Beachfront Getaway on the Gulf of Carpentaria

Just 150 yards from the sea, Karumba Point Sunset Caravan Park is as close to the water as you can get without getting your feet wet. And when the sun dips low and the sky turns to fire, you’re only 300 yards from the iconic Sunset Tavern, where the beer is ice-cold and the views are legendary.

This isn’t just any caravan park, it’s a nationally renowned destination, famous across Australia for its unbeatable location, warm hospitality, and unforgettable sunsets. In fact, it’s the only caravan park right on the sea between Cairns and Darwin, making it a must-stop for road trippers chasing the coast.

Guests rave about the spotless facilities, the friendly, helpful staff, and the fast free Wi-Fi that keeps you connected even in this remote slice of paradise. Whether you’re uploading your catch of the day or video-calling loved ones under a sky full of stars, you’ll stay connected without missing a moment of the magic.

Tucked away on the edge of the Gulf of Carpentaria, Karumba Point Sunset Caravan Park is more than just a place to park your van, it’s a destination that captures the soul of outback Queensland.

From the moment you arrive, the air feels different. It’s clean, crisp, and tinged with salt and sunshine. As the day winds down, the sky transforms into a canvas of gold and crimson, and when night falls, you’re treated to a million-star display that city dwellers can only dream of.

But let’s talk about the real catch – the fishing! Karumba is legendary for its barramundi, and guests regularly reel in some of the best fish in Australia just a stone’s throw from the park. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or trying your luck for the first time, the waters here are generous and the fishing stories even better.

The park itself is a gem. Spotless amenities, a sparkling pool, shady trees, and a camp kitchen that’s the envy of the Gulf.  Everything is designed with comfort and community in mind. Our staff are friendly, welcoming, and always ready with a smile, to book a tour, or offer a tip on where the fish are biting.

And then there’s the pizza. Yes, the best pizza in Far North Queensland and we’re proud to say it! Crispy, cheesy, and served up hot on Friday nights. It’s the kind of fun meal that brings everyone together after a day of adventure.

Don’t take our word for it, the reviews speak for themselves. Guests rave about the friendly vibe, the top-notch facilities, and the unforgettable sunsets. Many say they came for a night and stayed for a week. Some never want to leave.

Karumba Point Sunset Caravan Park isn’t a stop on the map, it’s a place that stays with you. Whether you’re chasing fish, sunsets, or a bit of peace under the stars, this is where you’ll find it.

Please book early to secure your stay. We’re waiting to welcome you.

Big Plans Ahead for Karumba

in , , , , , , , , ,

Karumba Set to Become a Major Port for North Queensland

📅 30 June, 2025

A bold new vision is on the horizon for the Gulf community of Karumba, one that could reshape Northern Queensland’s freight and export landscape for years to come.

According to a recent report in the North West Weekly, the Port of Karumba may soon take on a much larger role in the region’s economy. Gulf Savannah Development, backed by the Queensland Government, is finalising a business case and cost-benefit analysis to transform the port into a major freight hub for the North.

What’s Driving the Proposal?

The move comes as industries across North West Queensland, particularly mining and agriculture,  look for alternative routes to export markets. Currently, most freight travels east to Townsville. But that path is often long, expensive, and congested. A revitalised Karumba port could offer a western export route, slashing travel time and improving logistics for inland producers.

From Dormant to Dynamic

While the Port of Karumba has handled up to one million tonnes of freight annually in the past, it’s currently operating at a fraction of its potential, moving around 250,000 tonnes, primarily zinc concentrate via pipeline from the Century Mine.

That’s likely to change. Junior mining companies, such as North West Phosphate, have already signaled their intent to use Karumba as a shipping point transporting product from inland sites to the coast for processing and export. It’s this renewed interest that’s driving the push to expand.

What’s Being Proposed?

The proposal outlines a staged approach to development that includes:

  • Port dredging and infrastructure upgrades
  • Road and wet-season access improvements
  • Expanded capacity for mining, agriculture, and even tourism logistics

Historical studies suggest that, with the right investment, Karumba could handle between 3 and 13 million tonnes per year, a significant leap from today’s output.

Why This Matters

This isn’t just a logistics project, it’s a regional transformation plan. A fully operational Karumba port could become a game-changer for supply chains across the Gulf and beyond, while opening new economic opportunities for local businesses and workers.

