Gunalda Bush Camping (CG)

It’s back to Basic Camping at Gunalda Bush Camp; bring what you need and leave only your footprints behind. There are 68 acres of bush land with camp spots dotted all over it, some fire pits provided, if you have one please bring it with you.

You can choose to have privacy or camp where there is some open spaces to enable a number of people to camp for socialisation.  Firewood is available on-site.

The property is registered with Land for Wildlife so the Kangaroos, Goannas and other wildlife roam free or in the case of birds, there is an abundance of them. A seasonal creek on the property & a dam provides water for the wildlife. The terrain is undulating but there is adequate flat land for tents to large motorhomes, fifth wheelers and The Grey Nomads are more than welcome to come & stay.

Gunalda has a Hotel, General store selling ice and a variety of meats veggies & fruit with Post Office, Real estate Office, hairdresser, bakery, old wares shop etc on the opposite side of the highway from Anderleigh Rd. A Service Station is just nearby if requiring fuel etc.

THINGS TO DO
The tiny township of Gunalda is situated off the Bruce Highway 25 km north of Gympie the gold mining town of the past.

Gunalda Bush Camp is ideal for those who wish to chill out of “The Rat Race” for a few days, weeks or however long it takes to wind down from the electronic age. Having said that there is phone & data reception at Gunalda Bush Camp for those who feel they really need to keep in touch with the outside world.

Bush walks, bird watching and even getting up early to see the Kangaroos munching on the new shoots of grass, especially after the rain. You may get to see a Goanna or two and other wildlife if you take the time to look around. It’s only 6 km from the township whip boasts a good playground for the children but then the philosophy of Gunalda Bush Camp is “Getting Back to Basics”.

A further ten-minute drive down Anderleigh Road there is Forestry Track for access by 4 wheel drive vehicles for exploring.
