About Charlotte Plains
Charlotte Plains is a family-owned, operated sheep station and campground, near Cunnamulla – Queensland. Our Artesian Bore Baths offer a naturally heated water park for adults, kids and families looking for a place to warm up in the winter under the stars.
Charlotte Plains offers an authentic Australian outback experience to visitors, combining an insight into sheep station life and offering weekly tours! We continue to run several thousand head of sheep, which we shear in our historic woolshed. There is also a spectacular array of natural birds for bird watchers and other animals surrounding the campgrounds.
Camping & Accommodation
As far as relaxed settings go, it doesn’t get much better than Charlotte Plains. Camping is the most popular option to immerse yourself – either at an Unpowered site by the Hot Artesian Baths or a powered site in the wide, open landscape. There is also accommodation options at the Shearers Quarters for those who prefer the comfort of a ready-made bed and a roof over your head.
Let the wonderful atmosphere of Outback Queensland relax you – a great place to stay and forget the everyday!

People Say
“What a truly magical experience”
“A delightful hidden gem in the bush”
“Not 5 Star, 1000 star. Let’s be very clear, this spot is not five star… it is sit in a porcelain bath in beautiful Outback Queensland, soaking in Artesian Hot Water, full of minerals and goodness straight from the middle of the earth”
