Emerald is in the central highlands of Queensland. This was our next stop after staying at Jericho Showgrounds.

The visitors centre is home to the big Easel which is a staggering 25 metres high. The painting of Van Gogh’s sunflowers is one of seven reproductions in the world by artist Cameron Cross.

Emerald has a sunflower festival each year so is an apt place to have this mammoth painting.

Camping in Emerald 

If you have WikiCamps you will see Emerald RV Camp ground and Emerald Tourist park are in the same place.

The Tourist park has a large grassed area for self contained RV’s, this is the cheaper camp.

RV Camp Ground

This is a large grass area big enough for any size rig. If you are self contained this is a great option. Only $8pp pn and right in town. You have use of the dump point etc. at the park.

Emerald Tourist Park

We chose to stay in the park as we wanted to stay hooked up. As of February 2021 we have stayed here 3 times now.

This park was a life saver during covid for us full time and essential travellers. This is the kind of park that looks after travellers and so we wanted to come back and support them, all be it one night.

The park is nice and grassy and has slabs to park next to. The last time we stayed was for one night and as you can see we didn’t bother to much with parking perfectly.

You can make use of the camp kitchen/BBQ/ TV area which is conveniently located by the laundry and toilets. Check out Emerald Tourist parks Facebook page here.

The Yabby Trap

Emerald Tourist Park now have a fish and chip van on site. Unfortunately it wasn’t open on the Sunday we were there, next time!

Sally the manager was lovely considering I rang the wrong phone number to try and book in. Note to self, put your glasses on…

If your heading to or through Emerald, I recommend staying at this well maintained, friendly park.
