This charming town offers a peaceful alternative to the bustling beach resorts, with easy access to both mountain adventures and ocean activities.

Traveling to Landsborough by RV

Landsborough sits right on the Bruce Highway (A1), making access straightforward for RVs of any size. The town exit is clearly marked, and the main streets can handle big rigs without difficulty. If you're coming from Brisbane, it's a 90-minute drive north through relatively flat terrain with good visibility and wide lanes.

The scenic route from the south follows the old Pacific Highway through Caboolture and Beerburrum, adding about 20 minutes but offering glimpses of the Glass House Mountains as you approach. This route has a few tighter corners but nothing problematic for most RVs. Fuel stops are plentiful along the Bruce Highway, with major truck stops at Caboolture and Beerwah offering diesel and easy caravan access.

Stock up on supplies before arriving, as Landsborough's shopping is limited to a small IGA and a few specialty stores. The nearest major shopping center is at Caloundra, 25 minutes east. Dump stations are available at both local caravan parks, so you won't need to hunt for facilities. The town's compact size means you can walk to the railway station museum and antique shops from most camping areas.
