Glenlyon Dam Tourist Park

Glenlyon Dam Tourist Park is a straightforward spot right on the edge of Glenlyon Dam in Queensland. It offers powered and unpowered sites for caravans and tents, plus some basic cabins if you’re not keen on roughing it. The park is popular with anglers and families looking to spend some time near the water, but don’t expect anything flash.

The facilities include a camp kitchen and amenities block that are adequate, though a bit dated. There’s plenty of space for rigs of different sizes, but book ahead especially on weekends as it fills up with locals and holidaymakers. The dam itself is the main attraction, good for fishing and some water sports, though the amenities around the dam can be hit or miss.

Access is via The Glen Road, which can be a bit rough in wet weather, so plan accordingly. The park takes booking requests rather than instant online, so you’ll want to get in early if you’ve got a specific weekend in mind.
