Big Bend Campground
Last Updated Jul 2017
This bush campground is a magic spot if you are into self sufficient camping, have a 4wd and like to fish.
There is no designated camping spots here and there are numerous opportunities for camping right on the waters edge.
It is a popular 4wd location and there are numerous tracks around the area worth exploring. Some lead to other areas that would be great to camp too, well worth a poke around before setting up camp.
Take care after rain, as the road in can become blocked where you cross a (normally) small creek.

Location information for Big Bend
This campsite is accessable with regular 2wd vehicles.
Big Bend is accesed off the Gregory Development Road about 28km north from Charters Towers. There is a small road sign indicating the turn (on the right when heading north).
Some of the camping areas can be accessed by 2wd vehicle however the campsites further in may require 4wd to access.
There is a small creek crossing which can turn into a raging torrent after heavy rain. There is some sandy sections and it is a bit windy so 4wd is required. You could get a camper trailer in, however there are some tight bends and boggy sections so use your discretion.
