About this campsite

Gum Hole Camping Area, situated in the expansive Diamantina National Park, offers a truly unique camping experience amidst diverse landscapes, from weathered sandstone ranges to dune-fields. Created in 1992 from a former pastoral holding, the park is a sanctuary for a multitude of rare and threatened species. With strategic positioning along vital wetlands like Lake Constance and Hunters Gorge, Gum Hole offers campers the chance to witness an array of resident and migratory birds. In this camp, tranquility is redefined with coolibah tree shaded rest areas, creekside relaxation spots, and awe-inspiring sunsets.

This 507,000 hectare park is home to many rare and threatened species. Lake Constance and Hunters Gorge are important wetlands and support breeding populations of many resident and migratory birds. Diamantina National Park was formerly a pastoral holding and became a national park in 1992. It sweeps across highly weathered sandstone ranges in the east, down to the floodplains of the Diamantina River and its tributaries, then across Mitchell grass plains to dune-fields reminiscent of deserts further west.
