Why Highvale residents travel to Camp Mountain
Highvale has a beautiful semi-rural feel, but Camp Mountain can offer a different kind of “getaway” experience without the long haul. Practical reasons locals make the short trip include:
- Quick, low-stress travel: Being only about 9 km away means less packing drama and more time actually camping.
- Room to park and set up: A dedicated Camping & Caravan site is typically easier for turning, parking, and levelling than improvised spots.
- Closer to key routes: Camp Mountain sits handy to main roads linking to Samford Valley, Dayboro and Brisbane, which helps when you’re towing.
- A more “bush” feel: Many campers want that sense of being away from it all—trees, quiet, night skies—while still staying close to home.
- Better for trial runs: If you’ve just bought a tent, camper trailer, or caravan, staying nearby is a great way to test gear and routines.
