Camping Suggestions

[Greg]

GDay All, my wife and I are new to the Brisbane area and miss nice quiet spots to camp on a creek or a river with our border collie. Any suggestions? We love to just pitch the tent, swim and relax by a fire without the hassles that go with commercial camping areas. Happy to travel a few hours.

Lake Moogerah
Lake Moogerah was formed when Reynald's Creeks, a tributary of the Bremmer River, was dammed in 1961. The lake is located approximately 15km west of Boonah.

Lake Moogerah Caravan and Camping Park
Muller Park Rd

This is a really quiet caravan park offers a variety of accommodation including powered and unpowered sites as well as self contained one bedroom cabins.

Site facilities include:

- Electric and Wood BBQs

Plenty to see via the dam wall and picnic grounds, walk to Mt Edwards, drive to spicers gap, drive back into boonah for a coffee morning etc. and then onto Mt French for another lookout
