New Valley Dreaming

6 sites · RVs, Tents2859 acres · New Valley, NSW
This cattle and sheep property in New Valley, half an hour south of Inverell, is raw and beautiful, with New Valley Creek running through it, swimming holes, and waterfalls. Newly laid trails make exploring the property easy, from valleys to hilltops. If you are looking for a natural wonderland, where you can enjoy Australian bush camping at its absolute best, this is it. The property is so spectacular, that parts of it have even been featured on TV's Farmer Wants a Wife. The terrain is rugged and hilly, but the host has created easy access to several excellent, grassy camping sites some exclusive to one group at a time, others around the large dam but still with plenty of space. They all have good road access for even 2WD, provided they have good clearance. The creek and rocks are stunning and will provide hours of fun. Fishing tours are run on the property at an extra cost, it is strictly catch and release and must discuss it beforehand with the host. We do not permit hunting as we want our guests to have and enjoy the tranquility and space. Please note, that our Farmer Wants a Wife site has a long-drop toilet and designated fire ring, however, our other sites are for completely self-contained campers only. If you are visiting during the shearing season, you are welcome to come and check it out for an insight into farm life! Pet friendly, but only small breeds, and must be kept on a lead at all times. Please discuss bringing your dog with the host before booking. Campfires are ok provided you BYO firepit, and they are kept small and manageable. There is plenty of fallen timber you are welcome to collect for firewood. Strictly no cutting down of trees. No campfires during fire bans, or when conditions are not favourable. Whilst fishing tours are possible on the property, you must discuss your interest with the host prior as there are important rules around this and is , it's strictly catch-and-release only. We do not allow hunting of any description so that our visitors can have a quiet and relaxing stay without interruptions. Just five minutes up the road is Green Valley Fun Park with a huge playground, jumping pillow, animal walkabout, museum and 18 hole mini putt. So plenty to keep kids entertained both on and off the property!

Caravan parks near Armidale guide

Overview

If you're hitting the road in your caravan, Armidale makes a strategic starting point at the gateway to New England's High Country. Spend a few days in town to admire the art galleries and heritage buildings, enjoy wine tasting at cool-climate vineyards, and hike to canyons, waterfalls, and rainforest gorges. Then, head north along the New England Highway to Bald Rock National Park or follow the Waterfall Way to Cunnawarra National Park, New England National Park, and Oxley Wild Rivers National Park, all part of the UNESCO-listed Gondwana Rainforests Heritage Area. Most of the region's parks have unpowered caravan and motorhome campsites with basic facilities like picnic benches and BBQs, but some sites are only suitable for small campervans or trailers. For powered sites and extra amenities, check in to a caravan park or tourist park, or opt for a private Hipcamp on a local farm.
