Swan Gully Park

We had some fun on the tracks but didn't enjoy the camping. In the valley there are nice open grassy areas for camping but we prefer to be private and away from other people. Unfortunately the ridge camping sites we went up to, which were more private were hard to find, small, overgrown and right next to the 4x4 tracks. The views from the ridge are incredible though!The tracks were fun but the map was a bit hard to follow and the easy tracks were def not easy in places - we were on our own and it def got hairy in places! I also had a close call with a snake while spotting the 4wd on the tracks- eep!Additionally the biogas plant close by starts its generators at night and the noise coming up the ridge was insane - woke both my husband and I up several times through the night. Not what you want when escaping to the bush.In summary come here for the 4x4 tracks not the camping.

Met friends there that had camped the night. We just went for the day to check the place out.Wow, passed 50 cows on the way in who gracefully moved out of our way. What a change from the city atmosphere.As we wound into the property taking in the beautiful scenery and abundant wildlife we began to relax and saw several great spots to camp for next time.We paid at the office and were given some advice by the owner as to which tracks to take.If you like 4wding but not too full on, stick to the green tracks!!After some very steep accents we were presented with stunning 360 views and a good dose of adrenalin.If you are very experienced and have at least one locker and a winch and a second car to help out I would suggest trying the yellow tracks. But be warned they are proper off camber steep, rocky tracks that can catch you out. Awesome right?Black tracks are for comp trucks and crazy people.I'll be back to camp with the kids. Saw lots of wallabies, birds of prey, cows, a beautiful king fisher, goanna, hundreds of tiny birds singing near 21. So much serenity......

Very dry, and open. Not great for camping. Some nice views on the ridgeline tracks, and a couple of Shaded spots to camp for a large group or couple/family. For a park this size, nowhere near enough camping spots, just for driving.They have a very poorly marked on the mud map. You think you're on an easy and it's a hard. Some marked as medium are easy, others have easy halves and medium sections, but all marked as one or the other or something else. For the $40 for a day, I'd expect that the tracks be marked on the mud map and some simple signs out on the tracks. You'd get enough people and money to make this much better and safer for all. Give this a miss, unless you have 35s or bigger and don't mind taking some hits with your rig. I wouldn't recommend this at all for new to medium skilled 4wders or clubs for average drivers.

Went out for a day trip for one of me mates birthday bash and that we did ,bashed and crashed our way up cals creek a little mishap at the start but a quick recovery buy good mates and we where on our way again, all in all a great day was had by all.a great place for junkas but leave ya good car at home a bit of track maintenance is needed cheers Pedro

good track.. toilet facilities need improvement.. will definitely be back for the challenging 4wd tracks.

Went out to Swan Gully for a 2 nights ( Friday night and Saturday night). We arrived after the office closed on Friday, Deb met us on the way in gave us a map and said we can fix it all up in the morning. We stayed at site 1 ( the pick of the bunch I reckon.) The drive in 100% requires a 4x4 ( that’s the reason we went). No amenities at site 1 but that’s what camping is anout. We were very amateur 4x4 drives and found the green tracks fun. Had a great weekend. Will be back

Close to Brisbane with some great 4x4 tracks with excellent views at the top of the ridge lines. Day pass not too expensive and camping looks fantastic (and is 2wd accessible)Their map leaves something to be desired and I’d question whether ‘easy’ rated tracks are in fact easy. I wouldn’t want to attempt in a vehicle that didn’t have a suspension lift and bigger tyres.

Owners are lovely, close to Brisbane/Ipswich, only an hour's drive. Fee to 4wd was a bit steep, 40 from memory, beautiful scenery but tracks could have been better, smaller than a normal 4wd park but decent place to go for a day trip.

Beautiful, challenging and private camping for you including the dog. A great weekend away where you get to use your 4WD vehicle like it was made to be.

Great park, but owners are very selective with who can and can't drive after 5pm. We were coming from Brisbane after a day's work on a Saturday, but couldn't get to the campsite after five due to the strict terms and conditions You understand there is no night driving on the property after 5pm." With a permanent ban to the park as the repercussion. On Saturday night as we were trying to relax
