With a caravan, you can travel anywhere and everywhere without battling the rush of the peak holiday season or last-minute reservations. While the rest of the country queues up to secure a concrete slab, you can explore peace much deeper in nature. If you’re looking to escape the big city lights and get stuck into the wilderness, the Gold Coast Hinterland awaits, and we have three spectacular spots to park your off-road caravan. 

Jubarra Country Camping, Bromelton 

Located between Boonah and Beaudesert, Jubarra is a working cattle farm. It boasts stunning panoramic views with secluded campsites nestled by Alan Creek or in the gum trees. Up on the high ridge, you feel isolated from modern chaos. 

What to know before you go: this is a steep, rocky access track, so your off-road caravan must be a high-clearance 4WD to tackle the terrain safely. The site maintains tranquillity by limiting the number of visitors to 50 at one time, and as it’s a working farm, pets aren’t allowed. Avoid disappointment by booking before you set off.

Stonesthrow, Mudgeeraba Valley

If you’re looking for epic destinations, Stonesthrow puts you on nature’s doorstep with ancient rainforests and sweeping valley views. Indulge in what feels like a completely remote camping spot but is only a short drive from the beach. 

What to know before you go: the tracks, especially in the upper area, are weather-dependent and steep, so organise your trip around dry weather. This site operates a strict leave-no-trace policy, so pack your sealed chemical toilet and remember to clean up after yourself.

Boonah

Boonah is home to a range of cattle stations and a caravan park near the showground as well. Cattle stations that offer camping are awesome. They plunge you into a stunning scene with pristine flowing creeks and massive gum trees. It delivers the quintessential bush experience where you can unplug and unwind as you enjoy the local wildlife and nature.

What to know before you go: remote stations are amenity-free, so pack plenty of fresh water and food, and organise grey-water storage and reliable solar power.
