Peaceful oasis in the outback, surrounded by shady trees and visited by many native birds & animals. We have a selection of air-conditioned cabins – all with ensuites plus camping grounds – with both powered and unpowered sites available. Our powered sites are
bush camping sites that have access to power &
bore water only. There are no concrete slabs. Restaurant/bar on site.
There is an expansive camping ground, partly grassed with scattered trees. An amenities block and
camp kitchen are available to all campers. There are also rustic “bush showers”, bush dunnies and fireplaces provided throughout the grounds.
There is a recycling station for glass, plastic and metal containers but all other rubbish must be taken with you when you leave.
Chillagoe is located in dry savannah country, making it the perfect location for stargazing. With its expansive clear, dark skies, you’ll wonder at the spectacle of the Milky Way with its multitudes of stars.
We have a fully equipped dome and everyone can take a closer look at planets, nebulas, and star clusters. The observatory is open from
Easter to September each year.
Our host will take you on a guided tour of the heavens and captivate your minds and imaginations with many interesting stories and facts.
