Stay for a week-end or longer. The Retreat is a true wilderness escape - just two hours drive from Brisbane. It doesn't make sense to leave home if you then have to contend with a congested camping ground. There is no wrong time to visit. Every season shows a different aspect of the bush and the mountains; and no phone, WiFi access or internet access - bliss;
They offer 3 camping area's, the main camping area and a choice of two other secluded camp sites. They also offer dormitory style accommodation in spacious cabins that sleep 8 persons, basic but comfortable.
