My family and I loved Billy’O! It was a super cool place and we had a great experience. The grounds and facilities were top notch and clean, the location was great for being near Dubbo but removed enough for a regional canping experience, and Mark was super friendly and great to meet. We’ll definitely be back!!!

Lovely stay under the stars. So nice to be able to hook up to power and water as well as use of the adjoining tiny house. The tiny house is a great spot to sit up high on bar stools and watch the sun go down over the land. It’s peaceful, quiet and we loved seeing the sheep and cows. Kim and Wayne are amazing hosts and I’d highly recommend a stay.

The view over the farmland's and the sunrise were spectacular.
Graham was a very good host. I had trouble with my pullout kitchen and Graham came to the rescue with a drill and screw.
The other campers were very nice and the area is large enough to spread out. The composting toilets were very clean and no smell at all. The showers, one inside one outside complete with outdoor bathtub were a plus. Nice hot water with good pressure. You are also able to walk the property and not worry about neighbours. I will definitely be back next time I travel that way.

Sally was very helpful and quick to respond to our last minute request, and on arrival Peter came over and went out of his way to make sure that we had everything we needed on a cool and rainy evening. The shelter and other facilities were very useful, with the campsite tucked away from the Newell Highway. There is a bit of road noise still, but it proved to be an excellent option for our overnight stop.

We spent 3 days here and it was lovely! The amenities including a shower were very clean and tidy, with plenty of hot water (just need to move the cute little frogs along before use). Hosts are very friendly and accommodating. Make sure you ask them for a tasting at the distillery while you’re there. There’s a free camp down the road, but this farm is ideal if you want a little more privacy and security.

Sally was quick to respond to booking and was so accommodating. As we turned up to a 50km/hr wind she offered for us to tuck in behind the shearing shed. Even though we didn't get to experience the back property, we loved the birds and serenity. A little bit of highway noise early evening but ok overnight. Thank you!

Billy's Bush Retreat was awesome, all the sites were spread out so you never heard anyone from other sites. Mark was an awesome host, set up yabby fishing in the dam for the kids and also some land scurfing behind his buggy. The bar area looked amazing with all the old items scattered around. What was even better the broncos won the grand final when we were there which we watched on a big screen TV while Mark had the smoker going. Only 15 minutes out of Dubbo and you felt like you were in the middle of no where. Well done mate and happy 8th birthday to Billy's.
