4WD only (clearance of 20cm+ needed). Rocklee is on Wiradjuri land, a short drive from Capertee, surrounded by Gardens of Stone and Capertee national parks and the Mugii Murrum-ban State Conservation Area.
Rocklee is 2.5 hours from Sydney and Dubbo.
Access is 4wd only. (We’re serious!)
Our road has ‘roll overs’, rocks and a couple of tight turns on large gradients) on so you need a vehicle with 20cm+ clearance.
If you are towing a camper trailer, you need a good 4wd engine to get back up the hill confidently.
Each campsite is a long way from other sites - usually about 800m.
Rocklee has a mix of no-longer used paddocks and about 800 acres of untouched bush.
You will arrive through the conservation area, which has beautiful pagodas and endless bushwalks.
Hipcampers can choose from plenty of space where they'd like to set up camp.
Please be careful as some paddocks are overgrown, fences have come down and there are lots of wombat holes, so drive slowly and be careful.
There are no amenities here, campers need to be self contained and leave no trace. This means you need to bring water, use exisiting fireplaces and take your rubbish, recycling and compost with you.
(You need to bring water from home or elsewhere on the way. Please note you cannot fill up free tap water at Capertee - either at the BP, the picnic area or the pub. It just doesn’t rain enough to fill up the tanks.)

We had Fern Camp all to ourselves and loved it. We didn’t see a soul the whole time ! You’ll need to be completely self sufficient with water, toilet etc. The road in gets gnarly which is fun if you have a capable 4WD.
No phone service there - but we have Starlink which worked easily.

Amazing views, very clean toilets, and a gorgeous spot to camp. We spotted lots of animals and had very friendly, easy communication with Leanne. We arrived during a thunderstorm in a 2WD (getting down was a bit bumpy since we have a pretty low car but wasn’t a problem), and Emma even checked in to make sure we made it safely to the campsite- a very kind gesture!

Though the driveway in/out is very rough and only accessible by 4WD and not ideal for campers that are low wheel base once on the property it is lovely. We ended up staying on the big paddock and had it all to ourselves which was great for ball play with our dog. The views here were lovely. Unfortunately the weather was against us and we only stayed the one night instead of the two.

Emma is an amazingly helpful host to contact. The property does not appear to be lived at full time, so you really are on your own out there. The road in is what I wound consider a tough 4WD track, you should go prepared, more so if you have a van over 13ft.
The property itself is beautiful if you take the time to look around and admire the view. It has been very dry recently, some may find it slightly too much if unfamiliar with those types of conditions.

Fiona and John were great and Travellers Rest was such a quiet and peaceful stay. We were met on arrival with such a friendly vib and nothing was too much trouble. Fiona's homemade relish and sauces were delicious and added to the whole experienced. We had a visit from the host's lovely pups... just delightful.
100% recommend, thanks Fiona and John!

We stayed at site 8. The boat was great - called ahead of time and met us at the gate to show us to the camp site, very friendly bloke. Camp site was very private, we stayed on the October long weekend and didn't see anyone else (can sort of see the neighbours, but +200m away through trees). Site was quite large and next to the creek. Creek was flowing, deep enough for a quick dip but not to deep enough to swim in. You will want a 4WD/SUV to get to the site.
