Manar Park is a sunny state 4WDing purist’s paradise. Right on the border of South Burnett and North Burnett, the expansive offroad playground is set across a 15,000-acre cattle station.

The park is open to 4WDers and campers year round and there’s loads to keep you occupied out here for more than a few days. With over 230km of graded and marked 4WD tracks to work your way through, your next visit likely won’t be your last.

There are over 100 acres of campgrounds spread across the property, with something for everyone. The front and middle and main campgrounds are all kitted out with amenity blocks with flushing toilets and hot showers. If you feel like treating yourself, premium sites with power and shade are available.
