Have reason to spend a week in Mackay area in late April and can't find out much about camping or van parks in the area.

Does anybody know of somewhere not too expensive and not too far from Mt Vince area. Probably needs to be close to Mackay so that SWMBO can find entertainment during the day.

Thanx in advance

Mike

i remember one campground where i had to drive past all the permanents down to the back of the park. Finding a place to put the pegs in and at the same time avoiding all the dog turds proved too much of a challenge, I lumped the unmade tent into the car and found a great site with a camp kitchen and lots of shade

the last two on mr1927's list ring bells but unfortunately i can't remember which was which

Since you need to be close to Walkerston, i would suggest Kinchant Waters (leisure resort) at Kinchant Dam, just up the road. Ph (07) 4954 1453 ... It is the not a resort per se, more like the camping and bush hotel at the dam. With the water levels at or near 100%, it is nice to relax at and have a cold one.

It is not too far into Mackay from here.....

Kinchant dam is the one I was going to suggest - - but others are Ball Bay - 35k north - or Seaforth - 45k north - get in touch with Mackay City council or Visitor information re these.
