Lochern is a national park in Central West Queensland, Australia, 1047 km west of Brisbane.

Camping

Camping facilities are available at the park. The park's camping site, which is located some five kilometers from the park's eastern limit, is surrounded by mulga and gidgee woodlands. The camping area is accessible on vehicles, although the dirt road can be sometimes hard to tackle for normal vehicles. Hence, 4WD are a better option. The park is notorious for abrupt weather changes. Minor showers can often lead to floods, irrespective of the time of year.^[1]
