WHERE
Byfield is an hour north of Rockhampton on Queensland ’ s mid-north coast . There are two sections to the park , which are intersected by Byfield Road . To the west is Byfield State Forest , where controlled logging operations take place year-round in the pine plantations . To the east is Byfield National Park , which is predominantly sand-driving along coastal tracks .
CAMPING OPTIONS
There is a plethora of campsites to choose from depending on your setup . In Byfield State Forest , there is Upper Stoney Creek campground right on Stoney Creek , which is beautiful and peaceful , plus the swimming is great in the large waterholes . Across in the national park , there ’ s Red Rock campground in amongst large gums , while up the road at the Water Park camp , there is access to another local creek for a dip .
If beach camping is your thing , head onto Nine Mile Beach to the allocated areas . Right in the heart of Byfield are a couple of beautiful farm stays , including Forest Fields and Ferns Hideaway .
THINGS TO SEE AND DO
Byfield is all about nature , whether it be coastal views , hiking , birdwatching or just relaxing . The 4WD tracks on the western side of Byfield Road are relatively easy through the pine plantations , but on the eastern side of the road you ’ ll need some experience to navigate your way to the coast .
