Very private valley nestled between two mountainous sandstone ranges. 3.5 kilometers from Colebrook, via Yarlington road. The property in total size is 37 hectares half of which is gently undulating grassland slopes. These slopes lead to the banks of the beautiful Iles Creek which runs nearly all year round. The western range across the creek includes numerous caves within comfortable walking distance. The highest caves provide magnificent views to the East coast. Camping options include non-designated sites either side of the creek under the huge black-wood trees, restricted to 4-wheel drive vehicles during winter and spring months, with 3 additional designated sites with year-round access for all vehicles. Two of these sites have access to domestic power supply and town water. At the entrance sits the first of the designated sites, the rest are accessed via the meandering road down 300 or so meters to the camping ground entrance as well as the schoolhouse site.

This place is perfect for anyone who wants to switch off in their own nook of Zen, surrounded by beautiful nature. Gordon is a great host who is available to help when needed and this has been my favourite spot in all my years of camping. Thanks so much, Gordon. :)

Secluded & private site
Serenity in spades
I camped in a swag tent and was offered multiple sites to choose from.. all different and private.. 2WD and 4WD areas offered.. the property is clean and well maintained with potable water and some wood for fire offered.. the hosts Trevor and Therese could not have been more accommodating. The bird and animal life is abundant and watching the roos come down to the little creek that ran past my camp was glorious and a privilege.
