Have your say

CLAIMED to be the first new private camping ground to open in Queensland for over two decades, Ivory's Rock Caravan Park and Camping Grounds at Peak Crossing near Ipswich will soon be welcoming its first guests.

Chairperson Joy Winnel said the facility would be happy to be hosting campers after the coronavirus crisis hammered the state's camping industry.

"We are pleased to be offering a beautiful place for people to put up their tent or park their caravan and get out into nature again," she said.

"We believe we are the newest private campground to open in Queensland in 20 years."

The camping ground will open its doors for the school holiday period on June 27 and will take guests fromThursday to Sunday nights year round.

"With wallabies hopping about and koalas to spot, our campgrounds are surrounded by native bushland, yet campers can still enjoy creature comforts such as powered sites, laundry facilities, WiFi and even private bathrooms," Ms Winnel said.

Along with camping and caravan sites, Ivory's Rock will also be offering air-conditioned twin bunkhouses and has plans for a 'rent-a-tent' service when COVID-19 restrictions are further eased.

The 600-hectare property backs onto Flinders-Goolman Conservation Estate (Mt Flinders) and the Ipswich-Boonah Trail.

Walking trails around Ivory's Rock itself will be open to the public for the first time, with guided tours allowing guests to explore the private property and take in spectacular views.

Located just off the main road between Ipswich and Boonah, the campground makes an ideal base for drives around the Ipswich and Scenic Rim regions.

Ivory's Rock Conventions and Events is known for being a unique venue for large events such as Earth Frequency Festival, international peace events and smaller group activities and retreats.
