Sapphire Caravan Park

With great bush views, abundant birds and wildlife, you will feel like you are staying in a retreat rather than a Caravan Park. All Billy Boulder cottages have unique names & decor to give it that added touch and homely feel. Experience a real holiday you will never forget and try your luck at finding a Sapphire at the many designated fossicking sites. People from all over the world come to the Gemfields in hope of finding the "BIG" one, so come and experience the thrill and excitement for yourself and put a Sparkle into your life.

The Sapphire Gemfields is situated in Central Queensland on the tropic of Capricorn, 320 km West of Rockhampton, 400 Km East of Longreach and 42 km West of Emerald on the Capricorn highway.

Stay in one of our air-conditioned, fully self-contained Billy Boulder Cottages, or budget Miners huts. Spoil yourself and stay in our "Sapphire Suite" with a complimentary bottle of wine on arrival. All budget cottages are adjacent to the fully equipped, Rustic Camp Kitchen, second BBQ area and modern amenities blocks. After a day of fossicking or just taking it easy and relaxing by the swimming pool, you can sit in the huge BBQ Hut with open fireplace, ceiling fans, 32" TV and free gas and wood BBQ's (with supplied firewood), then watch the wildlife feed before enjoying one of our Magical Sunsets.

We have 31 powered sites and shady camp sites in a peaceful bush setting, where you can enjoy a campfire under the stars.

For a short stay, visiting the many fossicking parks and walk-in mines in Sapphire and Rubyvale are ideal for providing fun and enjoyment, and learning how to find gemstones.

Miners supply buckets of Sapphire-bearing wash for a fee, and you learn to how to recognise and find Sapphires by sieving and sorting the gravel wash.
