Wendouree Creek Camp

Wendouree Creek Paddock, situated near Parkes in New South Wales, is a vibrant regeneration area perfect for those seeking a true off-grid camping experience. This tranquil site invites nature enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the wonders of the outdoors, but it's important to note that it is specifically designed for self-sufficient campers who bring their own toilets and showers. The paddock does not provide any facilities, making it essential for visitors to come prepared with their own off-grid amenities.

As you explore the landscape, you'll find various native flora and fauna thriving in their natural habitat. The gentle sounds of the creek and the rustling leaves create a soothing backdrop, perfect for relaxation and reflection. Unique artistic installations, such as creatively designed bird feeders made from recycled materials, add a whimsical touch to the environment while supporting local wildlife.

Visitors are encouraged to adhere to a "leave as you found it" ethos, ensuring that Wendouree Creek Paddock remains pristine for future generations to enjoy. This serene setting offers a unique opportunity to reconnect with nature and foster a deeper appreciation for environmental conservation.
