National Parks and Reserves

Gil Weir is located on Dogwood Creek just six kilometres south of Miles township on the Leichhardt Highway.

Located 1 kilometre off the highway (sealed entry road), it is a lovely place to stop and let the world go past. This area is suitable for small vessels and paddle craft when water levels are at the correct height, with a concrete boat ramp to launch your tinny.

Facilities at the weir include toilets, wood-fired barbeques and picnic tables. Dogs are allowed at this free campsite but must be kept on a lead at all times.

Gil Weir is a quiet, relaxing camping spot where you can enjoy the birdlife and local pelicans who love to roost on the old trees across the creek. Park your caravan on the water’s edge or find a secluded spot under the trees.
