Dogs are welcome but must remain on a lead at all times and under control of a person. 

Dogs are not allowed in the water or on boats. This is SEQ Water’s rule.

Don’t forget to pick up any mess your dog makes.

Each of the campsites, homesteads and cabin have a fire pit. Fires are only allowed in these firepits.

Fire pits must not be moved. A fee of $50 is charged for any firepits which are moved to cover the cost of digging out the burnt ground and planting grass on the damaged area.

Firewood is available for purchase at the kiosk for $15 a bag, or may be purchased at the roadside stalls along Burnett Creek Road.

Trees on the camping ground must not be chopped down. A fee will be charged for any tree chopped down to pay for replacement and planting of the new tree.

We do not have a boat ramp, but usually smaller boats and jet-skis can be launched from the camping ground’s lakeside access (depending on how muddy the ground is after rain or falling dam water levels). Boat and jet ski trailers are to be parked 50m back from the water’s edge to allow all campers access to the water.

Larger boats are advised to launch from the public concrete boat ramp located on Slater Park Road on the northside of Maroon Dam approximately 10km from the camping ground.

Flushing toilets and hot showers are available at the Billabong camping area near the office.

The Maroon Cove area has male and female toilets (port-a-loo style).  Maroon Cove guests may use the showers at the Billabong area.

Maroon Dam is a stocked impoundment and is stocked with the following fish: 

• Yellow belly perch
• Mary River Cod
• Silver Perch
• Bass

A fishing permit from the Qld Department of Agriculture & Fisheries is required for people aged of 18 and over. The permit can be purchased from this link here.

There is also Redclaw crayfish in the dam. These must be caught with collapsible nets (eg opera style) which are connected to a solid foam float (plastic milk bottles not allowed) labelled with your contact details.

Further information and rules on fishing in stocked impoundments can be found here. 

We do not offer refunds for rainy weather. Please refer to our cancellation policy for further details

Good mobile phone service is available for Telstra or Telstra-reseller customers. 

 Wi-Fi is not available at the camping ground. 

Friends of camping guests are allowed to visit the lakeside area for the day. Please advise staff of day visitor numbers before they arrive. A fee of $7 per person applies.

General public may also visit for the day for lake access, however during busy periods (eg public holidays or school holidays), the number of day visitors will be restricted to allow space at the lakeside for camping guests.  A fee of $7 per person applies.
