TOOMULLA PARK

Public BBQ

Toomulla Park offers an exceptional free camping experience that draws visitors back time and again. This expansive flat camping area provides excellent access for large rigs, with the choice between sunny spots perfect for solar charging or shaded sites beneath established trees. The park's popularity means spaces fill quickly by afternoon, so early arrival ensures the best selection. The waterfront location features a convenient boat ramp and stunning tidal changes that transform the beach throughout the day. Wildlife encounters are virtually guaranteed - crocodiles bask along the creek banks while scrub turkeys and goannas patrol the grounds, creating memorable moments for families. The substantial playground equipment keeps children entertained, though visitors should pack insect repellent for mossies and sandflies. Essential facilities include clean toilets, water taps, and barbecue areas, all maintained to high standards. The easy booking system via QR code or Townsville Council phone makes planning simple. With a two-night limit and no mobile reception, this spot encourages genuine disconnection while remaining accessible to town amenities.
