Camping

Camping on the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail

Lightweight, wild camping is officially prohibited on the BVRT.

In addition, open fires are strictly prohibited due to the very high fire risk in our dry climate conditions.

Campsites and Rest Areas

Fernvale: Designated roadside rest area* about 1 km north of the town near the Geof Fisher Bridge,  just to the east of the Brisbane Valley Highway on the Brisbane River. Otherwise, the showgrounds in Lowood are a better option.

Lowood: Lowood Show Grounds

Coominya: There is limited accommodation available in Coominya, camping or otherwise. Bellevue Homestead sometimes accomodates guests if booked in advance and there are a couple of Air BnBs in the area.

Esk: Esk Caravan Park

ToogoolawahToogoolawah Showgrounds offers camping with facilities and there are two designated rest areas* available opposite the old Toogoolawah station and in Polly Crandell Park on the BVRT just south of the town.
