ANTS Was in a tent and the ground was very gravelly, and I woke up with ants in my tent and now in my car! The people at the petrol station are very nice though, and it's open 24/7. After 9:30 you have to ring the bell to be let in though (toilets are only accessible through the petrol station) The shop has literally everything (but at petrol station prices of course)

Really lovely site, toilets were clean, and there was a great sink and electric barbecue. Stayed for 2 nights, and slept well with the sounds of the ocean. I would have been happy to pay the fee, but no one came to collect. According to the council website it's $20 per night https://www.mackay.qld.gov.au/Parks-and-facilities/Ball-Bay-Camping-Ground-Park
Great free camping. My wife and I stayed in our camper van and lived it. Clean toilets and a shower (cold). Close to the beach at high tide. Stayed one night and had a little fire in the beach.
I got here after dark and there is lots of space. I would look out for the big and deep potholes where you are able to park. The outside toilets are current closed but there is still one attached to the building that works. Great place right off the road to stop overnight if you are just trying to stop for a sleep.
