Clancy's Campground and Dayuse Area

Clancy's Campground and Dayuse Area is situated in Colinton within the Benarkin State Forest. The site features large, flat grassy areas suitable for tents, camper trailers, and caravans. Located beside Emu Creek, it provides opportunities for swimming and wildlife observation in a natural bushland setting. Facilities include composting toilets and communal fire rings, though visitors must bring their own water and firewood for self-sufficient stays. The location serves as a practical base for exploring the surrounding Brisbane Valley Rail Trail. Visitors often use the area for bushwalking, mountain biking, and birdwatching along the established forest tracks. The campground is dog-friendly, provided animals remain on leashes at all times. Its position near the D'Aguilar Highway makes it accessible for travellers seeking a quiet stopover between regional towns in the Somerset area.
