Hi Everyone
I'm seeking anybody's experience with camping in
Eungella National Park. According to the EPA site there is only 1
campground at Fern Flat. And then you need to walk in 600 metres (quite a walk with a fridge!). Are the sites large enough to accomodate a family of 4? Any information/tips/advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Yes it is small, though it depends on how much you spread out to
camp.
Head down the road a couple k's to
Eungella Dam and
camp if you need more room....room to spread out though it is diferent countryside than fern flats.
Depending on your vehicle and your situation you can also
camp with no facilities at "the diggings", simple camping at Credition Hall, and at
Denham Range
Camping Area (my pick due to the
views west).
Check out the Mackay Highlands Great Walk page on EPA website for the details.....map of the locations here :

Hope that helps

I heartily recommend the
Denham Range
Camping Area. Lots of good wooded sites and, as Andrew pointed out, it has fabulous western
views. The bush around the
campground is very attractive with lots of birds. There is a
water tank there also. It is probably a 4WD only track - it would be a bit of a job in a family car. A really splendid spot.

Hi Andrew,
Where is "the diggings"?
I can see Diggings Road but no
campground in that area.
Cheers

We camped at
Eungella Dam..lots of space and good campspot. We then took the pipe line road around to
Nebo..which is a really interesting drive.

Eungalla
Dam is a good
camp only spoiled by the stupid kids on trailbikes they were even doing burnouts on the timber walkway up to the ablution block!
The resident
Ranger was not interested. Shame because it is a great spot, lots more water there now.
