The best camping near Monto with swimming

·

If you’re after swimming spots in Monto, you’ll find over a dozen caravan campsites that let you cool off without packing into busy public pools. Think deep, shaded waterholes and creeks—places where platypus sightings aren’t rare and the birds kick off at sunrise. Top-rated sites like High Country Haven (50 reviews), Hogback (33 reviews), and Makowata Farm (30 reviews) all offer solid facilities, clean showers, and a welcome spot for your dog. Expect to pay around $30 a night, but you can nab a patch for as little as $15 if you’re watching your wallet. Hike in the morning, swim in the afternoon, and spot wallabies before tea—this is camping the way locals do it.

74km from Monto · 4 sites · Tents, RVs
We have 33 acres that we have been working on for the last 15 months to try and create our own slice of freedom. We have the goal of becoming as self sufficient as possible and currently we are producing a large amount of our own food. We have a massive array of animals and always are having new additions, which is always exciting. We are open to people coming to just experience what we have created or even getting their hands dirty. We have learnt so much coming here and are happy to pass on what ever knowledge that we have gained but also open to learn from you all too. We are located about 40mins from Agnes Water and are super connected to the amazing Agnes community. We have a couple of areas that power can be tapped into and also a second outside bathroom that is welcomed to be used.

72km from Monto · 5 sites · Tents, RVs
Hogback is a 2000 acre nature refuge and run as a cattle operation, emphasis in sustainability, in native forest. This property is the perfect getaway, and a photographers dream, you can do as little or as much as you like. The seasonal creek draws the wildlife to the area making this a birdwatchers paradise, sit back and watch the wedgetail eagles soar as the red-tailed black cockatoos serenade the afternoon away.This unique property has inland and coastal fall making it home to several ecosystems, including the semi-permanent waterfall. If you're looking for a bit more than the usual campsite then bring the gold pans and the detectors because we are located at the base of the Mt Rawdon gold mine. Many a yarn will be told of the gold that can be found in the hills around.A fantastic place to bring the family and the 4 legged friends (on leads as this is a working property). We also have a small barbed wire paddock available for horses by request. BYO horses and yards available at RV sites only.We look forward to welcoming you to Hogback.Please note there is no mobile reception - except up the hill.No toilets. BYO amenities and leave no trace.

Square Mile

3. Square Mile

49km from Monto · 10 sites · Tents, RVs
Square Mile is a 6000 acre working cattle property in close proximity to Agnes Waters. The property is surrounded by national park and mountain range. Campers will enjoy bush walking, bird watching and swimming in the swimming holes on the property. Your hosts Bruce and Sharon would be more than happy to show you around their property. You may get to see cattle getting processed in the yards the dogs working or even see some cutting show horses being worked. You are welcome to pick your own spot to set up camp. Access is 4wd only and there are no amenities, so you'll need a self contained off-road set up. Good bore water available. Pets welcome.
