Description
The Old Police Station Waterhole Campground is a permanent water oasis set within the dramatic red landscape of the Davenport Range National Park. Basic grassed camping sites are available on the eastern banks of the waterhole beneath tall shady river red gums. The deep pool of the waterhole provides an ideal location for swimming. Take a short walk on the western shores of the waterhole to find the ruins of the Police Station built on the site of the original Frew homestead. Facilities include camping platforms for food preparation, wood BBQs and Pit Toilets. There are excellent opportunities for observing both flora and fauna. The area is subject to frequent flooding during the hotter months (December to March). National Park Fees are payable on-site.
