The campgrounds

Archer Campgrounds is an open camping area, well grassed and shaded by big old gum trees. There is a fenced area of vegetation that separates the campsites from Neurum Creek, but you can walk either side to gain access to the creek bank. Each campsite is allocated one car park, however, this is fenced off by timber posts making Archer Campgrounds a tent and ute slider camping area only (this means that no caravans are permitted). Each camp area has a fire pit. Please check the Queensland National Parks website before departing for you camping trip to ensure you are abiding by the most recent fire restrictions. You will also need to bring your own firewood, as this is not supplied. Firewood is available from nearby in either Woodford or Dayboro if required. Collection of firewood from within the National Park and the use of chainsaws, is strictly forbidden.

Broadwater

Only a short walking distance from the Archer Camp Sites, Broadwater is a popular waterhole in the summer months. The waterhole,one of many along Neurum Creek, is accessible via a walking track from the picnic area. A short distance of 200 metres brings you to a lovely little swimming spot, perfect for small kayaks and flotation devices. There is also a nice bank area along the waterhole, to lay out in the sun and dry off before heading back to camp. If you’re concerned about the swimming hole being too deep for little ones, either side of the water mass is a trickling stream that runs over rocks and boulders. These spots are great for kids to explore nature and have some fun, from leaf boat races, rock collecting to boulder hoping, whilst still enjoying a little water play.

Falls Lookout is an easy bushwalk that offers a great view of Mount Mee and Neurum Valley.
