Welcome to Charlotte Plains
A unique and unforgettable destination for anyone looking to experience the natural beauty and wildlife of Outback Queensland.
Charlotte Plains is a family-owned, operated sheep station and campground, near Cunnamulla – Queensland. Our Artesian Hot Springs offer a naturally heated water park for guests wishing to soak in the warm mineral-rich water, while taking in the stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
In addition to the Hot Springs, Charlotte Plains offers an authentic Australian outback experience, giving visitors a unique glimpse into life on a working sheep station. Guests can explore the property at their own pace with self-drive audio tours, and enjoy the rich diversity of birdlife and abundant wildlife around the campgrounds.
Hot Artesian Springs are natural hot springs that occur when water is heated deep within the earth and rises to the surface under pressure. The high temperature and mineral content of the water has a relaxing effect on the muscles and can also help to improve circulation and soothe joint pain.

“The most relaxing experience I’ve ever had, the bore baths were magical and invigorating. Seeing the sunrises and sunsets in the outback was absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. The family that run it along with the many hands that help out were so friendly and helpful.“
