The turn-off to Booloumba Creek day-use and camping areas is about 13 km past Conondale and the turn-off to Sunday Creek Road is a further 0.5 km.
Alternative access is via the Eumundi-Kenilworth Road, off the Bruce Highway. Kenilworth is about 28 km from the highway. The turn-off to Sunday Creek Road is about 7 km past Kenilworth and the turn-off to Booloumba Creek day-use and camping areas is a further 0.5 km.
All park roads are gravel and at present suitable for high clearance four-wheel-drive vehicles only. Booloumba Creek Road includes several creek crossings.
