Windorah Caravan Park

The Windorah Caravan Park is a classic outback oasis, offering a friendly and comfortable haven for travellers exploring the vast and beautiful landscapes of Queensland’s Channel Country. Located in the heart of the small but vibrant town of Windorah, this council-run park is the perfect base for resting up and discovering the region’s unique attractions. The park is well-known for its clean facilities and welcoming atmosphere, providing a much-needed touch of comfort in a remote area. It offers a good range of powered and unpowered sites, set on level, grassy ground with some shade, suitable for all types of rigs from tents to large caravans. The amenities are well-maintained, with hot showers, a laundry, and a camp kitchen, ensuring a pleasant stay. A key highlight is the park’s proximity to everything in town. Visitors are just a short stroll from the iconic Windorah Hotel, the local shop, and the Visitor Information Centre. This makes it incredibly easy to enjoy a classic outback pub meal, resupply, and learn about the local area. Windorah is a crucial stop on the journey between Quilpie and Birdsville, and the caravan park serves as the ideal base for visiting the innovative Solar Farm, fishing in Cooper Creek, or simply soaking in the incredible sunsets over the red sandhills just outside of town. For a comfortable, central, and friendly stay that captures the spirit of the Channel Country, the Windorah Caravan Park is an essential stop.
