PLEASE BE SURE TO READ ALL OF OUR BIO ITS LONG BUT YOU'LL GET ALL THE INFORMATION YOU NEED! We are also available for small Weddings, Birthdays and other functions. Speak to us about using us for a working space for corporate or business trips, collaborations and more......... Watton Airstrip is a stunning property, nestled on the banks of the Macquarie River. Featuring an amazing rustic cabin, nine riverside campsites, along with paddock and bush sites, all 4WD accessible and two equally stunning 2WD accessible sites. You’ll share our spaces with kangaroos, wallabies, emus, echidnas, deer, platypus and more. Enjoy some optional extras, including Tammie's home made bread, farm fresh, free range eggs, or one of our range of grazing platters, home made jams or hot chocolate kits. Or pamper yourself with a Crystal reiki session, or tarot reading. The 2WD accessible sites feature spectacular views to the right, towards Mt Panorama and Mt Horrible and towards Mt Canobolas to the left. Lie back in your swag at night and let the star struck, velvety sky envelope you, or make a booking at the nearby Bathurst Observatory to see the stars up close. Each campsite offers its own unique features for you to enjoy and a hand crafted pit toilet is accessible to those camped along the river bank. Fish or swim in the river, ride your bikes, or set up camp and then head off on an adventure to the Goldfields at Ophir, or History Hill at Hill End via the Bridle Track. Better still, book into a pub crawl with Damo so you can lie back and enjoy the ride. There are plenty of opportunities for 4WDing and bushwalking in the local area. Fires are allowed (fire restrictions permitting). Wood can be collected from fallen wood around the property, or bring your own if you prefer. Pets are welcome for a one off fee per animal. We do ask that pets are supervised at all times and that they do not interfere with farm animals or local wildlife.

Large 2WD/ Caravan Hillside Site

Amazing hosts, location and overall experience. Perfect place for a couple of nights out under the stars. Wildlife everywhere, paths to explore and a beau river to swim in. Will be back!

Site 6 4WD Only

I keep returning to Watton Airstrip, as it is hands down and by far the best campsite that I know in the area around Bathurst. Well kept grounds, each site providing ample space and privacy (in fact the only neighbors in sight, this time around, were horses, alpaca's and kangaroos), very hospitable and generous hosts that genuinely care about their visitors want to give you the best experience on their land. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, once again, and will keep on coming back. The beauty of the surrounds, including the river that runs through it and the tranquility of the place have once again done wonders to my soul. Thank you, Damien and Tammie!

The Deep Spot 4WD Only

Will Definitely Return!

This site was beautiful, we had a great time. The deep spot was perfect for those who want a swim, it offers a large fire pit, has plenty of space and is closest to the toilet and bins. The horses and alpacas were cool to see roam around our sites. We met the host Damo who is very welcoming and a great bloke. I can’t wait to go back.
