Welcome to Charlotte Plains
A unique and unforgettable destination for anyone looking to experience the natural beauty and wildlife of Outback Queensland.
Charlotte Plains is a family-owned, operated sheep station and campground, near Cunnamulla – Queensland. Our Artesian Hot Springs offer a naturally heated water park for guests wishing to soak in the warm mineral-rich water, while taking in the stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
In addition to the Hot Springs, we offer an authentic Australian outback experience to visitors, combining an insight into sheep station life and occasionally offering guided tours! There is also a spectacular array of birds for birdwatchers and other animals, surrounding the campgrounds.
Hot Artesian Springs are natural hot springs that occur when water is heated deep within the earth and rises to the surface under pressure. The high temperature and mineral content of the water has a relaxing effect on the muscles and can also help to improve circulation and soothe joint pain.
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 the Bore Campsite (Unpowered) by the Hot Artesian Baths or the Shearers Campsite (Powered) in the wide, open landscape. We also have accommodation options at the Shearers Quarters for those who prefer a ready-made bed and a roof over their head.

“The most relaxing experience I’ve ever had, the bore baths were magical and invigorating. Seeing the sunrises and sunsets in the outback was absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. The family that run it along with the many hands that help out were so friendly and helpful.“

"Charlotte Plains will exceed your expectations. The photos don’t do it justice. We had the amazing camp hosts Trudy and Darren who had a lot of stories to share of their travels and had a great deal of knowledge about the property. We booked the private bath as well at 9pm one night and it was spectacular to see the night sky with no other light interruptions. Truly beautiful spot and will definitely return!"![]()
