caravan parks in Longreach

I prefer to stay in Ilfracombe. Much friendlier park.

The free camp Motherhen mentioned, 4 kilometers out of town is quite good. Dusty in the wind and if it is going to rain, the black soil turns to mud quickly.

You did not say if you have kids. You can get 60 caravans there so safety is good. There is only one toilet block as well.

We stayed at the Gunnadoo Caravan Park in Thrush St just on the town side of the Stockman's Hall Of Fame back in 2006. The park was ok for us. I think it may have changed names to Discovery Holiday Parks - Longreach. We certainly enjoyed the bush poets that entertained us by the campfire.

I have stayed in both parks in Longreach, and I am not rapt in either.
They both get extremely crowded during the tourist season, and they pack em in like sardines in the small park.

The larger park near the Stockman's Hall of fame IMHO is better but is pretty barren if it gets hot. As you look at the verdant vegetation at the SHOF , you become envious of the shade as little effort seems to have been made to plant trees. Aside from that it is quite good with clean facilities and a welcome pool.

If you decide to stay at Illfracombe its only a short drive to the big smoke [Longreach] , ask if Hannah is doing some of her bush poetry , " Grandma and the snake" will have you in stitches.

I think you can also stay at the Showgrounds, not cheap but same as the other parks. The free camp on the river is disgraceful, last time there the toilet block was out of action due to fire damage.

Agree with other posts that Ilfracombe is a far better bet.
