73km from Sapphire · 7 sites · Tents, RVs · 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.

Hi @everyone **Escape the Crowds: Off-Grid Bush Camping for Gold Prospectors**call or text glen 0447828244 or Shonna 0422308427 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

I thought it was the ideal bush space, i particularly like there was enough space to be undisturbed by the outside world and other campers if they were there.

Campground very basic, you do need to be self contained. No showers….toilets only accessible from approximately 8am until 3pm….when staff are on the premises. After hours there are alarms so you can’t access anywhere around the main buildings. The staff/ owners were very pleasant and the tour into the mine was really interesting and the guide was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. At the end of the tour you can buy a “bonza bag” and go to the tables for a fossick/scratch and see if you get any sapphires or zircons. All in all a fun morning.

Miners Camp is an excellent choice for those looking for a laid-back camping experience in the heart of the Gemfields. Its spacious, level sites and location make it a great option. It's an ideal spot for anyone who wants to be close to the action and the convenience of Rubyvale's small township. Just be sure to check on the latest facilities and come prepared for a proper outback adventure.

Great off-grid site for caravans. Bluey Richardson and team were incredibly friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about all things Gemfields. Plenty to do on-site and very close to other Gemfield towns and attractions. Make sure you include a visit to Rodney and team at Sparrows Perch pub at Anakie. A geat spot with great stories.
