Crediton State Forest

Crediton State Forest contains tall, stately rose gums more than a century old remain along Crediton Loop Road. This is the northern limit of these beautiful trees. The forest also contains relics of gold mining exploration during the 1880s. Quiet country roads and farming communities here provide country charm. Just outside the state forest, Crediton Hall is a key feature of the area. It has brought this small community together for more than 60 years. In its early days, the hall was both a classroom and community hall. Today, it's part of the recreation reserve and serves as a campground for weary walkers and travellers like you. Following old forestry tracks through Crediton State Forest's open woodland, you can continue south to enjoy the cool breezes and open outlooks of Denham Range camping area.

You can bush camp at The Diggings or stay in the campgrounds at Crediton Hall and Denham Range. Camping permits are required and fees apply. The bush camp at The Diggings is not far off Eungella Dam Road but you'll feel much further away in this tranquil spot. There are no facilities or designated campsites, just plenty of natural offerings. Tall trees shade a grassy clearing near a calm section of Broken River. Obtain your permit to camp at The Diggings at the QPWS office in Eungella National Park or Mackay, or by calling the QPWS office in Eungella National Park or Mackay.
