The beautiful town of Gatton is located approximately 90km west of Brisbane in the heart of the Lockyer Valley. There are a number of agricultural areas running the length of the East Coast of Queensland and Gatton is such a key, year-round part of this chain that it is fondly referred to as the ‘Salad Bowl’ of Australia.

Gatton Caravan Park is conveniently positioned in the township of Gatton and aims to meet the needs of working backpackers by specialising in budget accommodation with a community-focus.
