Camping Grounds

Mackay is an unspoilt region of Australia that reflects the true Aussie Lifestyle - laid-back, relaxed and natural.  From the beaches to the depths of lush tropical rainforest, the Mackay Region has several large National Parks pulsating with abundant wildlife easily reached from major highways nearby.

Our coastal national parks such as Cape Hillsborough and Cape Palmerston, offer remote beaches, rocky foreshores and headlands.  Inland, at Eungella National Park you're among ancient rainforest, tumbling rivers and the home the unique 'Platypus'.  The drier Homevale National Park, and others inland, present fascinating, spectacular, deserted landscapes, awaiting your discovery.

It's easy, and fun, to camp, picnic and bushwalk in the national parks within Mackay Region.  You can walk but you cannot ride. Take nothing but photographs and leave nothing but footprints.
