Troys Camp – Eulo

Troys Camp is a classic outback bush camp offering a genuine slice of solitude for travellers on the Adventure Way. Located a short drive west of Eulo in Queensland, this informal, free campground is set in a clearing just off the main highway, providing easy access without sacrificing a sense of seclusion. The site is a simple, level dirt area surrounded by scrubby bushland, perfect for fully self-contained vehicles like caravans, camper trailers, and motorhomes. There are absolutely no facilities here – no toilets, no water, no bins, and no power. This is a place for the self-sufficient camper who wants to get away from it all and enjoy the peace and quiet of the bush. The lack of amenities means you can enjoy incredible stargazing on clear nights, free from any light pollution. It serves as an excellent overnight stop to break up the long drive between Thargomindah and Cunnamulla, or as a quiet base to explore the nearby town of Eulo with its famous mud baths and the Paroo River. Campers need to be prepared to leave no trace, taking all their rubbish with them to preserve the pristine nature of this quiet spot. For those seeking simplicity and tranquillity, Troys Camp is a fantastic choice.
