Allawah Scout Camp

Allawah Scout Camp is a three-tiered riverfront campsite on the Brisbane River at Mount Crosby, with powered and unpowered sites for tents, caravans and camper trailers. Dogs are welcome, but the rule that matters here is a strict one: leads on at all times, no exceptions, which shapes how you plan the stay.

Dog access and setup. This is an outdoor camping stay rather than bunkhouse or cabin accommodation, and it suits dogs better in that setting. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times and never left unattended at your site. Clean up after your dog promptly. Bring your own ground spike or long lead to secure your dog at the campsite, since nothing is supplied. The site is forested, so check your dog for ticks regularly during and after the stay.

Known for. A quiet, rustic bush-camping atmosphere close to Brisbane, with river frontage along the Brisbane River and plenty of open space between sites.

Getting there and parking. The camp is at 224 Allawah Rd, Mount Crosby. Road access suits all vehicle types including caravans and motorhomes, and sites are spacious enough to park alongside your setup. Bookings are essential by phone or email, the camp gets busy and drive-through arrivals are not permitted when it is full.

Book ahead, especially on weekends, and treat this as a lead-on, river-view camp rather than an off-leash run. Good for dogs that settle well on a long lead near water and are not bothered by other campers nearby.
