Formerly known as "Mountain View Lake holiday park" . Relax in this peaceful, family friendly campground, nestled in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range and nearby Mount Elliot. Enjoy the 70 Acres of shady grounds with plenty of wildlife, including pretty faced wallabies and abundant birdlife. The 20-acre dam is full of fresh water from all the rain but is still weedy and muddy on the banks. Great for kayaking or SUP. On arrival simply pick a spot you like and set up camp. We do have internet reception. Occasionally reception can be weak depending on what the network is doing. Generally, it is not a problem. Bring Mosquito/sandfly spray especially if camping by the lake. Settle down of an evening sit back and enjoy the spectacular starry night sky. Campfires allowed. Fire rings are available scattered about the site, just roll one to your camp site. Wood for sale, $10 cash per milk crate, from camp kitchen. Please be honest and place cash in the 'honesty box'. Thankyou. Located conveniently 45 km South from Townsville and Magnetic Island ferry terminal, 45km north of Ayr, 8km north of Giru. Pet friendly. All dogs must be on a lead and under owners' control at all times. Dog poo must be picked up. No one wants to step in your dog's poo. Powered and unpowered sites available. Separate men and women's toilets and hot showers. Camp kitchen with shared fridges, gas rings x2, large gas BBQ, toaster, kettle, microwave and picnic tables. BYO cooking gear, plates, cups, utensils. Washing up sinks x2 -cold water only. Laundry tubs have hot water that can be used in kitchen sink. Coin washing machines available. ($2 x 2, BYO coins)

Lovely shade trees, very peaceful place, easy access. Long power lead required for some of the powered sites. Good grassed sites. If there at a really busy time the amenities, which were very clean, may be overcrowded, but as most vans, motorhomes have own amenities this would not be a problem to those people. Could do with a dump point. Good camp kitchen. Have recommended it to friends and we will be revisiting ourselves.

I loved camping here, we set up right on the lake and saw the best sunrises without getting eaten alive by mozzies. The kitchen was well equipped with a kettle, microwave and fridge / freezer. Not far from great hike at alligator creek. Bathroom and showers kept pretty clean.

Big drive through sites. Easy walk around the lake. Just off the highway and and very little traffic noise. Bathrooms were clean and kitchen access had everything you would need. Overall very nice place to stay.
