About this campsite

The Carisbroome Camping & Fishing Reserve is a historic site, first discovered by Allan Cunningham in the early 19th century. The area was first settled in 1850 with the opening of Browns Inn, which served as a stopover for bullock teams heading west. Today, the reserve provides scenic, shady camping spots along the Macintyre Brook, perfect for fishing and relaxing.

Carisbroome Camping & Fishing Reserve serves as an idyllic haven for nature lovers, positioned strategically on the banks of the Macintyre Brook. It offers lush grassy spots and ample shade, providing a perfect respite for travellers along the Cunningham Highway, situated between Warwick and Goondiwindi. With its founding roots dating back to the early 19th Century, it carries historical significance, originally functioning as Browns Inn in 1850. This spot was a rest place for the bullock teams that journeyed westwards. Today, it continues to offer the same sense of tranquility and comfort amidst the heart of nature.
