Karen is a Star Host

Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.

100 acres amazing bush land, plenty of native wildlife (including koalas), privacy, lovely quiet area to camp near the “shanty” which has shelter and basic area for preparation and eating. The bush is quite thick so children are welcome but need good supervison at all times and are your responsibility. Dogs & pets not permitted (we have our own dogs). You'll need your own amenities (no toilet or shower provided). Campfires permitted in a designated area in winter only and wood supplied. Drinking water at the house if you need it (bit of a walk). Good access for caravans and tents. If you are coming to Hill End which is a short 8 km away it's a great place to base yourself. 69 km to the amazing wineries of Mudgee or head to Bathurst and checkout the amazing mount panorama. Or if you like a 20 km 4x4 drive down to the Macquarie river for a fish or just to enjoy the views. This property offers quiet, private camping for the adventurous who wants the peace and tranquility

The Tree of life

Wombat & Karen are lovley hosts ❤️ Campground at tree of life is open and can easily fit a group of 10 or more! 🌲 🌞 Plenty of room for all vehicles, awnings, gazebos, and swags. You get good shade from morning & miday sun, some shade for Arvo sun. Campground is mainly flat, bit of bush travel to get in (nothing hectic). Tree of Life Campground has its own private driveway so you never have to bother the hosts. Hill End has soooo much to do, gold panning, x2 museums, mine tours, walking tracks, many many look outs, cute cafe, and good little pub. We felt safe & secluded to leave our gear at site as we ran around the village. As expected it is dry dust area, and don't forget to bring your own water :)

The Tree of life

Overall the site was good, very private, very bushy and quiet. Very friendly hosts. My only detraction is that I do not think the site is really suited for caravans. My van is only 18.6 feet and just made it in. Narrow track with lots of overhanging trees. Would be more suited to pop tops, campers and 4 wheel drives with roof top tents. 8 out of 10

Camped with some mates before doing the bathurst to hill end bridle track. Great spot and friendly host that cut us firewood for no charge. Cheers wombat 🍻
