Burketown Caravan Park

Burketown Caravan Park is the go-to spot if you're passing through this outback Queensland town. It’s a no-frills caravan park with powered and unpowered sites, plus cabins if you don’t want to pitch a tent. The place can get a bit dusty and there’s not much shade, so bring a good hat and be ready for typical Gulf Country flies.

The facilities are basic but tidy – showers, toilets and laundry are all there. It’s right near the main street, so you’re close to the pub and the local shops. Booking is by request, so it’s best to sort it out ahead if you can, especially during the dry season when the park fills up.
