Ayrshire Downs Caravan & Camping is a property steeped in Australian history; with the Cobb & Co coach pub ruins, original shearing shed ruins from the famous shearing strikes, the location for where Banjo Patterson first penned Waltzing Matilda to music, and more.  We offer sites next to one of Australia’s iconic shearing shed ruins. Located along the beautiful Wokingham Creek, you’ll get a taste of the outback with stock and other native animals surrounding your stay.  Winton is the nearest town, 58 km away, and has so much to see and do. It's the Dinosaur Capital of Australia, home of Waltzing Matilda and Queensland's Boulder Opal; abundant in nature, culture and heritage. It's also the best place to stock up on supplies. We have a dedicated, fenced off area for campers with trees growing. We have water available, cold showers and flushing toilets, picnic shed with seats but  otherwise campers must be self-contained. The nearest dump point is in Winton. We have a communal fire pit where you can gather and meet other travellers, or you're welcome to light your own firepit (BYO) at your campsite. Dogs welcome, please keep them under control and not hassling other campers.  We also offer options for tours and shearing demonstrations, with mini wool bales for sale, plus landowners history and stories of day to day life on the land, and genuine property museum tours on request.  Ayrshire Downs Caravan & Camping is a property steeped in Australian history; with the Cobb & Co coach pub ruins, original shearing shed ruins from the famous shearing strikes in the 1980’s, the location for where Banjo Patterson first penned Waltzing Matilda to music, and more.  We offer sites next to one of Australia’s iconic shearing shed ruins.

Best spot to camp for miles!
What a great spot! Quiet peaceful and safe off the road. Clean flushing toilets and a shady picnic spot to sit. A fire pit if you have wood. What more could you want for $18. This was our second stay here and will definitely be back.

Great stop over for the night. Beautiful Sun set, it was nice to be a small distance off the Highway. Good simple amenities. Good phone service so it was easy to pay through Hipcamps. William stopped by to say “Good aye”. And explained when l asked about Hipcamps why it was important to use them as it covered insurance. So Definitely would stop there again.

We loved both the sunset and sunrise and open space for the sites. John called in and gave an overview of the property and thanked us for staying there. Would definitely stay again.
