If you're looking for a peaceful escape into nature, Archer’s Crossing Boat Ramp in Chinchilla Hopeland is the perfect spot. Nestled along the Condamine River, Hopeland, this secluded reserve offers a relaxing retreat for fishing, boating, and camping enthusiasts.

The small, single-lane concrete boat ramp is ideal for launching small boats and kayaks, and with good water levels year-round, there’s never a bad time to hit the water. Whether you're in a 2WD or 4WD, launching and retrieving your vessel is a breeze.

Fishing and watersports are big draws here, but it’s also a haven for birdwatchers and those who simply want to unwind by the river. The area is quiet, surrounded by shady trees, and provides BBQ and picnic facilities, making it a great spot for a laid-back day outdoors.

If you’re planning to stay overnight, the campground is spacious with plenty of natural shade. There are no enforced time limits, so if you fall in love with the place, you can stay as long as you like! Just keep in mind that while there used to be toilets, they washed away in the 2012 flood; so plan accordingly. Campfires are allowed (unless there’s a local fire ban), and pets are welcome, so feel free to bring the whole crew along for a riverside adventure.
