Wongalea is a picturesque 4,500 acre cattle property, with a 1 km frontage on the Macintyre River, near Yetman (close to the Qld border). Fish the river for Yellowbelly, Cod or just sit back and relax. Enjoy the abundant birdlife and wildlife. Have a swim, go kayaking or cook up some yummy damper in the campfire. Maybe even a bushwalk in the hills. There is also secluded bush camping available on the property with abundant wildlife! 4WD only. Our picturesque campsite has plenty of room for singles, families and groups. We have room for tents, caravans and campers. Dogs are welcome.

The campsite by the river offers a serene and picturesque environment, perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat. With friendly and accommodating hosts, the site is well-maintained, featuring clean facilities and ample space for both group and solo camping experiences. While most visitors rave about the swimming and fishing opportunities, a few mention the need for better river access and maintenance. Despite this, the overall experience is highly positive, with many eager to return and enjoy the natural beauty and tranquility.

Camping with Louie at Lionel’s
Lionel’s place was great, he met us on arrival so we knew exactly where to go. Awesome views, peaceful and such a great location. We were able to bring our vizsla Louie who just had the best time swimming and running around freely. We loved swimming and camping here. Unfortunately a big storm rolled in but we will be back to enjoy this beautiful spot.
