The Leap Campground

Nestled along the Bruce Highway in The Leap, Queensland, The Leap Hotel offers a unique blend of history, hospitality, and adventure. Established in 1867, the hotel stands as a testament to the area's rich past, notably the legend of Kowaha, an Aboriginal woman who leapt from Mount Mandarana to evade capture. Visitors can explore this poignant history through a monument and a mini-museum within the hotel. The hotel provides a free overnight camping area for self-sufficient travelers, with caravans and motorhomes accommodated on the top flat area, and tents, cars, and trailers around the banana patch. Amenities include toilets, and guests are encouraged to support the hotel with a purchase or meal. The on-site restaurant and café serve hearty meals, making it a favored stop for both locals and travelers. For those seeking adventure, the nearby The Leap Lookout offers a challenging hike with rewarding panoramic views. Whether you're passing through or planning a longer stay, The Leap Hotel provides a welcoming and memorable experience.
