Camping at Cullendore
Camping at Cullendore is simple, spacious and connected to the landscape.
Guests are free to explore the property at their own pace, with access to walking trails that move through forest, creek lines and open grazing country. Native wildlife is a constant presence, and the scale of the property allows for a sense of quiet and privacy that is increasingly hard to find.
Fires are permitted, creating space to gather in the evenings and experience the landscape after dark.
The Creek Camp
Nestled along a spring-fed creek on the eastern side of the property, Creek Camp offers ten secluded sites, including two group areas.
Shaded, private, and set alongside a high country stream, it’s ideal for those seeking a quieter, more immersive camping experience.
The Overflow
The Overflow is a collection of campsites spread across several creek lines, including areas known as The Valley, The Rise and Clancy’s.
It offers a flexible mix of sites — from smaller creekside spots to larger group areas near open wetlands.
The Mountain Camp
Positioned high on the northern escarpment, Mountain Camp looks out across the eastern Darling Downs.
With group sites and mountain views, it’s suited to those seeking a more forested setting.
Amenities
Cullendore offers a considered camping experience, balancing simplicity with comfort.
Hot gas showers and flushing toilets are available across all camp areas. Outdoor showers are enclosed for privacy, while still open to the stars above.
A refined take on bush camping, with the essentials thoughtfully in place.

“The best camping experience we have ever had!
People are well spread out through the huge camp site so we could have so much privacy to ourselves. The toilet and shower very clean and well maintained. Lots of wildlife that kept surprising us. The host Wendy is very friendly and made us feel so welcomed.
This is the first camp site that we think we will visit again and again!”

The sites are large and well spaced. The location wasn’t overcrowded like others in the area.
Wendy and family are very friendly and accommodating. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Loved it!”
