335 acres of undulating rainforest and eucalyptus forest bordering the Condamine River within the Cambanoora Gorge. 4WD access required. The property has a huge array of wildlife species including the beautiful and rarely seen platypus and lyre bird. We prefer campers to have their own amenities and leave no trace, however, I am building a toilet block. if you do not have your own (please BYO toilet paper). Dog friendly. I welcome people to visit my art studio by donation. I've been sculpting for over 25 years specialising in extinct animals including taxidermy of some of Australia's rarest marsupials. Camps have 1000m of river frontage (access through the gate or fence) flanked by beautiful hoop pine trees and river oaks. Toilets facilities will are under construction. For biosecurity reason collect your own fire wood or purchase from Paul

Site 1 - Booyong Platypus watch
Great time
I’ve come here once before when the weather was perfect and had no dramas. In regular weather, crossings are low, easy, and fun. Campsites are beautiful anywhere on the property with amazing views. Paul is a great guy. Unfortunate weather when we came down spoiled the trip somewhat but I can’t blame that on the host. He was very accomodating. Rivers were up when we left (nearly a metre) so had a fun time navigating that !! If you plan to come during severe rains, have a serious 4wd (Land Cruiser, patrol, or something with big lift) or huge balls (like me in my little triton).

Site 4 - Booyong, Pine Paddock (4WD access)
Great spot on the creek.
It was a great spot. Sites were lovely and grassy and right on the creek. Fire pits provided and plenty of timber around.

Site 2 - Booyong, Orchard Paddock
Top Spot
This camping area was beautiful. Heaps of room between campers and almost every site is on the river and such a beautiful river. The host, Paul, was fantastic. Very helpful, attentive and accommodating. We had a bonus of having a spotted big platypus right near our site. A great stay. 👍

We absolutely loved the camp site, the veiw was sensational 👏 camps are far away from each other, Paul the host is very hard working to make sure you have fire wood and great to have a chat with to hear about the area, he told us how to excess the top end of his property and wow what a view. Would highly recommend. Feels like you are in the middle of no where but if in need town is just down the road with great history and friendly locals.

Site 3 - Booyong, Pine Paddock (4WD access)
Creekside camping.
We loved tent camping at lot 3 Pine Paddock Booyong Camping. A flat grassed site with water views. Other camp sites were about 100 metres away which provided us with the privacy we were looking for. Our host, Paul gave us heaps of helpful information on the surrounding area. It is a serene spot with cattle across the creek. The water in the creek was very refreshing and we saw a few kids kayaking. The 4wd road to the camping spot has quite a few water crossing . Which were easy enough with my Prado. Condamine Creek Rd. Was trafficable all the way through. Despite Google maps marking it a road closed. It may close in the wet season but in October all creek crossings were able to be crossed in 4WD and fun driving. There is please of flat area in the Paddock for kids to run around and play safely.. Thanks Paul. Your firewood was just the thing to take the chill from the evening air.

Site 3 - Booyong, Open Paddock (4WD access)
Easy access and lots of room.
We camped at site 3 in the open paddock woth easy access to the river. The dogs loved swimming in the creek and there was plenty of room. We had a 40ft bus and 2 caravans. Paul the host is a great guy and delivered firewood for us to purchase each afternoon. We also got a tour of his studio where he makes just about anything. Will definitely be back
