- A Winton caravan park is upping the ante in its battle to stop free camping in or near the town in central western Queensland.
Park owner Narelle Lenton is said to be considering her legal options after 40 caravans recently parked and stayed in the town for free.
She says free camping is not allowed in town and even camping just outside of Winton is becoming an issue for park owners. Ms Lenton would like to see council prohibit free camping close to the town limits.
“Solicitors are pursuing that,” she told the ABC. “It is happening everywhere, Charters Towers I believe is implementing a 20-kilometre radius.”

- A caravan park owner at Winton, in central western Queensland, says she is considering her legal options, after 40 caravans parked and stayed in the town for free.
Narelle Lenton says earlier this month, the vans were allowed to park behind a local hotel and on council land, even though there were vacancies at her registered caravan park.
She says free camping is not allowed in town and even camping close to the town limits is becoming an issue for park owners.
