Dalrymple Tourist Van Park - Charters Towers

Dalrymple Tourist Van Park is located just off the Gregory Developmental Road as you head into Charters Towers from the north (about 1.8 kilometres from the city centre). The caravan park is right next to the Charters Towers Golf Club and is a perfect place to stay if you are travelling with your clubs (or the park have hire sticks available).

We called in to take some photos and look around - very welcoming with plenty of shade and well maintained gardens. They offer a range of accommodation - fully self contained cabins, grass and slab powered sites, ensuite powered sites and large grassy camping areas - space provided for large rigs. The park has a lovely saltwater pool with children's wading pool and a jumping pillow to keep the kids entertained. A really large covered camp kitchen (with fridge, stove, oven & microwave, BBQs) and plenty of seating. The park also has a dump point, kiosk - the amenities looked old but very clean. 

The resident owners are Brad & Tanya Chilton who were friendly and want to make sure you enjoy your stay - they offer wi-fi, potocopying and have a safe to protect any valuables you may not want to leave in the van during the day. Social events are organised during winter (the busy season) which include morning tea, evening BBQs and campfires to sit and have a yarn with fellow travellers - we have found this is a great way to meet people on the road.  

Dalrymple Tourist Van Park allows pets in your van or tent. We thought this park was in a great location and easy to access while travelling around Queensland.
