Tour Outback Queensland with Our Coasting Life

Queensland Road Trip

If free camping under big views, by calm rivers, and near hidden outback stops sounds good, Bonita and Dylan from Our Coasting Life are great guides. Their trip through Outback Queensland shows camping in Queensland at its best. If you are planning camping in Queensland, this route gives a few good ideas for free camping sites Queensland travellers may want to save. Watch here.

Bonita and Dylan run the Instagram account Our Coasting Life and a popular YouTube channel. They shared their drive from Cairns to the Northern Territory border. Along the way, they found free camping spots in Queensland with rough tracks, wide views, river stops, and a friendly camp feel. For Qld camping fans, it is a handy road-trip guide.

Summary

Bonita and Dylan explore free camping highlights across Outback Queensland. They stop at Gulf Development Lookout, Leichhardt Falls, Gregory River Camp, and Camooweal Billabong. The trip covers open views, river fun, wildlife, and useful camp features. It also gives ideas for camping locations Qld, camping grounds Qld, and camping sites Qld.

First Stop: Gulf Development Lookout

Their first stop was Gulf Development Lookout, also called "Million Dollar Views" by WikiCamps users. The road up was rough, but their bus handled it well. The view made the trip worth it. This stop suits self-contained travellers who want quiet and wide open land.

Leichhardt FallsLeichhardt Falls: Crocs, Pools, and Scenic Bliss

Next, Bonita and Dylan went to Leichhardt Falls. All vehicles can reach it, but a 4WD is best. The campground wraps around the falls, so there are a few places to park and camp.

The top pools are a nice place for a swim. Stay away from the lower pools, where crocs like to rest. As Bonita and Dylan said, croc-watching from a safe distance is an exciting experience!


Gregory River QueenslandGregory River Camp: Floaties and Fireside Magic

Gregory River Camp was one of the best parts of the trip. It is free, fun, and full of charm. It quickly became their favourite free camp. River floats start right near the campsite, and Bonita and Dylan joined other campers for a float down the river.

The camp also has handy basics nearby, like water and a dump point. That makes it a good place to stay for a few days.

Camooweal QueenslandFinal Stop in Queensland: Camooweal Billabong

As supplies got low, they ended their Queensland trip at Camooweal Billabong. It was their last stop before the Northern Territory border. The site has lots of space along the water. They enjoyed a great sunset and plenty of birdlife.
