Camping in Girraween

Create camping memories of a lifetime—share the day’s adventures over a barbecue, spot possums or insectivorous bats at night and wake with the birds at Girraween’s well-equipped camping areas.

Whereas Terrawambella camping area has open spacious sites for camper trailers, large caravans and motor homes. The tent area is only available for large, organised groups.

Bushcamping in remote sections of Girraween National Park is also permitted (restrictions apply). As sites are not identified by signs or markers, campers need good navigation skills and to practice minimal impact behaviour when using these areas.
