National Parks in and around Brisbane
Sponsored Links
Brisbane Forest Park offers the facilities for barbecues, fireplaces, picnic shelters and there are also tables provided. If you're up for roughing it in the bush then there are plenty of secluded campsites off the beaten track in the park's back country. However, before you pitch the tent remember that you've got to swing by the Brisbane Forest Park Headquarters to obtain a permit.
Enjoying a picnic in the park is easy at one of the many recreation areas on offer. Some of the more popular sites include Mt Coot-tha, Ironbark Gully and Bellbird Grove which are all within 30 minutes drive of the CBD. But why stop that far from the city? Why not go further? Well you can! If you venture out you'll find great locations like Boombana, Mailala, Cedar Flats, Camp Mountain and Jolly's Lookout.
Camping bookings, camp data and details about park closure can all be found at the Environment and Resource Management website.
