Amamoor State Forest – Qld

Amamoor State Forest Has two Camps

These forest camps are Cedar Grove Camp & Amamoor Creek Camp. We visited the Cedar Grove Camp which is around 30 minutes south of Gympie. It’s a lovely place for a drive and a stroll even though we didn’t stay.

Cedar Grove Camp

The unsealed road takes you to a huge grassed area which will fit many vans and tents. Large ring fire-pits are scattered around the camp so bring some fire wood with you.

Flushing toilets are also here if you’re not self contained, also great for those in tents etc.

Have a meander down the easy walking track. This takes you through the forest to the babbling stream. After the rain this might be a nice place to have a swim and cool down.

Booking is through Queensland Parks & Forests. Once you book you will get a tag to print out and put on your tent/van. This has your booking number. If you can’t print it out you can write the number on paper and display it so it can be seen by the park rangers.
