🌽 Greenvale Caravan Park & Cabins, Greenvale QLD

PAID CAMP

🌽 Description & Location

Located at 3 Kylee Court in the heart of Greenvale, this shady caravan park and cabin site lies just off the Gregory Developmental Road—about 220 km northwest of Townsville. With mature trees and well-kept lawns, it offers a tranquil outback-style stay, within walking distance of the town's hotel and general store.

🪶 History

Greenvale is a former nickel mining town established in the early 1970s. While the caravan park itself is modern, it sits within a landscape shaped by mineral exploration and the legacy of the now-closed Greenvale railway line, which once served the mine. Nearby, local heritage includes the quirky origin of the famous “Three Rivers Hotel” name and connections to Indigenous Gugu Badhun country.
