Cape Palmerston Holiday Park
Cape Palmerston Holiday Park is a rural setting adjacent to the beach. It is based on 62 acres and offers a relaxing atmosphere complete with an outlook of the distinctive Mt Funnel, as well as kangaroos, wallabies and birds which kick about a bit closer to the campsites.
The caravan park is based at the northern end of Isaac Coast at 989 Greenhill Road in Ilbilbie. It is one hour south of Mackay and just 10 mins from Ilbilbie service station off the Bruce highway.
Caravans, RVs, motorhomes and campers are all encouraged to come and enjoy the largely undeveloped area.

General Comments
The park was set up on a 62 acre rural property with kangaroos and wallabies that greeted us on arrival.
There were a number of drive through powered sites on the side of the hill and a big open area for unpowered sites. The sites were large, well maintained and clean – the owners did a great job of mowing and landscaping the park.
There was an amenities block with a number of toilets and showers available, as well as a laundry room with new washing machines and dryers. It was all very well kept and clean.
Alongside the amenities there was a spacious camp kitchen and communal fit pit that campers were all welcome to use. At reception there was access to a small shop that sold basic supplies, ice and bait.
The park had its own access to the river where you could launch your boat on high tide and fish along the banks. It was within a few minutes drive of Cape Palmerston National Park and a great place to 4WD along the beach, check out some fishing spots, or just look at the magnificent scenery.
Overall a lovely place to stay.
