Former home of the Palm Creek Folk Festival. Relax in this peaceful, family friendly campground, nestled in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range and nearby Mount Elliot. Pick a spot and set up camp. Enjoy the 70 acres of shady grounds with plenty of wildlife, including pretty face wallabies and abundant birdlife. The 20-acre dam is great for non-motorised water sports where you can paddle about on your kayak, canoe or SUP. Please be aware entry to the dam is a very muddy and there is a lot of weed at the moment. However, the water is beautiful and fresh once you get further in. 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 at $10 cash per milk crate, from camp kitchen. Please 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 .

Great Spot
We really loved the close proximity to Townsville, the beautiful grounds that welcomed dogs and campfires. Wayne and Cathy were also very accommodating. The drive through sites were also a plus. We will definitely come again 👍

Book this place. It’s magic!
Wow! This location is absolutely beautiful. With the lake at the front and the mountain behind, there are views in every direction. There’s a real serenity here that we haven’t experienced in all our travels so far. We felt so at home and could have stayed longer than the week we booked. Both our cat and dog loved the stay too. Before arriving and settling in, we were worried we’d feel a bit isolated and bored (being 30 mins to Townsville). But this was not the case. Yes we took a day trip to Townsville, which was beautiful, and another trip over to the magnificent Magnetic Island, but we found it hard to drag ourselves away from our little home environment at Mountain View. We met with the owner Cathy and she came around for a chat most days, which was really lovely. We didn’t use the showers or the kitchen, which were both very clean, but we did get a crate of chopped wood ($10) and collected sticks to make a fire each night in the supplied fire pit at our site. We stayed in a power and water site and had everything we needed for a really magical time. Many thanks to Cathy for her kind hospitality and gorgeous holiday park. This is an absolute gem.

What a spot!!
What a spot! We booked last minute (about 20 minutes prior to arrival). The check in was smooth and we had the most magical spot by the water. The kids played all afternoon under the trees and the walk around the lake in the morning was the perfect way to start the day. Highly recommend. Thanks
