Mackay Tourist Park

Incredible views. Self guided tour of an old mining area and supporting architecture.

We reserved two campsites for our big family. The camp host greeted us on arrival and made us feel welcome. The sites are large enough for big RVs and there are some drive through sites. I recommend reserving a site ahead but you can camp on a first come first serve basis. There is enough parking for ATVs and trailers too. We enjoyed the shade, picnic tables, fire rings, and ability to go on the mine tour directly from our campground on our ATVs. There are no hookups but there was a spigot nearby. City of Mackay has a dump station a few blocks away. I Highly recommend taking advantage of Mackay’s hospitality.

Sticky sap from the trees covered every square inch of the ground, and the trees didn't even provide much shade. Our picnic bench was broken and degenerate. Loved the town and area, but the sap made it hard to get comfortable in our campsite.

Thank you City of Mackay. Beautifully cared for, shady area or open sun. Restrooms available but no utilities, no garbage collection. Free dump station barely a mile away at their Centennial Rest Area. Supposed to check in with camphost but she's rarely ever there.

What a great place! Mackay township was kind enough to unlock the gate specifically for our visit, which was early in the spring. The accommodations are top notch. Nature was going off! Redtail Hawks, other birds of all sorts, multiple herds of deer, neighborhood dogs... The list goes on. We loved staying here.
