We run a sheep farm on our property located north east of Dubbo. This is the land of big sky country.
The sunrises and sunsets are spectacular here along with starry nights, beside the campfire especially when the full moon arrives. It is nothing short of amazing as you marvel at the sights from the verandah of The Tiny Home or from your campsite.
Not far from our property you’ll find the Goonoo CCA Zone 1 National Park. CCA Zone parks are Community Conservation Areas reserved as national parks. The greater Dubbo region offers many activities for tourists, adventure seekers and nature lovers.
The Tiny House is fully self-contained with a fold out double bed and a little kitchenette featuring a fridge, microwave, cookware and utensils and a BBQ. The bathroom/laundry are separate.
We also offer a campsite for additional family members or friends.
You're welcome to go for a swim in the dam which is a short walk away, or take a stroll to the top of the rocky hill to see 360 degree views. Meet the locals (emus) or see the sheep being shorn if your booking coincides at the same time.
There is no shade tree's established as yet, which makes the night sky more visible.
Pets are by special request only.

Very private, safe and quiet property, just outside Dubbo town centre. Excellent spot to base yourself for a walk around town, exploring the Goal, and the zoo! Both of which are excellent.
Site 1 is the biggest for large set ups, but we managed site 2 well with our NPS truck and 19’6” van.
Great of you are taring with dogs.

We had the best 5 days. Sites are big and the river provided us heaps of fun during the day with the kids and the dogs. This was one of the best camp trips I have been on. And the hosts were amazing and super receptive with any concerns or questions we had. The kids rated it 100/10

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.

Beautiful cleared safe and peaceful site. We stayed on site 1. Slashed walking track to creek. Our dog loved this walk and it was very cool under the trees by the creek for an Arvo drink after a long travel day.
Huge site with a fire pit.
Easy access for caravans. Flat site. No over hanging trees. Loved it 🫶

Lovely country camp spot. We arrived late but directions were easy to follow and camp sites easy to access with a 21ft van. A bit of a drive in from the road but all worth it for the peaceful country views and surrounds.

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 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!
