Broken River Bush Camp

Broken River Bush Camp sits within Eungella National Park, roughly 86 kilometres west of Mackay along the Mackay–Eungella Road, adjacent to Broken River.

The camp is set among natural bushland and is accessible via sealed 2WD roads, though the steep climb up the Clarke Range demands caution, particularly for caravans and larger vehicles.

The area is best known for reliable platypus sightings in the river, and visitors also report rock wallabies and rainforest birdlife nearby. With only a handful of pitches, the camp suits tents, camper trailers, caravans, and motorhomes.

Non-flush toilets are provided, campfires are permitted in designated fireplaces, and generators are allowed under certain conditions. Mobile phone coverage is unavailable at the campsite itself; the nearest reception is at the Sky Window Day Use Area.

Advance booking through the Queensland National Parks system is strongly recommended.
