Caravan parks in Bourke?

G'day Jim

I have stayed at the Kidman Camp a few times and can recommend it. It's far enough out of Bourke for the locals not to come by in the wee small hours and the facilities are good. Trucks can be a bit noisy on the road from Cunnamulla but they have never bothered me much. We'll be staying there when we take a trip in about 2 months en route to the Coopers on the Birdsville track and beyond.

Cheers

Jim Hi,
The managers at Kidman are very friendly & helpful, offered assistance when I had a couple of small problems Park would be the pick in Bourke.
The paddle wheeler that cruises the Darling from the park is an excellent way to spend a couple of hours (cheap too).

Definitely Kidman - for the reasons mentioned in other replies.

Ditto - Kidman is good.

yes, good facilities and plenty of showers.
camp kitchen is also good.
With the rain out that way it would look like a coastal park.
Also heard the fish are biting with the Darling being a decent walking distance.
Shame the North Bourke pub burnt down.

Had about the worst camping experience of my life at the one on the road east from Bourke to Walgett , I think the Mitchell on Mitchell St which turned out to be the highway.

Every B double in the world went past all night and the fence was what felt like 6 inches from the road edge but was in fact about 3 metres.

When we drove past the Kidman in the morning we kicked ourselves for not taking the trouble to drive out of town to find it, as it was a hundred metres or so back from thehighway North.

Jim, as said above, don't bother anywhere else other than Kidman's. You won't be disapointed mate.

Yeah, I'd stay out of town, unless you like the smell of barbed wire in the morning

oh DONT go barefoot ANWHERE!!!!!
honeslty we were there on tuesday and hopped out the car no shoes on to pee and got these AWFUL prickles in our feet. i dont just mean one or 2...but 100 of them. they look like grass seeds on the grass but go right under your skin ARGH no bare feet!!!!!

i grew upo in the bush and never wore shoes. then when i wasa bit older we moved to port elliot and sill never wore shoes. id go rock climbing and all sorts. every 6 months wed go back to our old place still no shoes. but then we never had prickles LOL....and since ive been living in the city its shoes everywhere there is so much glass and the other day i saw a needle in a crossing on the road in the grden bed (where there is no path to cross)
these prickes were like 3 corner jacks just you couldnt see them until they we planted in your feet hahah and yeah learnt to put my shoes on every stop after that i dont we stopped in broek nhill long enough for me to find out LOL

So there we are then most go for kidman , if you like being packed in fair enough .
Mitchell will be where i stay again , no probs at all and never heard a truck , tour bus picks up at front gate , though you will find it hard to get a smile from caretakers.

I am currently sitting in the Mitchell Caravan Park in Bourke. It is an excellent park, with far more room on the sites than Kidman Camp, a very nice environment, and close to the facilities in town. I am parked against the wire fence along the highway, but the trucks have not interfered with our enjoyment of the park. The only down side is that there are only two male and two female toilets and showers apart from the en suite sites, but having said that, only once in 3 days did I find a full house. The other advantage of the Mitchell is that it is dog friendly, whereas Kidman Camp is not. The cruise on the PV Jandra, which starts and finishes at Kidman Camp is outstanding, as is the Back 'o Bourke Exhibition.
