ideas, throw them at me!
Ta,
Tiff

Hi Tiff
Try Barb and Toddy Kemp at Arcot station - a little further on from
Stanthorpe. The tracks are from scenic to hard. The camping areas are great. Clean
toilets. Reasonable rates for camping. If you want a little more comfort they have shearers quarters for rent. They'll also feed you if you so wish. Sorry haven't got the phone number on me but you can look them up on the white pages web site.
As far as I'm aware Glenrow is closed.
