Fruit Farm Camp offers a peaceful retreat for mature travellers. The unpowered mown campsites are situated ajacent to a farm unfenced dam and on cleared acreage surrounded by natural bush. After 6 months touring Queensland in 2021 with our own caravan, we decided to develop a picturesque area at the back of our land for mature travellers to enjoy. 20 Years ago the land was virgin scrub, now there are over 300 established different exotic fruit, nut, spice and bush tucker trees and plants. We use a number of different farming techniques. Our own beehives provide pollination and honey. A small farm produce shop is available. Guests have access to a toilet, solar powered showers and the camp kitchen throughout their stay. Campfires are permitted outside of restrictions and we have firewood available for guests to use on site. There is a 1.5 km undulating bush walk on the property requiring average fitness. We are located four kilometres from the Bruce Highway at Bloomsbury, access is via sealed road then 300m of gravel road through the farm. We are just 10 mins from the beach or O'Connell river fishing, 1 hour to Mackay or Airlie Beach, 3 kms to the Dittman Bullarama site and 15 minutes to Bredls Wild Farm. Well behaved pets are welcome. Extras: Fruit tasting and guided Farm tour available when staying 2 nights or more. Honey and farm produce for sale. Free book exchange.

Access is best suited to 4WD or High Clearance vehicles. Not suitable for small cars. The site is suitable for caravans/trailers 6 metres long or smaller.

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

Well set up, friendly and responsive hosts. We loved that you could choose your own spot and there weren't designated spots which can get cramped when busy. Some permanents living there but away from the camping area. We were lucky to be the only ones there. Small creek to cross on entrance so be mindful before booking if theres been heavy rain. Definitely recommend, thanks for having us!

The best camping in Conway National Park, QLD guide

Overview

About

Conway National Park invites adventurers to explore its lush rainforest trails, secluded beaches, and panoramic vistas. With opportunities for bush camping, walking, and cycling, the park offers a serene escape into nature's embrace. Whether you're pitching a tent under the stars or venturing through the diverse landscapes, Conway National Park is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts.

Notable campgrounds

  • Swamp Bay camping area: Nestled by the beach, this site offers stunning views of the Molle islands and a coral-strewn shoreline.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book online in advance to secure your preferred camping spot amid the park's natural beauty.
  • Plan your visit outside of peak seasons for a better chance at available sites.
  • Keep an eye on park alerts for updates on campground availability and conditions.
  • Explore nearby camping options if your desired site is fully booked.

When to go

The best time to visit Conway National Park is during the dry season from May to September, offering comfortable temperatures and clear skies. The wet season from January to March brings high humidity and rainfall, making conditions less ideal for outdoor activities.

Know before you go

  • Check weather forecasts and park alerts before your visit for safety and closure updates.
  • Bring your own drinking water, as reliable sources are not available in the park.
  • Be prepared for encounters with wildlife and always stay alert on the trails.
  • Remember that domestic animals are not permitted within the park boundaries.
  • Respect the park's natural and cultural heritage by following all guidelines and staying on designated paths.

We visited Airlie beach for the restaurants & to go out on a Whitsunday tour. We were hoping Conway NP had good short hikes to showcase the area however we were disappointed with the NP poorly maintained walks & not a great deal of quality walks available. We are long term hikers & can compare with a lot of other NP in Queensland.
