Lovely place
Great spot lovely people and so quiet and away from the main road.

Close to Mackay
Beautiful location on the creek, close to Mackay. The host was very accommodating and responsive.
The camp site is advertised for vehicles under 10m, and our vehicle is 16m, so we checked first before booking., and the host thought we we should be able to get in. On arrival, the entry is very rough, tight, and narrow (we had 25mm clearance on each side when turning into the laneway). I would not recommend for large setups like ours, but it would be suitable for tents and campervans.
The camp-site slopes down to the creek, so it was hard to get the van level. It would probably work better if the area was slashed a bit further up the bank where it levels out a little bit more.
Overall, very peaceful, picturesque location and would be a great spot if you are looking for a camp site close to Mackay.

Lovely quiet camp with running creek. We were the only campers so private as well.

Leila Bank Camping
Beautiful spot so close to Mackay. Very serene with a flowing creek that gives a lovely relaxing sound all day and night. Very spacious so can spread out and have privacy if you wish. Darryl as host is very friendly and accomodating.

Camp was private, clean and serene. The host was extremely responsive and helped us out when we needed immediately, he even made our toddlers day by giving him a ride in his buggy.
We did have some dramas setting up as the mowed strip was all directly under gums which are known to randomly drop branches, and further back away from the gums was slightly sloped.
The dam looked spectacular and had all the things needed for a fun time (rope swings, slides, big fish etc) but couldn’t be used due to a swamp weed infestation, even though it was still advertised it was available for use.
Would also have been nice if the toilet was de-spidered a bit before arrival, and the path down to the creek maintained a bit more (Ie blowing the tree fronds off), but for the price it was acceptable.
