Oaks Rush Outback Resort

Oaks Rush Outback Resort sits on Gilberton Rd near Kidston, Queensland. It’s one of those spots that’s handy if you’re passing through and want to camp or park a van without expecting much in the way of frills. The site offers powered and unpowered sites, and there’s a pool if the heat gets to you.

Booking is by request rather than instant, so you’ll want to plan ahead if you’re rolling in during peak times. The facilities are basic but functional, with showers and toilets on site. It’s quite remote, so don’t expect mobile reception to be reliable.

If you’re into fossicking or checking out the old Kidston gold mine area, this place is about as close as you’ll get for a proper campsite. Just don’t expect a resort experience – it’s more a practical overnight stop with some creature comforts.
