    Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

    9 sites on 251 acres. We have opened our property for prospecting for gold. Camping is available upon request – you must be self-sufficient. No toilets, no showers, no potable water and no cooking facilities provided. This property runs cattle and two horses, we also seem to accommodate neighbours goats when they escape their own property. We have an abundance of birdlife, a few hares and the occasional mob of kangaroos like to thunder through the property at dawn and dusk. Free firewood can be collected around the property and firepits are available. Campfires are subject to authority fire bans. Day visitors for fossicking/prospecting must book through Hipcamp for insurance reasons. No motorbikes allowed however bicycles are allowed on the tracks. Dogs are permitted but must be on a leash at all times for their safety and the safety of the other residents on the property both human and animal. Gold prospecting/fossicking is subject to rules that will be sent once you book your fossicking experience. Please note you need to hold a current fossicking licence issued from the Department of Mines and Resources. You can obtain a licence via https://www.qld.gov.au/recreation/activities/areas-facilities/fossicking/licences-permits/purchase - copy and paste this URL into your browser to apply for a licence. REFILL ANY EXCAVATIONS!!!!!!! Most of the property is 2 wheel drive accessible – weather permitting. You must bring your own water and toilet – no digging a hole to bury waste of any kind. A list of Council dump points in the area can be provided.

    Fossicking/Prospecting - Day Trip
    Absolutely love this spot, (Found a couple bits of gold) Hosts are lovely. We normally camp at Karara but this is great for off grid, quiet camping and the bonus of walking to detecting areas

    Fossicking/Prospecting - Day Trip
    Both being detectorist we heard about Evan camp opening up to campers and detecting so we decided to do a day trip there. We were so impressed with the new owners who showed us around giving us a bit of history and we found some pieces of gold. We are so grateful to these owners who open their properties to the public to enjoy these outdoor activities and definately will be back next time we are in Karara.

    Firstly, many thanks to the great hosts, and to John for showing us the areas that may possibly provide some of the shiny stuff. Unfortunately not on this trip, but did did find a couple of spent rifle rounds, so was something to send the detector into overdrive for a period of time. If you haven't been to this location before, it's well worth taking the time & making use of the wide open spaces. 🙂
