Information

Set beside the Thomson River about 4km from Longreach, Apex Park is a great place to enjoy sunrises, sunsets, fishing, boating or even a paddle in the river. There is a large undercover area with barbecues and picnic tables. This is also the site for the Yellowbelly fishing competition which is held annually the last weekend of August.

There is a campground that is suitable for the self-sufficient camper, with only a toilet block facility and potable water available at the campground and no showers.

The area is large enough for all sizes and types of vehicles, from trailers and caravans to big rigs and 5th wheelers, with plenty of space to manoeuvre. There is a picnic park with toilets, BBQ’s and picnic tables, a pedestrian bridge over the Thomson River and a boat ramp.

A small fee is payable at the Longreach Explore Centre (Visitor Information), 99a Eagle Street Longreach. There is an honesty box/ticket system located at Apex Park for those who have arrived out of business hours and are staying overnight only.

A dump point and potable water is available at the Caravan Day Park on the corner of Kite Street and Landsborough Highway.

The CWA offers how showers for a gold coin donation at their building in QANTAS park.

This is a very popular camping area at the old bridge over the river, and if you want to use the showers at Muddy Duck Tourist Park, do the right thing and pay to stay there, stop trying to free load.
