Rosnay is a pioneering organic farm in the Central West.
The Statham family moved to Rosnay in 1996 and began renovating the run down farm using organic and biodynamic methods. They planted the first vines in 1997, and olives in 1999, as well as thousands of native trees, all planted and grown without any chemicals.
The exclusive camping area is on the banks of a old farm dam in the middle of the olive grove. There are sheep and alpacas, and plenty of birds and kangaroos living there too.
For those who prefer not to sleep out in the elements, we also offer a lovely farmstay guest house by direct booking.
Rosnay is proud to be part of Rivers Road Organic Farms, an organic farming community title project.

Exactly as described, lots of room for us to park up, cool old ute that was lit up at night which was a nice touch! Quiet spot just off the highway, so easy to find. We heard an occasional truck but it certainly didn't effect our sleep or our time there. Thanks for having us!!

Had a great 3 days at Springvale, un hooked and spent the days getting to know what Parkes is all about. I prefer to be out of town but Springvale is only a 4minute drive. They have a potable water tap (town water) if you need to top up tanks.

We stayed here for two nights and found it to be a convenient spot close to Parkes. It’s a practical place to stay if you’re attending an event in town, as it’s only a short drive away.
The view from the site was lovely, and the host was friendly and welcoming.
There were a few things that didn’t quite work for us. The toilet had no light, and by the third day of use it seemed to struggle with pumping water and hadn’t been emptied or changed. The site also wasn’t very private. Two children who live on the property visited our van frequently, often bringing their puppy, who barked in our dog’s face without any adult supervision. The kids also rode loud motorbikes around the property quite regularly, which impacted the peacefulness of the stay.
Overall, it was a handy two-night base close to Parkes with a nice outlook, but improvements to the amenities and privacy would really enhance the experience.

The campsite in the olive grove was excellent, plenty of space and the facilities enough to make for an easy, relaxing, and peaceful stay. I had three nights and enjoyed the birdlife, clear night skies, and the cellar door close by.
The hot shower, gas cooker and fridge made the camping so easy it is a great place for a quick getaway.

We requested a last minute booking to stay due to being rained out at our previous campsite. Darrin was prompt and friendly. The communal areas were outstanding and very warm. We loved spending time with the friendly dogs. The check in instructions were clear and the site was very quiet and peaceful. We had a great stay.
