Dozens of campers in outback Queensland have been left stranded overnight after flash flooding inundated a popular camping spot.

Police swift water rescue crews, a rescue helicopter and paramedics were dispatched just after 1:30am after reports of two people caught in the river at East Leichhardt Dam, 40 kilometres south-east of Mount Isa.

When emergency services arrived, those people were accounted for but 29 were stranded and cut off by rising floodwater.

Two mothers and three infants were rescued and transported back to Mount Isa by the Queensland Ambulance Service as a precaution.

Mount Isa resident Eve Medforth was camping at the popular spot with 12 friends when they woke to find their swags were floating.

"There hadn't been more than a drizzle in the previous days, but by 9pm last night you could see the thunderstorm rolling in," she said.

"Half an hour later the rain had really set in and stayed that way for about four hours, which brought the water up quickly and caught us off guard."

The group's clothes, camping gear and food was completely saturated, but it was the speed of the rising water that scared them the most.

"We're all feeling pretty lucky today," Ms Medforth said.

Desiree Erasmus was stunned by how quickly she and her family became isolated by floodwater.

She woke to screams across the river in the darkness.

"It was shocking … our swags were floating," Ms Erasmus said.

Danor O'Leary thought he was experiencing a nightmare when he woke to water lapping at his rooftop tent at 11pm.

"Water came to the roof [of my car] in under two hours … I'm hoping everyone else got out safe without too much damage," he said.
