About this campsite

Quilpie Shire-managed free campsite in South West Queensland with caravan and tent sites. Basic stopover in remote Outback near Ambathala Creek waterway.

Ambathala Creek is a free campsite in South West Queensland managed by Quilpie Shire Council. The site accommodates both caravans and tents, providing a basic stopover for travellers exploring the remote Outback region. As a council-managed facility in this sparsely populated area, visitors should be prepared for limited infrastructure and self-sufficient camping conditions.

Travellers are advised to confirm current access conditions before arrival, particularly during the wet season when waterways can become impassable.
