Thunderbird Park on Tamborine Mountain

A magnificent mountain resort ideal for day trips, family holidays and everything in between.

Thunderbird Park is a geologically rich oasis with an abundance of native wildlife, stretching over 112 hectares on Tamborine Mountain, Queensland.

Originating from the Mount Warning volcanic eruption 22 million years ago, Mount Tamborine is located along the northern edge of the ancient caldera and aptly represents the 'Green behind the Gold' within the Gold Coast hinterland.

Part of the eclectically diverse Scenic Rim region of Queensland, Thunderbird Park lies adjacent to the Cedar Creek section of Tamborine National Park with Cedar Creek cascading through the property down to Cedar Creek Falls. These beautiful falls are a sight to behold and are only a leisurely 10minute bush walk from Thunderbird Park.

Our accommodation options on-site are enjoyed all year round by adventurous locals and tourists alike – it’s an ideal destination for a day trip or overnight stay.

"We love love love love this place! Adventurous for kids and nature environment for adults. We camp 3 nights and everyone has fun as every campsite comes with campfire. The kids love campfire. Highly recommended! (The kids already request to go back for the next school holidays.)"

"Loved every minute of being here. Great staff, very warm and welcoming! Definitely recommend all activities!"

"Wow! This was without a doubt a 5 star experience. The treetop challenge was a great time and it really brought on a sweat. Not the bad kind. More like the kind you get from when you make love. A sweat you enjoy. If you aren't at least a little bit athletic, you would not enjoy this as much as I did. Worth a check if you are visiting and are a thrill seeker. Oh, and the staff were lovely."

"This place was awesome fun, I have a huge fear of height & did the challenge. After finishing 2 stages I feel better & will be going back to do it again, will try the 4 stages next time. Staff were very professional & help you through it."

"What an amazing place! Came here by chance after seeing a brochure and will definitely be back. Not just for people camping or staying here, the park is home to loads of open space and creeks as well as the treetop challenge, putt putt, a cafe (great coffee, thanks Paige!), and gemstone challenge. Our kids loved it. Plenty of parking as well in beautiful surrounds. We loved this place and highly recommend..!!"

"Went for the treetop challenge, super fun, the black section had my arms and upper body in agony (the good kind), the facilities have immaculate safety measures and the staff are extremely well trained. Nothing quite like zipping through the canopy."

"Did a private session of laser skirmish and it was fantastic value for money. Kids and adults had a blast, the games were great, varied and suited for everyone. Technology was surprisingly accurate, covered a good distance and had a lot of different gun selections. Great day had by all. Definitely recommend it."

"We enjoyed our family holiday. Lots of activities to keep the kids busy as well as good Bush walks. Staff friendly and the facilities well equipped. Showers were so nice and hot a bit of luxury camping. We booked in at a few extra activities and we really enjoyed Laser Skirmish. The staff Silhouette and Ranger were awesome at Laser Skirmish and we highly recommend it!"
