About this campsite

Bushy Parker Park is a lush, shaded oasis perfect for overnight stays. Conveniently positioned next to a scenic creek and swimming hole, this place is an ideal reprieve from one's journey. However, don't forget your mosquito repellent to ensure a comfortable stay. The park offers expansive, shady sites with clean amenities, and even features a handy dump point as well as garbage bins. Adding to the convenience, each camping site is equipped with individual water taps. A highlight of the location is its close proximity to essential services. A general store for all your needs, a pub for leisurely relaxation, and a fuel station are all within a short walking distance. A really charming aspect of the park is the crystal-clear creek that tranquilly flows nearby, enhancing the serene feel of the spacious, grassy terrain beautifully complemented with shady trees. This popular spot has enough room for approximately 30 vehicles. To secure a spot, it is recommended to arrive early, especially on Saturdays when nearby locals crowd the pub with an entertaining heavy metal rock band performance. The park is regularly patrolled by the seasoned Rangers from the Townsville Regional Council, ensuring safety and adherence to the site rules. With refreshing natural features and essential facilities, Bushy Parker Park offers an experience of comfort amidst nature's lap.
