Welcome to Johnno's Camper Trailers - Ipswich, Gateway to the Scenic Rim.
The Scenic Rim is a utopia of lush rainforests and spectacular landforms, home to ancient and rare creatures, within easy reach of Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Northern New South Wales.
Sweeping in an arc around river valleys, the Scenic Rim is enclosed by a series of ranges formed millions of years ago by dramatic volcanic activity. Stretching from the Main Range and Mt Barney National Parks in the west to Lamington National Park in the south, the Scenic Rim region encompasses the vibrant regional centres of Beaudesert, Boonah and Ipswich.
The Scenic Rim is the perfect symmetry of natural splendour, heritage charm and urban pleasures.
Enjoy wine in the vineyard it came from, stop at roadside stalls loaded with fresh produce from fertile volcanic soils or learn to cook with the region's natural spoils.
