Set on 35 acres on the banks of Charley Creek, it has a beautiful bush land setting adjacent to the creek. A truly tranquil experience. Recently rebranded the name to Charleys Creek Campgrounds as it is more fitting, as there is no clover, not much of a hill, and not in America (Ranch). This will also tie in with our other entities - Charleys Creek Beef and Charleys Creek Brewing. We have a number of projects on the go and planned for the Charleys Creek entities to make every stay a unique and authentic experience. "Not just a campgrounds, its the experience". You are welcome to visit us, get to know us, and be part of our journey. This campground offers toilets, showers, access to potable water, and power hook ups. Open fire pits, and fire wood available. It is a dog friendly property. The story of Clover Hill Ranch- In 2019 our livestock enterprise was struggling with the ongoing drought. Water was getting very low and we were buying hay from Victoria. One day while checking stock on our grazing property Bradys (adjacent to Clover Hill Ranch) we looked across the near dry creek and said to each other - if we are going to endure this drought we need to do something different. So we were able to acquire Clover Hill Ranch which was then being run by the CMCA under a lease agreement to the then owners. Then Covid struck and the CMCA left Clover Hill Ranch. So we took it on ourselves and it has been a journey managing our four farming blocks Riverleigh; Coleridge; The Shanti and Bradys as well as Clover Hill Ranch. Fast forward and it is now April 2021 we absolutely love it; enjoy chatting with Campers about our story and we have even organised a Farm Tour route through all of our properties. The feedback has been amazing. We are continuously doing improvements to Clover Hill Ranch with many new Powered Sites with town water and new campsites right on the creek. And everyone loves it when we bring out our trailer mounted meat smoker to put on a smoked Wagyu feast! Campers can purchase our Wagyu and Grassfed Angus beef to try while camping and can even buy some to take home.

Pure and simple bush camping! Half hour from Kingaroy, Ballogie Bush Camp is a great option for groups, large and small looking for an Aussie campout. With 44 acres of bush property, interspersed with clearings, we've got plenty of space, from couples looking for a quite bush getaway to large groups enjoying their annual retreat! If we have multiple bookings at the one time, you are still guaranteed privacy. We don't have any facilities, so campers need to be self-contained with their own toilet, however, we can arrange hire toilets for groups. We've hosted many group events here in the past, from bush weddings to annual club gatherings. As well as the camping space, we offer camp oven catering near our Big Top shelter, mastered by Australian champion cooks. Nothing more Aussie than tender meat and veg cooked in the coals, surrounded by eucalypts! The property is all-weather access, with plenty of turning spaces for big rigs. When you arrive, you can choose your campsite, or we can advise the best spots for you. Set up camp along the creek and dam, find a clearing in the bush, or you can cross the seasonal creek and park/pitch in a large, open grassed area. While the creek is only running when we've had rain, the dam has water all year round, and on a hot day, you can go for a dip or a kayak, and maybe even catch some red claw! Pets are welcome, from dogs to horses. We allow campfires, and can provide additional firewood for a charge - see extras. A gel blaster range is being set up - more to come on this!

Great facilities, far enough out of town to be peaceful but close enough for a wonder round. It rained a lot overnight so didn’t make use of much while I was there but the perfect stopover.

9 nights at Charleys Creek Campgrounds

251109 - Being fully self-contained we chose a 'non-powered site' adjacent to the creek located away from all the powered sites to which there appeared to be plenty. Privacy is guaranteed with very easy level access for large rigs (we have a 24foot van plus a LC200) and we still had heaps of room to spare. Whilst we could only 'just' see our neighbours through all the trees of this well maintained property, in the far distance, we could not hear a thing. There are some amazing and very clean amenities. Great showers, toilets and laundry with a great family owned and operated private distillery on the property up at big shed that also accommodates saturday night entertainment and a cookout, worth the visit. Located not far from the centre of the Chinchilla township that is fully serviced with all the essential 'go to's for grocery, hardware, pubs etc etc you would not be short of finding what you are looking for. Don't forget to visit the Large Watermellon' slice so you can take your photo. It's a must do. Enjoy, have fun.

We had a lovely overnight stay at Rubern Lagoons. The facilities were great and it had a nice vibe. The NRL grand final was on that night so many of the other campers enjoyed watching it in the communal kitchen/dining area. Check-in was easy and it was simple to hook into the power and water.
