About Camp Creek

Camp Creek is a vast rural locality straddling the New South Wales–Queensland border region, located approximately 60 kilometres east of Moree in the northern tablelands. Covering an enormous area of around 395 square kilometres, it is an extremely sparsely populated pastoral district on the black soil plains of the Gwydir River catchment. The locality sits in prime agricultural country known for cotton, grain, and cattle production.

Camp Creek is devoted to broadacre farming and grazing, with large properties spanning the flat, fertile alluvial plains. The landscape is characterised by open grasslands, scattered woodland, and seasonal watercourses. There are no local services — residents travel to Moree (60 km) for shopping, schools, medical care, and the famous Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre hot springs. The locality suits those committed to a productive agricultural lifestyle in regional northern NSW.

Camp Creek falls under postcode 4385 and is governed by the Inverell Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Maranoa, while state elections fall under the Southern Downs electorate.
