Barkala Farmstay is a self-sustaining farm located off the grid, supplying our own water and solar electricity. The Farm is a grazing property situated on 13,000 acres surrounded by the tranquil Pilliga Forest. Only access is a 10km dirt road of the Newell Highway, north of Coonabarabran (follow directions below). As well as farm animals, the farm hosts a thriving community of birds and well- designed bush tracks where you can discover local wildlife, plants, Aboriginal artifacts, great lookouts, sandstone cliffs and caves all in the midst of the Pilliga Forrest. Barkala Farmstay is also home to Pilliga Pottery and the Blue Wren Bush Cafe (closed Wednesdays), offering pottery demonstrations and workshops, traditional European inspired fresh foods with ingredients from our organic green house and homemade Gelato. The property offers two camp sites, Goanna and Kellies Campground, which are freely available to anyone who books a camping stay with us. There are no allocated camping spots in either campground, thus it is first come, first serve. We offer large camping spots with no campground boundaries hence there is space for vehicles of any size. Both camping sites offer compost toilets and showers (although we encourage short showers due to our off-grid, self-sustaining farm). You are welcome to stop by the reception upon check-in to hear more about our campgrounds and we can help you find the perfect camp spot and tell you more about what we have to offer. Campers are welcome to enjoy feeding of our farm animals, our saltwater pool and campfires. Firewood can be collected on the property by yourself, or you can visit the reception to buy firewood. There is no phone reception close to any buildings but free limited Wi-Fi in the cafe area.

Please note: This is a large working farm, and the campground is set away from the homestead and main animal areas. We do this to give guests privacy and a quiet space to unwind, but it does mean the house, animals, and farm shop are not in immediate walking distance

I had a great time camping at Piliga Pottery! There's plenty to do with many bush walks & pottery workshops. Kellie's campground has a dog run which was great for burning off my dog's extra energy. Everyone involved in the property was lovely!

A wonderful, unique camping experience. Campsites are pleasant and amenities good. The best part is the opportunity to participate in a pottery or clay class, and enjoy a pizza in the on-site cafe! A really fun destination camp and close to The Sculptures in the Scrub for a fantastic bushwalk.

I was contacted by the host prior to arrival to ensure directions and any queries that I had, which I found very good. Directions were precise and easy to follow. With a 8M Motorhome I found the dirt road easily navigable when taken with care. There are two options of campgrounds. I opted to stay in Kellies Campground. The campground was clean and tidy and the showers and toilets also were clean and tidy. Went for a 3hr walk up in the bush, all tracks being better signposted than the council parks I go in. Overall, this campground was a great suprise to find. The host that I dealt with (Bella), was very friendly and helpful and Kellies campground is highly recommended, wether by yourself or with family.

Two mates and I booked two nights at Jame’s place and we couldn’t recommend it more. James showed us to our site and gave us plenty of info about the property. The place was secluded and absolutely stunning. Great views of the Warrumbungles.

This is the kind of place you'll want to stay for a few days. Plenty to do: pottery lessons, bushwalks, not to mention the stunning National Parks nearby. Quiet, peaceful atmosphere with brilliant facilities and setup. Can't rate highly enough.

Do yourself a favor! Incredible property. James is a top bloke and onto a winner, he’s planning to upgrade the facilities for HipCampers so give him your support. I’ll definitely be coming back with doggo and doing some of the local hikes. Thanks again mate, good luck.

Solitude at the foothills of the Warrumbungles! A short drive off the bitumen & then a quick guided drive to your spot after reaching the house/farm. My reactive dog & I had complete space to ourselves with that beautiful view, just the sounds of the bush. The lack of reception is to be expected (for anyone needing it) yet I carry a PLB as I travel remotely, it wasn’t a bother. Stu (James’ Dad) was very helpful, the firewood lasted most of the night, I would definitely return & was easy to book with great, prompt communication.

The camp area is large and pretty. There is a small creek running behind the camp area. The toilet block is clean and tidy, the toilets are well maintained pit toilets and the showers have hot water. There are also sinks for washing dishes which is handy. It's a 5 minute walk from the pottery barn and cafe. We had a great stay.

Such a divine place. We loved every minute of our stay here and were sad to leave. Dirt road was easy to drive on. I have a Mazda CX30 and drove that road six times for day trips without any issues. Make sure to take a pottery class! The food and coffee at the cafe were exceptional. Can’t wait to come back.

The campground was very easy to find and the amenities were good, I was really happy to have a hot shower after a long day of winter hiking. The stars were lovely and there were a lot of cute birds! I would go here again.
