Former home of the Palm Creek Folk Festival. Relax in this peaceful, family friendly campground, nestled in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range and nearby Mount Elliot. Enjoy the 70 Acres of shady grounds with plenty of wildlife, including pretty faced wallabies and abundant birdlife. On arrival simply pick a spot you like and set up camp. We do have internet reception. Occasionally reception can be weak depending on what the network is doing. Generally, it is not a problem. The 20-acre dam is evaporating fast and not so good for swimming or kayaking at the moment (From September 2024) ,but the birds are loving it! So... good for bird watchers! Bring Mosquito/sandfly spray especially if camping by the lake. Settle down of an evening sit back and enjoy the spectacular starry night sky. Campfires allowed. Fire rings are available scattered about the site, just roll one to your camp site. Wood for sale, $10 cash per milk crate, from camp kitchen. Please be honest and place cash in the 'honesty box'. Thankyou. Located conveniently 45 km South from Townsville and Magnetic Island ferry terminal, 45km north of Ayr, 8km north of Giru. Pet friendly. All dogs must be on a lead and under owners' control at all times. Dog poo must be picked up. No one wants to step in your dog's poo. Powered and unpowered sites available.

A gem!
A gem! A very picturesque site with lake on one side and hills on the other. It was flat with plenty of shade.. The amenities block was very clean. Far enough away from the road for it not to be an issue. It was great to have our campfire and to have our four legged friend welcome.

Travelling with our two dogs
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mountain View , so relaxing and plenty of space to relax with our two dogs. Amenities were clean and nice showers. The large lake is a real plus with all the bird life and nice around a fire at night. Cathy and Wayne are lovely helpful hosts.
