Winton camping

James,

In my opinion, that park is a dump.

We stayed at the back of the North Gregory Hotel last year. It is free and they provide showers and toilets, but no power.

If you need a caravan park, the Matilda Country Tourist Park
43 Chirnside Street WINTON QLD 4735 on the Longreach side of town is the best. See Matilda Country Tourist Park

Cheers,

I stayed at Matilda Country Tourist Park last year and although crammed in by around 5pm it was certainly ok. Next time I am through there though I will see if I can fit in behind the North Gregory - looked just as good to me for a night or two. The Nth Gregory was full when I was there but I had booked for the MCTP in any case as there had been rain and all parks were full and many free camps inaccessible.
Enjoy!

The Pelican Fuel Stop in Winton is a real s----hole.The Matilda Country c,van park is good,it can be dusty or muddy-dependant on weather,but,the camping section was always nicely grassed.I have stopped here fairly often over the last year or two as my family comes from there.
Possibly the Bladensburg National Park camping areas out side of town could suit also but you would need to be pretty well self gontained.

Sorry,self"contained".

Thanks for the honest replys. I wouldn't expect any less from this great forum. The Matilda would probably be the best bet for me and my travelling companions. The bar of the Nth Gregory might be too close for an early night. LOL

Cheers

Stopped at the Pelican in 06 and wouldn't recommend it at all.

Stayed at the Matilda C/Van Park last May, good clean amenities and friendly atmosphere. They also have a bush poet for entertainment through winter, around their camp fire... last year it was Milton Taylor who was a very entertaining man! Thoroughly recommend his "show"....

Cheers

You won't be sorry with the Matilda - was in there for 3 nights last May - weather was excellent but - standard of amenties is quite ok - the resident bush poet (Milton Taylor) sets a very high standard in that game - he is worth the $ alone !

Beware early July in the Matilda C/P. 115 Year 6 kids from A B Paterson College (Gold Coast) will be camping there for a couple of nights. It's part of their 'heritage tour' and an interesting part of their education. Don't worry, they're great kids but if you prefer to avoid a crowd then this might not be for you. If you are there at the time we are then please feel free to talk to us. I'll be there too!
