Welcome to Crystal Ridge, a peaceful location where you can enjoy peace and privacy. Campers can fish, swim, bird watch or just relax by the water and watch the cows grazing around the property.  Nearby you'll find Mount Spec, Paluma Range National Park straddles the summit and escarpment of the Paluma Range, rising 1,000m above the Big Crystal Creek floodplain. This is the most southerly national park in the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. Located approximately 45 minutes north of Townsville on the Bruce Highway, Mutarnee is a small peaceful hamlet nestled on the banks of beautiful Crystal Creek. At the local caravan park there's a small shop and service station and just a minute down the road you'll find the Crystal Creek boat ramp.  There is great bushwalks in the area and place to mountain bike. Any camping set up is welcome to pull up on the flat, grassy site. You are welcome to bring your pet, but please ensure they are kept on a leash and under control.

Site 1 - Crystal Ridge
Camping with dogs
This spot was amazing, water was clear and perfect temperature. Plenty of space for all vehicles and set ups. Sadly we didn’t get to have a fire as it was raining the first night and didn’t know if it was going to the second night as there were clouds, but the rain didn’t affect us we still had an amazing time. I would highly recommend this spot. The pet friendly was great especially as we have a reactive dog so public camp and swimming spots is always a little risky not knowing what other dogs we could come across. Instructions to get there were easy, communication was great.

Lovely quiet site with crystal creek. Would stay here again. Would recommend booking a couple of days in advance and getting the gate code as we had a little trouble getting in, but all sorted in the end. If both sites are booked it’s slightly less private, but still lovely.

Nice tidy site, beautiful clear water, and only 2 camp sites, so doesn't feel crowded. Owner was polite and quick to respond, so will definitely stay there again.
