Agate Creek Camping Ground, nestled among the trees by the creek, is the perfect place to relax and unwind and forget about the stresses of modern-day life. Out in nature and surrounded by wildlife and the unique scenery, here you will still find the basic facilities available to make your camping experience a truly enjoyable one. While there is no power, there are septic toilets, showers and drinking water, which is supplied by a bore. The enchanting ‘Lake Louise’ is also available for the enjoyment of the campers for picnicking, swimming or kayaking, however no powerboats are permitted.

The area is world renowned for agates of superb colours and patterns and is very popular with fossickers, some staying for weeks and even months. Along with agates, thunder eggs, quartz, citrine and amethyst crystal can also be found in the area. There is a designated gemfield at Agate Creek and you still are able to find agates in the creek and even just lying on the ground – children will love searching for them!  If you wish to fossick for agates, make sure you purchase a fossickers licence at Georgetown or online at www.qld.gov.au before arriving at Agate Creek. There are a number of tracks throughout the fossicking field if you wish to explore the area more, where you will be able to view some amazing sandstone formations, or you may even come across some brumbies!  

Agate Creek Camping Ground is approximately 70km south from Forsayth, which is the nearest town, so make sure you bring plenty of supplies. The site is well signposted and is on the same road that goes to Cobbold Gorge. The camping ground is open all year round weather permitting, with access by gravel road, so if there has been any rain it is advisable to call David and Dot to make sure that the road is still accessible or visit Agate Creek Camping for up to date information on road conditions.
