Mount Morgan is situated on the Dee River, 38 km south of Rockhampton, and is an old gold mining town with lots of history and two museums, a railway and a town history museum. There are plenty of lookouts to see out over the town and the mine site. The Number 7 Dam, has walking and mountain bike tracks for beginners and the more advanced. We have 6 listings available at Meyenburg B&B Glamping, 2 tent sites for campers and 6 Tents which have linen included and creature comforts. All our listings have access to toilet and amenities. Pets are welcome but must be kept on a leash and cleaned up after. 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.

Weekend Trip to Ironpot Acres

A really lovely site with great views, lots of nature and a huge amount of space for setting up. We heard and saw lots of birds including kookaburras, butcherbirds, orioles, and honeyeaters plus some distant wallabies. A great place to sit in the evening with the sun setting over the water. Chris, the owner, was brilliant- we had problems with our water pump so he kindly provided us with 40L of drinking water and even offered to help find and fix the issue. Our favourite site to date.

Lovely Camp with lovely people. I am very glad I chose this camp and got to enjoy the best company I had in a while. BBQ Sunday is great! It`s a cute little Town with lots to do. I recommend going up to the lookout close to the camp early in the morning to see some wallabys.
