Byfield National Park Camping- Off the Grid

Byfield National park is about 70km north east of Rockhampton on the Capricorn Coast. Byfield National Park camping offers a number of campsites around the park and in the adjacent state forest. Bookings through the Queensland National Park Service is the norm these days. In the NP itself it is pretty much 4wd territory so dont expect to bring in the caravan but offroad trailers are no problem. As always in NPs bring your own firewood. Checkout the fishing here, looks great get a muddie and a barra for me.

If you are after a great place to go remote style camping with family or a group of friends then consider this location. Byfield National Park has a variety of different attributes to enjoy such as rugged mountains to conquer  4WD tracks, rainforests, swimming, kayaking . It also has an abundance of wildlife to observe.
