Hughenden RV Camp Grounds

The Flinders Shire Council RV Camp is located outside the Hughenden Showgrounds. It is located a short distance away from essential facilities such as medical services, fuel, pharmacy and grocery stores. The camp is designed to accommodate fully self contained RV vehicles and caravans for a maximum of 7 days.

The camp is clearly identified with signage that outlines conditions for use of the camp. It also identifies that a permit is required in order to stay at the camp. Permits are issued at the Flinders Discovery Centre where there is currently no charge for using the site.

Visitors are required to agree and declare that their accommodation complies with the following conditions:

  • Is fully self-contained (no portable shower or toilet accepted)
  • Has grey water holding tank
  • Has a black water holding tank or toilet cassette.

Conditions of camping are as follows:

  • No dumping of black/grey water on ground or trees – dumping facilities available in RV Park or McLaren Street (a map is provided with each permit)
  • No dumping of garbage
  • No open fires – fuel stoves only
  • Pets allowed must be restrained
  • Silent running generators are allowed between 9am and 5pm and must be sited adjacent to the vehicles (i.e. <2 metres) and not in the creek bed
  • Local events will take precedence over motor homes/caravans e.g.; camp draft and local show
  • Council has the right to move on any suitable vehicles or non paying visitor from the site

All campers must register and have a permit displayed.

Permits are available at the Flinders Discovery Centre between 9am – 5pm and after hours with the showgrounds caretaker.
