Maalaabidi Naturist Farm Stay
7 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents350 acres · Coonabarabran, NSW
Maalaabidi is a clothing-optional farm stay with a cabin, camping (limited power to some sites), an old hanger rec area with coffee bar, camp kitchen, antique machinery display, and a private 900mtr airstrip.
You'll find great views and magical sunrises, a communal campfire, camp kitchen, hot showers, and toilets. Enjoy the recreation area where you can listen to music, get a real barista coffee or just sit around the campfire in the evening and look at the stars (we are in the astronomy capital of Australia).
By day, stroll through the bush and enjoy the wildlife and wildflowers or take a drive to the many local attentions like the Warrumbungle National Park, The Sandstone Caves (a local Aboriginal significant site), Pilliga Pottery, or Crystal Kingdom.
Whilst we are a clothing-optional venue, don't be discouraged if you are not one to bare all, just come with an open mind that is respectful of the choices and individuality of others.

Barkala farmstay
72 sites · RVs, Tents13000 acres · Coonabarabran, NSW
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.

Caravan parks near Coonabarabran guide
Overview
The gateway to Warrumbungle National Park, Coonabarabran is a great spot for caravan campers who love nature, hiking and astronomy. The closest town to Siding Spring Observatory and Warrumbungle—which was named Australia’s first Dark Sky Park—Coonabarabran has unofficially become Australia’s astronomical capital, with campers coming from far and wide to check out the sights (and the stars). There are a variety of different options for caravan camping in Coonabarabran and around nearby Warrumbungle National Park, including dog-friendly caravan parks and caravan campgrounds with swimming pools. Very popular with caravan campers, especially in the summer months and during school holidays, Camp Blackman in Warrumbungle National Park also offers a handful of powered sites, though other amenities are limited compared to the caravan parks in Coonabarabran. The town of Coonabarabran is also very caravan friendly, with a free 24-hour dump point (suitable for big rigs) and taps to fill up with both potable and non-potable water.
