For those who are self contained and what a peaceful site with 360 degree views, birds, two dams & a delightful host. This site is just 9k out of Mareeba. A great base to explore the area from. $5 pp great value.

We are heading up to Tin Can Bay from Port Stephens, in a small caravan in June, and looking for suggestions for an overnight stop between Tenterfield and Stanthorpe. Don't need anything flash, but a shower and a place to get a feed and a drink would be a bonus. Otherwise just a nice quiet out-of-the-way...

Leaving Rockhampton on or around the end of this month, and heading for MacKay and then to Townsville. Are there any budget priced C.P's or low cost camping spots on the way? Toilets & showers would be great, but toilets are a necessity. Towing a small van. Many thanks Peterpan.

Been here a couple of days. Quiet, a bit exposed to the weather but close to the town which is just as well because there's no facilities here at all. Just behind the steam train museum -32.97545 138.823132.
