Proserpine Main Street Free 48 hour RV park & Lake Proserpine
The Whitsunday Regional Counil announced the opening of a brand new FREE 48 hour powered campsite right in the main street of Proserpine! Adjacent to St. Catherine's Church, the site will be trialled until further notice. The RV Park boasts 18 RV spots and comes hot on the heels of 72 hour free camping also being launched at Lake Proserpine last month. The RV Park caters for self-contained vehicles, however there has been a dump point and tap installed on site. Council request visitors to obey the site rules as indicated on signs upon entering the park and please allow room for others to access and exit as a courtesy.
