What is Byfield National Park?

A wilderness area north of Yeppoon combining Byfield National Park and State Forest — rainforest creeks, towering coastal sand dunes, long 4WD beaches and rugged ranges. It’s the Capricorn Coast’s adventure backyard.

Do you need a 4WD for Byfield?

For the beaches and forest tracks (Nine Mile Beach, the dunes, Stony Creek), yes — a high-clearance 4WD and tide awareness are essential. The sealed road reaches Byfield township and some day-use areas in a 2WD. See our Byfield 4WD guide.

What is there to do at Byfield?

Four-wheel driving, swimming in freshwater creeks (Waterpark Creek, Stony Creek), camping, bushwalking, birdwatching, and visiting Nob Creek Pottery and the local eco-retreats. A day trip or an overnight both work.

Can you camp at Byfield?

Yes — there is camping in the national park and state forest and at private grounds (permits/bookings apply for national-park sites). Check current conditions and fire/access notices before you go.

How far is Byfield from Yeppoon?

The township is about 45 minutes (~40 km) north of Yeppoon; the beaches and dunes are beyond it and need a 4WD.
