I love this camping area, when is User 2155634 going to learn to spell before criticising such a wonderful Free Camp. Just have to be self contained and enough fresh water, plus take your own rubbish out. If those services were supplied, imagine how many people would be there.

One of the best free camps we have stayed at. Beautiful views, right on the water. Saw some fresh water Crocs, plenty of kangaroos and birds.

Mick & Joan 25/8/19 Wonderful camp had a swim and a freshie was eyeing me off from a few metres away. He was less curious about me than other campers watching.

Spent this last week here (22/29.10.19) here. Fantastic. Just be aware that there are a few freshwater crocs in the water.

Awesome free camp. Massive open grassy space with multiple different separate areas to camp. Must be self sufficient so make sure you bring lots of water! We set up the van first then headed to Mary Kathleen up the road to see the old mine. Definitely worth the trip, it was incredible. About 8 other vans there too so it was good to feel safe

Thank you for this beautiful park. Not many here and very peaceful. Haven't seen any freshwater crocodiles. Shame some campers have no idea what self contained means.

POLICE have CLOSED both Corella dam and Clem Wharton park indefinately until virus over .We were all given 24 hours to leave. They were so nice but very regretful of their duty especially as there was very few of us who were very well isolated and complying with that Gov request of isolation.Well done Cloncurry police .Now regular patrols !
