We stayed at Vanessa& Craig’s place for the last 3 nights. They are great friendly hosts. Beautiful well kept gardens & lawn. Lovely breeze, we camped next to the dam. It was good to have power and a tap to top up our water in the van. Close to Midge Point and Laguna Quays. We did some fishing and got a feed of crab. I did the hill climb at the back of the property. Great views through the trees. We would recommend this campground to anyone wanting a nice quiet place to stay. The frogs in the dam put on a good concert at night.

This spot was amazing! Even if the camp next to you had a party, I doubt you would hear them the camp sites are that far apart. Cracking spot for fishing and crabbing, although I didn’t catch any fish (definitely a me issue, not the spot) and I caught plenty of crab (only 2 keepers unfortunately) and it was nice in the afternoons going for walks and cows coming for a visit of a night time. 10/10 in my opinion.

Very cost effective so you can spend more time at the beach and out snorkeling! Super convenient location. Shops nearby. Bit of noise from neighbours but safe location and Kyle was a brilliant host.

Well set out camping area. Plenty of grass due to recent rain. Quiet, good place to get away from the city life. Creek was flowing enough to sit in and cool down.

Good spot to camp. Nice and quiet. Area nicely grassed and mowed,fairly level . Unfortunately no campfire. Total fire ban. Didn't miss it. Creek was running enough to go sit in. Had rain second night. Definately will be going into our favourite's list to return. Saw an echidna, wallabies, galahs, kookaburras. Plenty of area for kids to run around in. Just a word advice though: if you don't know how to drive on soft river sand, don't venture there.

Wonderful spot , spacious with the most amazing sunsets and sunrises. Firepits available and our 2 dogs loved the space. So nice that they allow dogs off leash, providing they are under effective control. Close to town only 5-10mins. Dam was full of wildlife from birds, to fish. Highley recommend, neat mowed paddock

Experience the quiet serenity of Midge Point. Midge Point is situated in Repulse Bay which is at the southern end of the Whitsunday Passage. There is 1 island group within Repulse Bay - the Repulse Islands & 2 other islands - Midge Island & Gould Island plus a multitude of estuary creeks and rivers. All are accessible by tinny from Midge Point. Our camp/caravan site is level with shaded areas and water available. It is a 2-minute walk to the water. Pets are welcome. There is plenty of firewood and a brazier on site for evening campfires and cooking. Midge Point has a small shopping centre, post office and tavern bistro. Beautiful beaches with some of the best fishing and crabbing in the region. Keen anglers now have the availability of the newly constructed boat ramp, off Jimmy Rocks Road. All are only 5 minutes down the road. Airlie Beach is only 45 minutes away, with access to the islands and reef. The airport is only 20 minutes away and a further 5 minutes to Proserpine.
