Looking for places to camp near Brisbane? Well, you’re in the right spot! All of the sites on this list are within three and a half hours drive of Brisbane.
After I did the places to camp within 3.5 hours of Sydney post I starting fielding a heap of requests from people up near Brisbane asking for the same thing.
There’s no way I can get around and review all of these places personally in the near future, so this is more about doing some of the legwork for you and making it easier for you to choose the place that suits your needs.
Use the links to go directly to the website (if they have one) for each place to check it out in further detail.
All of these places have either been recommended or they looked great to me when I was researching and I would want to head there.
I’ll try and make sure this list has a mixture of both caravan parks and free/offroad/remote camps so that there is hopefully something to suit everyone.
I’d love to hear your feedback about any of these spots and also hear about any that aren’t on the list that you think should be.
Also, feel free to leave your reviews (good or bad) in the comments below to help the next person out.
I tell you what though, you guys up north are spoilt for choice, it’s awesome!
There’s so many options close to the city that this list is going to keep on growing and growing. I can’t wait to get up there are start checking them out myself.
