Discovery Parks - Mackay
Solo emergency stay over as a family member needed surgery at the local hospital, booked the single cabin - had everything I needed - however I would suggest ear plugs as the highway is close, eye mask as the door is glass and a light shines through all night. Otherwise all good.
