Toowoomba sits 700 metres above sea level on the Great Dividing Range, making it one of Australia's largest inland cities and earning it the nickname "The Garden City" for its 150-plus public parks and gardens. The Cobb+Co Museum on Lindsay Street houses the world's largest collection of horse-drawn vehicles, while the Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery on Ruthven Street showcases Queensland art spanning more than a century. Queens Park, established in 1869, covers 25 hectares of manicured lawns, a botanic garden and a small zoo — ideal for a morning stroll before hitting the road. For panoramic views, Picnic Point Lookout peers across the Lockyer Valley and is just a short drive from the city centre. Brisbane lies roughly 125 km to the east via the Warrego Highway, and the Darling Downs wine region around Stanthorpe begins about 160 km to the south, giving you plenty of scope for day trips or longer adventures. The surrounding plateau roads are wide and well-maintained, suiting larger vehicles nicely. With Yescapa you can hire a campervan or motorhome directly from a local owner in the Toowoomba area, which often means flexible pick-up arrangements and helpful insider tips on the best spots to explore across the Downs and beyond.
Toowoomba's famous Carnival of Flowers runs each September, filling parks with spectacular floral displays and drawing visitors from across Queensland — it is a wonderful time to explore the city by campervan. The Toowoomba Royal Show in March or April is another highlight worth planning around. Winter months from June to August bring crisp, clear days on the range, with comfortable driving conditions and quieter campsites. Summer is warm yet cooler than the lowlands, so Toowoomba suits year-round travel. Book your motorhome through Yescapa to enjoy competitive peer-to-peer pricing, especially outside peak festival weekends.

Drive 60 km north-east from Toowoomba to Lake Cressbrook, a peaceful spot for fishing and kayaking surrounded by eucalypt woodland. Perseverance Dam is a worthwhile detour along the way. Free camping areas near the lake suit self-contained campervans, and the roads are sealed throughout.

The Toowoomba region offers a good mix of campsites suited to both campervans and motorhomes. You will find well-equipped parks within the city itself, plus quieter rural options on the surrounding Darling Downs. Most sites provide powered pitches, dump points, hot showers and laundry facilities, so you can recharge between adventures. Whether you prefer a base close to Toowoomba's cafés and gardens or a peaceful paddock setting, there is something to match your travel style.
Toowoomba is generally welcoming to larger vehicles, with several car parks in the CBD offering generous bays. Overnight parking in public streets is permitted unless signposted otherwise, though always check local council notices. For longer stays, dedicated caravan-friendly areas on the city fringe provide a convenient base while you explore on foot.
We hired Trina for 5 nights earlier this July. My girlfriend and I had a fantastic time on the island. Jandro was incredibly helpful, always on hand before and during the trip to answer any questions which really helped us navigate the island and enjoy our trip. The vehicle was fantastic, an incredible experience to drive. All the amenities were brilliant as well. I would highly recommend using Jandro and one of his vans for a fantastic Mallorca experience!
Communication with the owner was great, van was immaculate, heaps of choice, love the peer to peer concept. Easy to add an extra driver and ID checks were very thorough but straightforward. Changing dates wasn't so easy, the owner was great, but the process at the back end took some manual effort. Teething problems, not a big deal. Main area that needs improving (for me anyway) is the deposit. There was a single line in a table stating Deposit: cash or transfer, that I hadn't seen. The owner asked for the cash or a transfer when we were at the car, which he explained was normal process, but Yescapa could have explained beforehand. I transferred €2000 directly to the owner, which didn't feel comfortable. I had expected this would all be done via Yescapa. I ended up losing €45 in exchange rate variations + fees as well, the owner's bank had challenges which meant it to 5 days to get a lot of cash back. It was lucky we had that amount at hand. I would use Yescapa again. I hope they can tidy up and improve the processes though.
Very easy and open person… all went well , on time and with all the agremants.
Incredible time spent across the south of France with an incredible van! From beach, lakes, mountains and fields, it got me places I didn’t even pre conceive. Can’t speak more highly of my over all experience from van collection at train station to drop off. Drives smoother than my Suzuki jimny and can confirm very 6ft 4 friendly.
We had an amazing experience hiring Eli's campervan! It was perfect for our family of four – myself, my partner, and our two young daughters. The van was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our trip. It was easy to drive, well-equipped, and made exploring the malaga so much more enjoyable. The owners were friendly, helpful, and made the whole rental process smooth from start to finish. We made some unforgettable family memories and wouldn't hesitate to rent this campervan again. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a fun, comfortable, and hassle-free adventure in Spain. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had a great experience. All went smoothly and the camper van was perfect. Mike was very accommodating and communicative throughout and we would recommend highly.
