BIG4 Aussie Outback Oasis Holiday Park - Charters Towers

During our travels in outback Queensland we stayed at the Aussie Outback Oasis Cabin & Van Village - a BIG4 caravan park in Charters Towers. This beautiful park is only about three kilometres from the town centre - easy access to all the attractions and tours of the area. We had a great drive-through site which was located close to the main amenities block with plenty of space to relax during our stay. The staff are happy to help with caravan parking and even offer a valet service.

Luckily our stay included a Wednesday when you can join the staff for morning tea - a gold coin donation is requested for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Billy tea made over the camp fire and homemade scones – pumpkin, fruit and plain – with jam and cream. All delicious with an opportunity to chat to fellow travellers, staff and managers/owners of the BIG4. This morning tea is served in the Bushman's Kitchen surrounded by a collection of historic objects from the area. We found all the staff at the park to be very friendly and seem to enjoy their work - even happy to cook for this the morning tea each week. Meals are provided on certain nights of the week for a small fee and I understand these are also very popular

The park has beautifully maintained gardens and offers a range of accommodation - powered and un-powered grassed and slab sites for caravans or camping. The range of cabins or villas suit singles, couples, families and groups of friends travelling together. The park was very busy during our stay but at no time did it feel crowded.

The amenities are very clean - only comment is that there are separate entrances to the toilet block and shower block - both require you to enter a pin. There is a separate disabled shower/toilet room and another amenities block at the back of the park (behind which is the dump point). The camp kitchen is large and has free electric BBQ's, microwave, kettle & toaster - this was a very popular meeting place. The BIG4 Outback Oasis Cabin and Van Village is dog friendly and has plenty of shade trees. 

The office will make tour bookings for you and have a great book exchange, kiosk, loan board games - plus they are very friendly and welcoming. Beside the office is a deck area with seating to have a cuppa. As you can see from the photos there is a giant jumping pillow for the kids and a beautiful pool area close to reception.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the BIG4 in Charters Towers and would happily recommend this caravan park to friends and family.
