The Lake, Quilpie

The Lake at Quilpie is a caravan park located just off the Diamantina Developmental Road, about 4km east of Quilpie. If you're driving in, keep an eye out for the orange caravan near the Old Charleville Road turnoff across the railway line — that’s your marker. It’s a quiet spot, basic but functional, suited to travellers needing a place to park their rig and rest up without fuss.

The park offers powered and unpowered sites with easy access for larger vehicles. Booking is by request, so it’s best to arrange your spot ahead to avoid disappointment, especially during peak times. Don’t expect resort-style facilities — it’s more about convenience and being close to town services than luxury.

Facilities typically include toilets, showers, and a dump point. The location is handy for those passing through or exploring the western Queensland outback. Keep in mind that mobile phone coverage can be patchy, and it’s a good idea to stock up on supplies in Quilpie before heading out.
