Bellandre Park

2 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents3060 acres · Molong, NSW
We are Marilyn and Peter, we own, live and run a mixed farming business from this beautiful land, located in the Central Tablelands NSW. The country varies between undulating and steep land and has 7 km of double frontage Bell River running through it. The river can range from rapidly flowing to the more usual steady flowing and is most often very clear. The river has numerous swimming spots, some with a rocky base, and some with sand. The winding river and the varying countryside is incredibly peaceful and beautiful and is a perfect retreat for those looking to disconnect and relax. The river has its origin near Orange and is also fed into by many springs. Weandre Creek runs in the backcountry and winds into the Bell River. Our comfortable Hut is situated on an elevated spot looking down on the river with a graduated road leading down. It has everything you need for a relaxing, recharging stay in nature. The Hut can accommodate up to 4 people, however, you also have the option for up to 6 additional guests to set up swags, tents, or a camper trailer nearby. There is space next to the Hut, or for those with a 4WD, there are some lovely camping sites down by the river. We also offer sites for those looking for a self-contained camping site, in a beautiful location. We love the solitude, the endless bush walks, swimming, and being immersed in nature. We are confident you will too. We also have a lovely art gallery on the property, and for a small fee and prior arrangement, you are welcome to come and take a look. From our farm, it is 60 km to Orange with all its wineries, food festivals, and many attractions. Wellington is 40 km and boasts the Wellington Caves. Dubbo is 90 km and is a big inland city and boasts the Western Plains Zoo. We are so glad to let you know we have a new (but intentionally rustic) structure which houses a shower powered by gas and solar with gravity fed water. Showers need to be short because water supply is limited. In a separate space is a gas BBQ and sink. This is pictured in our latest photos. This building also looks down on the Bell river which looks sensational at the moment due to all the rain.

Camping near Dubbo guide

Overview

A 5-hour drive west of Sydney, Dubbo is a draw for families with kids thanks to the open-range Taronga Western Plains Zoo, home to more than 5,000 animals. Visitors can explore via golf cart or bicycle, or choose a behind-the-scenes, after-hours tour with a glamping package. The Old Dubbo Gaol is also popular among families, with costumed performances during school holidays. Meanwhile, Australian history buffs love Dundullimal Slab Homestead, one of the oldest homes in western New South Wales, and nature lovers head down to the Macquarie River for a dip and to see ancient carvings in Terramungamine Reserve. Accommodation options range from Goobang National Park camping grounds to provide spots to park your motor home.

When to go

Summer in Dubbo can be baking hot but dry, while winter can be very chilly but perfect for campfires. Spring and autumn are delightful times to visit with many events taking place during school holidays. Cool days are best for zoo visits, as the animals tend to sleep when it’s hot out.

Know before you go

  • Hit the Dubbo Farmers Market on the first and third Saturday of every month, open from 8am till around midday.
  • Cutting through the centre of Dubbo, the Macquarie River features several pretty river beaches that beat a swimming pool any day.
  • The Wellington Caves feature a lot of steps, so they’re not very stroller-friendly. The Phosphate Mine, however, is wheelchair- and pram-accessible.
  • Allow a full day to visit the zoo if you want to see everything. If you’ve got bicycles, the Tracker Riley Cycleway is a rail trail that runs in a 13-km loop from Dubbo town centre out to the zoo and back.
