The Gorge Wilderness Park

The Gorge Wilderness Park is a private camping and caravan park just off Charlwood Rd near Aratula, Queensland. It’s a bit out of the way, so expect a quiet spot surrounded by bush rather than a resort vibe. The sites cater for caravans and tents, with powered and unpowered options available. Booking is by request, so it’s worth organising ahead, especially during peak times.

Facilities are basic but functional – think amenities blocks and fresh water, but don’t expect anything flash. The park is popular with people heading to nearby national parks and trails, so it’s a good base if you want to explore the Scenic Rim without the city crowds. Just be prepared for the usual Aussie bush flies in warmer months.
