Blackbutt Showground – Qld

After leaving Kenilworth Showground, we headed a couple of hours SW to the Blackbutt Showground.

Arriving At Blackbutt Showground

After arriving we headed to the caretakers van to pay. There you scan in, sanitising hands, take an envelope and fill in your information (name, date, rego etc) This is where you pop your money in before handing it to the caretaker.

We had already found a place to park for the night. That one night turned into two as we wanted to check out the bakery and have a stroll.

Camping at Blackbutt Showground

This is one of the larger showgrounds with lots of well kept grassy areas. Some sites with power some un-powered.

Walking around Blackbutt Showground you’ll see more sites out of the way, across from the oval. I’m not sure if these are powered or not? They caretaker seemed to direct people to available locations.

As this is a large showground, there is room for many rigs of any size. Therefore you can stay hooked up if you want to.

Amenities

Toilets and showers are available 24/7. Outside the amenities block are some shelves with DVD’s and a notice board. Good to know the caretaker can clean your roof and solar for you and paint it! At a cost obviously.

The dump point is just outside the showground gates.

You don’t have to step foot to far outside of Blackbutt showground to enjoy the town.
