Spacious, level camping well-suited for travel trailers over 40 ft long.
Family-friendly
Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.
Set on 25 acres in a quiet and peaceful valley bounded on three sides by the Castlereagh River 8 kms west of Coonabarabran on the road to the Warrumbungle National Park.
This is a campground suitable for self contained caravans, camper trailers and tents - limited amenities and power.
Great star gazing location as well as numerous bush walking and bird watching locations.
This campsite offers a peaceful and spacious environment with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the natural surroundings. Many campers appreciate the opportunity for stargazing, taking advantage of the clear night skies. However, some visitors have raised concerns about the upkeep of facilities, noting issues like cleanliness and inadequate power setups. The mix of positive experiences with nature and some logistical challenges provides a balanced perspective for potential campers.
We booked with
Not great expectations but was keen to be on the area to see Saturn and the planets .
We also booked there on a powered site and noted we had a caravan
This was also a priority as it was hot
To our disbelief we where ducted go a grass section and where told to plug into the pole
On close inspection we realised it was not to code
It was a ten amp power lead feed into a junction box. On the other side was a fifteen amp plug
Needless to say we could only run one or Two things and it would trip
The caretaker then came and asked if we would share this power with another caravan
Using a power board 😱
Don’t offer safe industry standard powered site if you can’t make them safe
Every powered site was like this
A tent you might be okay
The grass to the river was long the whole area was messy
The best winner was the pool
Never again
Perhaps there were not much staff to clean toilets when we arrived on Monday 16/1/25 .
Happy with no reception and a beautiful natives cross European vegetation parkland ,surrounded by bush and still running creek, well appreciated by our Blue Heeler. Only 4 Motels rooms were occupied by parents with a little children .
The host Viren was very helpful. Could not be apologetic enough.
The person who greeted us onsite had the attitude of could not get rid of us quick enough.
Left is to our own devices and was not acceptable to us.
Owners of the venue held loud parties late into the night on both nights we were staying there, keeping my family awake. We were told by management that as it was the owners, there was nothing that could be done. We chose this destination, for a quiet, relaxed time in the wilderness.
The facilities were also putrid. Bins were overflowing with rubbish. The bathrooms stank and were unclean.
One of the worst camping experiences overall that my family has ever had. It is a real pity, as the location was good, with plenty of space. Lots of potential to be great.
Out of town far enough to avoid any light pollution, large open area for camping, sites are allocated when booking but it’s a find a spot once there system. Excellent for star gazing, it is close to a road but not a busy road, facilities available to use and very friendly hosts when checking in at reception.
