About this campsite

The Stinson Park Camping Area holds not only natural beauty, but a historic touch as well. It's the site where local hero Bernard O'Reilly set up a search and rescue base following the 1937 Stinson aircraft crash in the neighbouring Lamington National Park. This adds a layer of historic significance, turning a camping trip into a step back in time. Will you be the next to explore its wonders?

In 1937, the Stinson Park Camping Area became notably recognized when a Stinson aircraft tragically crashed in the dense rainforest of Lamington National Park. The local hero, Bernard O'Reilly, nobly established a rescue base at this very site. This remarkable story of bravery and human spirit captures the essence of Stinson Park - a blend of natural beauty, adventure, homage to history and community spirit.
