Charlotte Plains offers Outback Magic only 50km East of Cunnamulla in Queensland. This historic sheep station is family-owned and welcomes you to an authentic stay, whether it be at powered or unpowered campsites or in comfortable accomodation. While visiting the station, enjoy the endless peace and serenity and partake in the many activities on offer. Make sure you have a soak in the Hot Artesian Bore Baths and watch the sun set or rise over the beautiful Outback. Charlotte Plains is a campground where guests can see the thousands of stars that light up the night. Wildlife and Birdlife are abundant with many spots on 70,000 acres, and there are always things to explore! Property Owner, Robyn Russell, will board your coach for a guided tour of Charlotte Plains. The tour takes in the old Drover's Hut with tales of two men of similar qualities who lived there. The station Cemetery is a reminder of the struggles that the first owners and others had living so far from a town. Stepping inside the Home of Memorabilia show cases old magazines, quart pots, fossils, photographs and glamorous Ball Gowns of the time. Furthermore, learn about the family sheep-shearing operation on a wander through the 130 year old woolshed.
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Amazing scenery. December is probably way too hot but we enjoyed our stay nonetheless thanks to the amazing aircon facilities supplied by the station. The private bathing area was very nice! Looking forward to returning one day.

Such a lovely place to relax and unwind. Really enjoyed soaking in one of the outdoor tubs spaced out along the creek banks. Friendly chatty hostess who came to the camp in the late arvo to check us in. And there is merch available too! Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

Awesome experience, camped at the Unpowered bore site close to the baths. Luckily there were very few other campers. Met one of the hosts and dog who were lovely. Heaps of emus. Even fished the small channel and caught/released bony bream. Nice amenities and wifi available at the information hut.
