Travel Queensland: Calliope Free Campsite Accommodation

Calliope free campsite is situated just one kilometer off the main A1 highway west of Gladstone and south of Rockhampton, it has a massive area for both tent sites and Rv or Motorhomes alike. Calliope`s camp grounds are scattered covered with shade by surrounding trees as well as having spots so that you may charge those batteries for your solar systems. Weather you are interested in just stopping for the night or two this place has many things to see and do like; great bush walks, miles of river to explore and wildlife if you are interested in birds. Also just 2 k`s from the Calliope crossroads for fuel and supplies.

I took my SL200 man bus that I have converted in a motorhome and that is 11.4 meters in length and 2.2 meters wide and had no problem fitting in, also my parents have a Hino truck and tralier that they have also converted and that is a total of 19.4 meters they also had no trouble getting into calliope, there is a road that runs the entire outside of  calliope camp ground and sites are easy accessible from that road. Also there is no need to turn around if you think you may have trouble doing doing so, just mearly follow the road around again to the exit. 

Plenty of nature to enjoy and explore in, this place is a great stepping stone if you are heading further up north and need the time to rest and recharge beofre heading off again. Dont forget to check out the calliope historical village and the museum is just of the bruce highway north. Check it out you never know what gems you  might find. So pack a lunch and head on up for the weekend stay the night enjoy the piece and quite, have a fish and relax.
