Big Crystal Creek Camp Area sits beside Big Crystal Creek in Paluma Range National Park, just north of Townsville at the base of the Paluma Range.

It is a popular spot for swimming, picnicking, and birdwatching, with a large, deep waterhole nearby and rock slides accessible via a short walk or drive uphill.

The area is 2WD accessible and suits tent campers, small caravans, camper trailers, and small motorhomes, though narrow access roads limit larger rigs.

Facilities include treated water (treat before drinking), flushing toilets, cold showers, picnic tables, gas barbecues, and a public telephone. Wheelchair-accessible amenities and a shelter shed are also available.

Mobile phone coverage is described as good throughout the area. Advance booking is required to secure a site.
