The Hartley Vale Garlic Farm was established in 2018 as an organic garlic farm now owned by James and Michelle and their two children. The farm features a hempcrete building named 'The Stinking Rose' used for drying and curing garlic, that also acts as a big room for garlic feasts during planting (March, April and May each year). The building also houses toilet and shower facilities for guests when camping on site. On some evenings, the sky puts on a real show of golden sun rays with pink, purple and blue clouds while swallows flit across the garden beds catching moths. Our guests like to sit around their campfires watching the spectacular show while kids and dogs run around without the burden of leashes or noise of city traffic.

Lucinda responded quickly to all enquiries. Lovely little bush camp for people with dogs. Fire pit was lovely and very clean compost toilets. So accessible to the little river and the lovely aqua pool. Certainly more expensive than most of the NSW parks but we haven’t used hip camp before.

Very nice Area! Lots of Wildlife and the journey to the little River was fun and a medium hike level. Our puppies absolutely loved it there and like to swim and run around. Very spacious areas so campers are not on top of each other.
Communication between myself and Luvina was easy and clear. Would definitely recommended and would love to stay again.

Really enjoyed our stay - next to two dams with turtles and yabbys !
The swimming hole was fantastic and beautiful to trek to - 15min.
Flushing w/c is available next to sites 1&2 which was a welcome surprise
Sites were spaced out adequately and kids enjoyed the kayaks on the dam
We would stay agin

Directions and map were clear and the property is conveniently close to small towns / shops. The large dam looked inviting but we opted to go to the pools which was a 20min walk or so innthe heat, but definitely worth it is gorgeous! Composting toilet near site 5 was supriprisingly clean.

We enjoyed our stay at The Secret Getaway. The road into the camp ground was easy and accessible for 2WD cars. We were allocated camp #2, which had full exposure to the sun, so it got really hot on a 40deg day we were there.
But it didn't dampen our experience. We didn't swim in either dams (water was a little muddy) and Aqua Pool and Little River was about a 20-25min hike.
Luvina and Victor were great hosts. Instructions were clear and they were very responsive to msgs.
Would recommend it for families.

This is our second time visiting The Secret Getaway! This time we came with a group of friends and our dogs! To say we had a great time is an understatement- even with the 40 degree heat. Thank god for being able to swim in the dam. The sites are flat and easy to access. Since we went last time they have put in a flushable toilet which is a nice little addition. The composting toilets are perfectly fine though. Highly recommend this camp for big groups or just a quick getaway for a couple!

The campsite at Buxton was really lovely to have a true bush experience. We had a site with a fire pit which we enjoyed, and it was very close to a dam, which was lovely to cool down in a float around in on our Lilo's.. We are new to camping We're amazed at how clean and well thought out the toilets were.. the most amazing dropout I've ever seen with everything you need. We had an amazing walk to the aqua pools.. It is a quite a big walk and I recommend sturdy shoes and even aqua shoes for walking in the river.. It was a great experience and the children loved floating down the river and jumping off the rocks. The campsites were far enough away from others but enough to know that you weren't alone. It was really great for a first time.
Also checking in and out was easy. Highly recommend..

Really nice campsite, nice views and quiet and peaceful.
We arrived super late in the evening and had a lot of trouble finding the site (don’t be stupid like us) we also picked a weekend where we had torrential rain the whole 2 days. Even still, we enjoyed our stay and will be back again.
The two farm dogs were really friendly and came and adopted us for the weekend. There’s some sheep, and chickens too!
Unfortunately, we didn’t get to meet Michelle nor did we learn about the farm/ garlic etc - it was a cold miserable weekend so maybe next time when it’s pleasant we’ll get to do those things.
Note: upon arrival through a brown gate, turn immediately left and follow the track to the campsite (we had major issues finding so thought I’d reiterate here)
