Bushy Parker Park

Bushy Parker Park — formally known as Vincent 'Bushy' Parker Park — is a designated free camping area situated alongside Rollingstone Creek, about 54 km north of Townsville in North Queensland.

The lush, shaded grounds offer both a day-use area and overnight tent and vehicle camping, with a 48-hour limit applying to the camp area. The park's main draw is a freshwater creek swimming hole directly adjacent to the site.

Walking tracks with peaceful creek views wind through the surrounding area, and the restored Rollingstone Railway Station, filled with local historical mementos, is nearby.

Basic amenities include toilets, individual water taps, garbage bins, and a Dump-Ezy sewage dump point with a rinse tap, available around the clock. A pub, small store, and fuel station are all within walking distance.

Rangers from Townsville Regional Council make regular visits to maintain safety and upkeep.
