Camping: The Camooweal Caves National Park campground is located 14 kilometres from the park entrance. Camping permits can be purchased from the Ranger at Mount Isa or directly from the self-registration station on the park. Toilets, a shelter shed, fireplaces and water are provided. Take fresh water and a fuel stove for cooking. Book campsites in holidays and long weekends.

Animal Viewing: Within the protection of the caves, colonies of small insect-eating bats roost, only emerging after dark. Owls also roost in these caves and feed on small nocturnal mammals like the long-haired rat. The shaded creek banks also provide a refuge for the local wildlife with a variety of birds being found here during the day. Birds that commonly inhabit the wooded areas on the park include galahs, black kites, kestrels and cockatiels. Ridge-tailed monitors can also be seen in the rocky outcrops of the national park.
