Dandabah camping area, Bunya Mountains National Park - Bunya Mountains, Queensland

Well facilitate camping sites. It's lot smaller than I expected but neighbors are well behaved so we have enjoyed a quite night. The amenities are clean and well maintained. The early morning hiking in the near by Eastern trail is a great experience. Lot of birds and wallabies. If you like wildlife photography, then this is a great spot. Definitely will come back again.

Great place to camp. Big open space with trees around the edge. Park your car right next to your tent or caravan. The shorter walks in the national park are located here, but there's access to the longer walks too. There are also cafes and a bistro right next door. There's a sheltered area with free bbqs, sinks for washing your dishes next to the toilets, and one of the few national parks in Queensland with free hot showers!

It was my first camping trip, and Dandabah camping grounds has made me a lover of camping... bonus hot showers, clean toilets, and a place to wash cooking pans/etc. Its a very small camping ground so there isnt much noise. It has the most beautiful skies i have seen at night ... the endless hiking/walking trails for all fitness levels, had space to play cricket with the other campers ... absolutely peaceful atmosphere .. LOVED it and will be returning

This is my favourite campground in the Bunya Mountains.

The ground is set on flat grass in the heart of the Dandabah settlement amongst all the trees and wildlife. It's really special waking up to the sound of wallabies munching on grass outside your tent.

The place just has a serene and happy feel about it that I haven't found in many other places.

The facilities here are great, especially for women. There are warm showers, flushing toilets, sinks to do the dishes in etc. It's very civilised.

It gets very busy and crowded over long weekends and school holiday weekends, so you need to book at least a month in advance to avoid disappointment.

For most other times you are safe to book a week in advance, and during the off season you can just turn up and book at the Ranger's office on the public computer out the front.

I prefer camping here during the week when it's less crowded, but if you only have the weekends off, it's still really nice.

Great area, facilities are modern and immaculate. Free electric barbeques large picnic tables located undercover. Located close to the starting point for several nice bush walks. There is an abundance of animals everywhere and the local animals have no fear of people. There is also several coffee shops, a bar and restuarant and a general store within five minutes walk of the camp grounds

Good, compact and very popular camping ground with facilities including hot showers. Park Rangers office provides useful information, and booking (and cell phone reception) for the other Bunya Mountain campgrounds.

Dandabah was a great camping area but overcrowded. It has flushable toilets, hot showers and bins so makes camping quite easy. When I was there some campers had spread out taking up large portions of room which makes this whole campsite problematic. It is more like a caravan park. There are cafes and a store within walking distance also. I would go here again for the walks and to be in the mountains but possibly would choose another campsite for some quite.

I visited on ANZAC weekend April 2022. The camping area was crowded and a bit disordered as the campers set up their camps higgildy piggildy. Everybody was very friendly and helped each other.
The weather was wet with cool winds, the clouds were at ground level every morning.
Given the many people and the cool weather - the wise showered early as the hot water tended to be used up.
When there were fewer people there was plenty of hot water.
The amenities were clean and in good condition. I appreciated the number of hooks in the shower.
There are no fire places and the picnic shelters offered electric hot plates but not much shelter from the wind.
The lawns were in great condition. And the wallabies visited every day.
