The Park was competing with Australia's best tourism ventures at the national tourism awards on the Gold Coast on Friday in the caravan and holiday parks section.

The Council-owned Park is on a roll having already won gold on a state level at the 2021 Queensland Tourism Awards.

While they missed out on the gold, the Park said they were humbled and proud that years of hard work, commitment and innovation was being recognised on the national stage.

"To all of our guests, staff, managers, contractors and volunteers that have made the Julia Creek Caravan Park a standout, we thank you sincerely," the Park said on their Facebook page.

The innovative caravan park won the state award in the caravan and holiday parks category, a deserved victory for the park which has become renowned for its artesian baths and its "boundary rider style" huts.
