Lowood is located in the beautiful Somerset region of Queensland, just 66 kilometres west of the state’s capital. The town has a relaxed country lifestyle, despite its close proximity to the city, and retains much of its historical charm from the late 1800s. Lowood developed into a bustling railway town with the arrival of the first section of the Brisbane Valley Railway in 1884, and was the centre of commerce delivering cotton, horticultural produce and beef to the Brisbane markets from the late 1800’s to the 1980s. Water enthusiasts are attracted to Atkinson Dam for power boating and water skiing or, on land, the energetic may choose to horse ride, cycle or walk the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail east to Fernvale or north to Coominya. The Lowood Showground, on Station Street, provides a dump point and potable water as well as convenient facilities including showers, toilets, water and powered sites. Visitors can stay for up to seven nights, with unpowered sites starting from only $20 per vehicle per night and powered sites $25 per vehicle per night.Lowood is a wonderful place to visit, especially for RV travellers. Tourist/Visitor Centre       Fernvale Visitor Futures Complex1483 Brisbane Valley HighwayFernvale, QLD 4306P: 07 5427 0200Casual Parking       Railway Park, Railway St, LowoodShort- & Long-Term Parking        Lowood Showground, Station St, Lowood. $20pvpn non per;$25pvpn per, (7nt limit), toilets, showers, bins, water, pets ok.
