The freecamp by Jordan River is very pleasant; we stayed there mid-June. There are fairly well-kept toilet facilities, external shower (I think just cold water), comfortable walk to town. enough room for most rigs although not a huge area. Was one of our favourite stops in central Qld. Here are a couple of pics..

Yes it has toilets and an outside shower (cold only). There is also a tap there from which you can fill your water tanks.

Lovely place to stay.We are there now 29 August. Not many here, people coming and going. Asked the bloke picking up the rubbish bins what time limits for staying here, and he said wasn't any limit.  We are at the Jordan river camp.
