The camp here is on the Burnett River at the bridge crossing of the Gayndah - Mt Perry Road. Approximately half the distance through is gravel with some really deep pot-holes. It was raining on our way in so the car and van was covered in red mud. The river is enlarged because the back waters of the Paradise Dam wall reaches the 26 km back here to Mingo Crossing. The camp here is excellent with established concrete pads for caravans and motor-homes and 'acres' of space for campers like us. The amenities are excellent with septic toilets and hot showers. There is also a laundry facility. But, like the Paradise camp, there is not much to do here except for working puzzles and reading novels. Also of course, if you have a boat the fishing is good. Our arrival and departure to/from here was timely. A fishing club departed here just prior to our arrival and following our departure the camp is almost booked out with motor-homes from the CMCA Wide Bay Wanderers.

Sorry to say it doesn't look like that anymore. The whole thing was destroyed in the floods recently, they lost everything and will need to rebuild it all.
