Karumba Point Tourist Park

We stayed at Karumba Point Tourist Park during our travels around outback Queensland. It is easily found on Karumba Point Road and is very well known for their free fish barbeques - from May to July. (Unfortunately they started the week after our stay). The caravan park is full of people who come and stay for 3 months (or more) with their fishing boats - crowded but friendly.  

Karumba Point Caravan Park is a short walk to Kurumba Point and we enjoyed watching the sunset over the Gulf of Carpentaria from the Sunset Tavern. At Karumba Point you will find a beach for some shore fishing and a very good boat ramp if you want to head out into the Gulf or up the river to catch a Barramundi.

The Karumba Point Tourist Park has powered and un-powered sites at reasonable rates. For people without their own vans, there are air-conditioned onsite caravans available. This park has a swimming pool, clean amenities, camp kitchen, fish cleaning area. and a very unique dump station (a toilet set up outside the amenities - 'The Loo with a View'). The Office has items such as craft products, basic groceries, bait, seafood, ice and, of course, souvenirs for sale.

During our stay at the Karumba Point Tourist Park the water was cut off due to a burst main at Normanton. The staff quickly swung into action and placed garbage bins full of water (from their tanks), plus buckets, at the entrance to each amenities block so that we could flush the toilet. I thought this was great service.  We enjoyed our stay at Karumba Point and cannot wait to return - what a relaxing spot.
