Fairy Wrenn
11 sites · RVs, Tents60 acres · Kalapa, QLD
A peaceful and quiet slice of paradise between the hills and the creek. Relax around the campfire at one of the shady campsites available from mountain views to creek side stays. For the extreme camper break out your hiking boots and really get one with nature as you hike to your site at the top of the hill.
All sites are non powered (welcome to bring your own generator), campfire friendly (pending local fire restrictions) and firewood is available. Rubbish facilities are available if required. Filtered rainwater is available. Sites are pet friendly.
Guests will need to be self sufficient with their own toilet/shower facilities but there is a dump point available on site.
Enjoy relaxing by the creek, have a swim or try your hand at catching some fish. Local birdlife is abundant and you might even see the occasional wild peacock. Kangaroos and wallabies will likely come and say hello to you too. Pack a picnic and your camera and hike up to the top of the hill to experience the best views.
Mount Archer National Park, Mount Morgan Railway Museum and the Capricorn Caves are just a few of the local attractions close by.

Mount Morgan was a mining town. Mining of clay in a nearby hill for the production of furnace bricks continuing until the early 1900s, the resulting man-made caves came to be known as the Fireclay Caverns, which contained large openings that measure between 4–12 metres in height from the cave floor. Dinosaur footprints (preserved as infills) were later found in nine different sections of the Caverns, lining the ceiling dated to the Early Jurassic.
There is also a community swimming pool, skate park and general playground near the Dee River on Butler St. The town has three pubs, an IGA, and a small general store directly across the street from the camp site. The Grand Hotel is the oldest pub, and is still trading in town.
