Information

This is a National Parks camping area just a few kilometres off the Bruce Highway just north of Rollingstone and a bit further north of Townsville. It is reasonably spacious with camping areas under good shade. There are three larger spaces near the entrance suitable for caravans but smaller vans will fit into some of the other spaces. The camping area can be reached by conventional vehicles. It is accessible to camper trailers. Large caravans and buses larger than 22 seaters are not recommended because it is a relatively small area with a narrow access road through the camping area.

There is a good quality amenities block with flushing toilets and cold showers. The adjacent Big Crystal Creek has an excellent swimming hole that is very popular.

Bookings are required before setting up camp. Telstra coverage is uncertain in the camping area but available back towards the highway.
