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.
Let the wonderful atmosphere of Outback Queensland relax you – a great place to stay and forget the everyday!
Private Bathing Experience!
Featuring two baths, you can relax with your partner, a friend or even the kids. You can book by the hour, a few hours or even stay overnight!

“These Cunnamulla Hot Springs are truly a magical experience.”
“Amazing place with amazing staff who make you feel welcome. A gem in the middle of nowhere. We will return.“
“The most relaxing experience I’ve ever had, the bore baths were magical and invigorating. As were seeing the sunrises and sunsets in the outback was absolutely beautiful and breath-taking. The family that run it along with the many hands that help out too were so friendly and helpful.“

Weather Update
If you are planning on arriving on Friday then we recommend being in by midday. You would need to be prepared to stay until Sunday as Saturday will be too wet to leave if we receive the forecasted rain. Saturday will however be a great day for a hot bath and reading a book.
The shearers quarters and private baths will likely be inaccessible. ... See MoreSee Less

Morning, we are booked to come in for tonight and tomorrow night - are we able to access today?
We just booked a nights accommodation for tonight Saturday 4th of May. Does that mean cancelled on 4th May and opened 5th May?
Charlotte Plains would we be able to come in Saturday afternoon?
Love this place. Can’t wait to come back
We had planned to arrive tomorrow afternoon so have sadly cancelled. Next time!
We're coming in on Sunday, so have our fingers crossed.
Can not wait to return to this amazing place.