Stay tuned for more Gulf News.

in , , , , , , , ,

Join the growing travel trend

Dream of packing up and hitting the open road with no strict schedules, no airport queues, and a front-row seat to some of the most beautiful spots in the country? Whether you’re a seasoned traveller or new to van life, this is the year to make it happen.

Here are our Top 10 Reasons why a caravan trip might be exactly what your soul (and sanity) needs right now:

1. Freedom to Roam

No check-in times. No security lines. No baggage limits. With a caravan, you set the pace. Want to stay an extra day by the beach or take a detour through the outback? Go for it. Your trip, your rules.

2. Nature at Your Doorstep

Wake up to birdsong, fall asleep under a blanket of stars, and enjoy your morning cuppa with a view of the beach or wildlife. Caravan life gets you right into nature without sacrificing comfort.

3. More Affordable Than You Think

Say goodbye to costly flights, pricey hotels, and eating out for every meal. With your own kitchen, bedroom, and wheels, you’ve already got most of your essentials covered.

4. Pet-Friendly Adventures

Your furry mates don’t need to be left behind. Most caravan parks (including ours!) are pet-friendly, with plenty of space for your doggo to stretch their legs and feel the freedom too.

5. Quality Time, Reimagined

Whether it’s with your partner, kids, mates, or solo—it’s hard not to bond over shared campfire stories, stargazing, or roadside singalongs. Van trips create memories that stick.

6. Safer, Self-Contained Travel

In today’s world, many travellers are leaning toward options that allow for more control over their space. With a caravan, you’ve got your own bathroom, kitchen, and sleeping quarters – no shared elevators or lobbies here!

7. See More, Unpack Less

Why stay in one spot when you can wake up somewhere new every day without the hassle of repacking a suitcase every time? Your caravan is your mobile home base.

8. Discover Hidden Gems

Take the backroads. Visit the lesser-known towns (like Karumba Point). Camp in places no hotel could ever take you. A caravan road-trip is the ultimate off-the-beaten-path experience – perfect for discovering Australia’s best-kept secrets. And we have the best accommodation in Karumba!

9. Connection (of the Best Kind)

Sure, you might lose mobile signal for a bit but that’s part of the magic. Caravan travel invites you to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with what really matters: nature, people, and yourself.

10. You Deserve the Adventure

After everything you’ve handled lately—work, responsibilities, the busy day-to-day—maybe what you really need is a fresh breeze, an open highway, and a few nights under the stars. Let this be the year you gift yourself that joy.

Ready to Roll?

We’ve got powered and unpowered sites, deluxe villas (if you want a night away from the van), shady spots under the palms, a spectacular swimming pool, fabulous sunsets, incredible fishing, and all the creature comforts to make your stay a ripper.

Travelling in the Outback: 10 Must-Haves for Your Aussie Adventure

The Australian Outback is a stunning and rugged destination, but it requires a bit of preparation to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable experience. Whether you’re exploring the vast desert landscapes or camping under the stars, here are 10 must-haves when travelling in the Outback:

1. Plenty of Water – Hydration is key in the Outback, where temperatures can soar and anything can happen. Aim to carry up to 4 litres of water per person per day, especially if you’re heading off the beaten path. Always bring extra water to stay safe.

2. Sun Protection – The Aussie sun is strong, so pack sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunnies to protect yourself from harmful UV rays.

3. Good Quality Map or GPS – While the Outback is breathtaking, it’s easy to get lost. A reliable map or GPS will help you stay on track.

4. First Aid Kit – Always have a well-stocked first aid kit with essentials like bandages, antiseptic, and any medications you might need.

5. Comfortable Footwear – Whether you’re hiking, exploring, or just strolling around, sturdy and comfy shoes are a must for the Outback terrain.

6. Headlamp or Flashlight – Nights can be pitch-black in the Outback. A reliable headlamp, torch or battery powered light will keep you safe and allow you to explore after dark.

7. Snacks and Non-Perishable Food – Pack high-energy snacks like nuts, granola bars, and dried fruit for when you’re on the move and can’t stop for a proper meal.

8. Portable Power Bank – Keep your devices charged, especially if you rely on your phone for navigation or emergencies. A portable power bank can be a lifesaver.

9. A Comfortable Sleeping Bag or Swag – If you’re camping, a good sleeping bag or swag will ensure you stay warm and comfortable during chilly desert nights.

10. Camera or Binoculars – The Outback is full of incredible wildlife and stunning views. Don’t forget to capture the moment!

With these essentials packed, you’ll be ready to experience all the magic the Outback has to offer while staying safe and comfortable. Happy travels, mates!
