RV Parks at Hughenden, Richmond and Julia Creek


The website for the Julia Creek RV Park : http://www.atthecreek.com.au/accommodation.

It states self sufficient not self contained.

 

Richmond RV park was very unappealing. It was just a vacant block with a fence around it and a dump point.

Does anyone know what type of RV 's are allowed to stay in these parks?

Are they only for motorhomes or are you allowed if you have a portable toilet and a means of collecting your grey water?

Has anyone stayed in them recently?

Cheers

Chris and Peter

 Are you talking about the caravan park below?   We stayed there a number of years ago but found it very good with nicely marked bays on powered sites and a modern and clean ablution block.   Or is this another caravan park or free camp in Richmond ?

If you mean the caravan parks at these places ...we have stayed at Richmond and Hughenden and these were normal parks with all facilities for RV's

Both these parks very good

Hope this helps

Cheers

Ian

No, they have opened up Free RV stopovers you have to get a permit from the info centre and be "self contained"

have since found out that the one at Julia Creek allows caravans without grey water tanks

 No not talking about the caravan park.

I'm referring to the free camp in town ( http://www.caravancaravan.com.au/entity/richmond-rv-parking-area/qld )
