Wairuna Campground

Wairuna Campground sits on the northern bank of the Burdekin River within Girringun National Park, near Minnamoolka in Queensland.

The area offers three separate, partly shady sites set in open woodland, each roughly 50 m × 50 m and spaced about 300 m apart, with a maximum of 12 people per site. Access requires a 4WD vehicle; camper trailers are suitable but caravans are not.

There is no mobile reception and no toilet facilities. Canoes and kayaks can be launched from the riverbank. Wildlife watching is a highlight — freshwater crocodiles and turtles bask along the river, and nocturnal mammals can be spotted after dark.

There are no formal walking tracks, but visitors can explore on foot along the riverbank. The campground closes annually throughout the wet season from 1 December to 31 March, and additional closures may occur after heavy rain.
