13 sites · Tents375 acres · Upper Pappinbarra, NSWForested and beautiful, our 350 acre property inside Mount Boss State Forest is on forestry roads. We are a remote bush block 40 mins from Wauchope. Access is by competent 4 wheel drive, foot or horseback.
We can cater to off road caravans and trailers and are a good option for pre journey gear shake downs, digital detox, nature embracing, rabbit hunting or practising for an appearance on Alone. This an experience for self sufficient campers seeking a complete detachment from the outside world and while we are always here to help and are dam good at doing so, we would prefer you turn up able to cope with the conditions.
The property is between two spurs in the Mt Banda Banda ridgeline -its a bowl. The northern section is temperate rainforest, the southern section is cleared with stands of regen and mature trees. Numerous springs, dams and creeks, plenty of pristine water. Wildlife is everywhere, yabbies, eels, frogs, birds, reptiles and marsupials including koalas. There are also horses, poultry and dogs, therefore, no pets permitted.
Campsites are varied, depending on your set up and location preferences there is a range, rain forest creek to high peak lookouts. Sites are flat and slashed. Fire wood is freely available, we are happy to advise our requirements around any fires to be lit on the property.
Weather changes considerably across the year. The current winter so far has been damp and cold, its the mountains, we get frosts.
I think this is glorious and if you enjoy temperatures below 4 degrees, frosty mornings at the fire, giant sapphire skies, and crystal sunny days, then its prefect.... right now!
Possibly spring would be the thing? There are blossoms and blue sky, and the bees start moving. Or summer, forest swimming pools, hammocks and breezes......there is always dams, creeks, hills, forests, to explore, and also the rare option of doing absolutely nothing on a sunny afternoon when all that happens is one plane flies over, a far away silver streak.....
The property has no functional mobile reception.
High speed Wi-Fi is available free of charge, along with standard bush internet cafe facilities, (run down caravan, squawking geese, very strong coffee, bakers whim).
Sour dough bread is baked daily in the bush kitchen, rolls, brioche, fruit loaves, rye or plain white doughy- whim bread :)
