PAID CAMP

🌄 Description & Location

Set on lush, landscaped grounds just off Hervey Range Road in Bohle Plains, about 12 km west of Townsville CBD, this family-run village offers a peaceful, palm-filled setting. Shady grass and slab sites are spread across large, level grounds with plenty of greenery and access to shopping, medical services, and local attractions.

🏞️ History

This region forms part of the traditional lands of the Wulgurukaba people, known as the “canoe people,” who have long maintained spiritual and physical connections to the Ross River and surrounding ranges. The Bohle Plains area, once a grazing and military training region, saw increased settlement in the 20th century with expansion westward from Townsville. Today it balances rural outlooks with suburban access, shaped by a mix of Indigenous heritage and settler development.
