    This is a very big national park which you can't finish with just a day tour. You will need at least 2 or 3 days to explore all the places in the national park. The detail of the places I will give a review at the specific place in Google map. If you want to go for camping there is a settlement area which you need to get a permit through the website or by phonecall If you want to see the lookout point there are some lookout points which are best of all lookout, canyon lookout, purling brooks fall lookout, and etc. If you are into hiking there will be a long train at the canyon lookout which will be 14KM long which will take you about 6hours++ If you want a short want you can probably walk to the twin falls, it is worth it. Overall I have a very pleasant experience there. Definitely worth a visit and plan a stay there

    Very nice national park, up in the mountains so quite cool. Visited the Twin Falls area of the park on a Saturday and was very busy. The walk to Twin falls is relatively short and popular with families. We walked part of the Warrie Circuit which had a few waterfalls, need a full day to walk the whole length (14 km).

    Very beautiful hike! We did the Purling hike. Definitely do it starting from clockwise direction. Beautiful views and incredible vegetation! The waterfall was stunning!

    Small but gorgeous park. The park is well designed and allows one to have a short but satisfying trek . It's a bit of a drive from the gold coast but worth it

    So blessed to have this wonderful national park so close to the Gold Coast. The Twin Falls and Purling Brook hikes have fantastic waterfalls and are great for people looking for a 4-8km hike. Lots of kids do these hikes too. For anyone looking for something longer, the Warrie Circuit is around 16km and has 7 or 8 waterfalls along the way. On the other side of the national park, in the Numinbah valley, Natural Bridge is a great place to visit during the day or at night to see the glow worms. In the town of Springbrook there are a few cafes and some great accommodation. I can highly recommend it for a day trip from Brisbane or the Gold Coast or a nice weekend away. One thing I can highly recommend is the Springbrook observatory to see the amazing stars. There are also lots of amazing lookouts around the town to visit. One thing that can be improved is the parking at the Canyon lookout, so if you are going on a sunny weekend, be aware that it will fill up very quickly. Overall I think it’s a fantastic national park and we’ll worth a visit.
