Burnside Hill - Dunethin Rock Scout Campsite
Burnside Hill - Dunethin Rock Scout Campsite
Dunethin Rock Scout Camp and Water Activities Centre sits on 4 hectares of eucalyptus forest on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, with the Maroochy River a short walk away and Lake Dunethin just across the road.
The site is well suited to paddling, rafting, fishing, and swimming, and serves as a key access point for the Maroochy River Canoe Trail, a roughly 30-kilometre route running through the heart of the Sunshine Coast.
The camp takes its name from a local rock formation — "Dunethin" meaning "place of swimming trees" — reflecting the area's 1860s timber-logging history, when logs were floated down the Maroochy River here before being shipped to Brisbane sawmills.
Today the rock is valued for its summit views and forms part of the paddler's trail. A 15-minute bush walk leads to the rock, and a Heritage Pathway features mosaics marking 100 years of local history. Single stays are limited to 14 consecutive nights.
