Can we still go camping in Queensland.

No camping in Victoria either

Caravan parks and camping grounds closures
At the direction of the Chief Health Officer Victoria campsites, caravan parks and camping grounds will now be closed to visitors.

This is effective from 11.59pm (local time) 25 March 2020.

The only people permitted to remain will be:

People who already have the caravan park registered as their primary place of residence; and
People staying in caravan parks as interim accommodation where their primary residence is not available (including those of no fixed address and people placed in emergency housing by DHHS).
These actions follow further restrictions on domestic and international travel, with all non-essential travel banned. Compliance with this directive is enforceable under section 203 of the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 and penalties apply.

It is important to reduce the risk of infection and slow the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) in the Victorian community.

I was camped in an extremely isolated NP in SW Qld for the past 10 days. Been going there for 5 yrs and never seen a Ranger or another camper. Anyway Ranger rocks up this morning and explains the situation. I didnt have to leave urgently, but did anyway. They knew I was there because I booked before I left. Rangers trip was 2 hrs each way. Mine was 9hrs to get home....... No traffic on the roads to speak of. The joys of not listening the radio

They drove for 2 hours each way to tell "you" to ping off & go home

Well, that's absolutely fantastic use of their limited budget, that is!

That would have been 2hrs otherwise spent cleaning toilets in the popular parks if they weren't all closed.

One would expect they would have done the rounds of any other parks in their region to make sure there wasn't any squatters setup without bookings.

I would have assumed he was doing the rounds of a few other camps in the area.

Must be full-time travellers where a primary residence is not available ^^^^^^

Lots of people stuck in this situation now.  At least they can get groceries and medicines, unlike if camped in a free camp with nothing.

I believe they have deemed "homeless" nomads as essential travel and can be accepted by caravan parks. They will need to quarantine themselves in one spot and not continue to travel, but at least now they can be accepted by caravan parks (at the owners discretion).

But there is no opportunity to pack up the family and go a holiday.

Still saw numerous caravans and campers on the Freeway in Melbourne this morning...
Mentioned to one bloke with a nice shiney new caravan that it was a shame all camping and caravan parks are not allowed at moment, to which I was told sex and travel.

Also noticed on the poster "Following 2 week quarantine, must reside in park for 90 days".

Is that a Govt ruling, or is the park just guaranteeing itself at least some sort of an income for the next few months
