Harry’s Hut Prospector Camp

20 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Clermont, QLD

Hi @everyone **Escape the Crowds: Off-Grid Bush Camping for Gold Prospectors**call or text 0439762691 for any questions If you’re set up for off-grid camping and want to avoid the crowds, I’ve secured an 40-acre bush block right beside the Bathampton General Permission Area (GPA). This block is a work in progress and does require some cleanup. A small part of the block has been used as a dumping ground in the past—I'm disclosing this now so it’s not a surprise for visitors. But there is plenty of room away from this. There are also remnants of an old miner's hut with many relics scattered around, and old timers working adding a touch of history to your stay. This is a bare block with no amenities, suitable for fully self-sufficient campers. Located just 9km from Clermont on the Laglan Road, it's the perfect base for gold prospecting the local GPA’s **Rates:** - $20 per night per site. Pick your spot, set up, and walk into the GPA or take a short drive to other popular GPAs

Jamlynica

7 sites · RVs, Tents500 acres · Clermont, QLD

Nestled 4.5km from town along the bank of Sandy Creek just shy of 500 acres. Camp beside the dams with many native animals and our farm animals. Pitch your tent, set up your camper or roll out your swag under the stars. Wake up to the native bird songs in the mornings and be lulled to sleep by the cicadas and crickets as the sun sets. Relax by the dam with a good book and beverage, book one of our horse drawn wagon tours around the property, guided scenic bush walk or hang out with the baby farm animals. Guests are required to be fully self sufficient with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. We are located only 6km from the historic town of Clermont's which is central to some day trip activities, Goldfields, Gemfields, Theresa Creek dam ect. This peaceful spot is away from the road and surrounded by bushland where if you're lucky, you will see many native animals. (Koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas, kookaburras and many more). Pets are welcome but we ask that you keep them contained at all times due to the wildlife and farm animals that may wander through the camp-site. We have Maremmas on the property protecting the farm animals from dingos and other feral animals.

Camping near Sapphire guide

Overview

Tucked between the neighbouring towns of Rubyvale and Emerald, you probably won’t be surprised to find that Sapphire sits at the heart of the Southern Hemisphere’s largest Gemfields. Visit the Sapphire Gemfields, including a peek inside the underground sapphire mine, then try your luck fossicking for gems at Graves Hill and snap a photo with the Big Ring and Big Spanner. Active types can also explore the walking and cycling trails at the Sapphire Gemfields Wetland Reserve or head to nearby Lake Maraboon to boat, fish, and kayak. Despite its small size, Sapphire has a surprising number of options for campers. Self-contained caravans can park at the 48-hour Free Camp, while Sapphire cabin rentals and tent campsites are also options right by the sapphire gemfields. Alternatively, check into one of the caravan parks or tourist parks, all of which provide powered sites and on-site amenities.
