66km from Glen Innes · 34 sites · Tents, RVs · Silent Grove, NSW

Binghi Station Located approximately 4.5hours from Brisbane, Queensland, or 1.5 hour drive west of Tenterfield, New South Wales. Binghi Station, once a large sheep station, was a thriving tin and gem mine from the late 1800 to mid 1900. Set on 4,000 acres of natural granite rock country and untouched overgrowth of lush tea tree bushlands, the sheer beauty of the land will, without a doubt, leave you breathless of its raw natural beauty. Binghi Station surrendered to the ravaging bush fires of 2019, however, after this devastation came some much needed rainfall which brought hope; the creation of new life in the form of rich, vibrant green country not seen since the 1980’s. You can explore endlessly on this raw outback property. Discover secret hideouts, come and enjoy a swim under our flowing waterfall (for those brave enough to during the winter months!) and simply relax and soak in pure wildlife beneath a million stars in the night sky. Binghi Station is designed for the 4x4 enthusiasts. In other words we strongly recommend access by 4WD only as the entry 6klm driveway is very rugged and bumpy in most places due to heavy rain fall past 12 months. Please ask for more details if necessary should you have any concerns based on your equipment. Its an ongoing maintenance. Its the 4x4 adventure. We would rather talk it down than up:-) Currently we do not recommend SUV AWD type cars due to there lower profile and vulnerability to bumps and ruts. It is doable many do it all however about driver confidence and add another upto 2hours to trip :-) We recommend parking up the top driveway and having a preplanned lift down. BE WARNED The driveway and some tracks are rough suited for 4x4 adventure enthusiasts that like to use there pride and joy offroad gear for what its intended. ps One thing we can say you will never get bogged on our driveway no matter the rain fall as its very compacted despite its authentic rough character. The Secret Gorge site is suited to tents, camper trailers and smaller length caravans. All our other site locations are suited to off-road 4WD caravans and camper trailers. Binghi Station - an extraordinary place to make some truly wonderful family memories. :-)

Weekend Trip to Binghi Station

We were lucky enough to arrive just after some pretty severe storms went through & were the only ones there. We had the entire 4,000 acres to ourselves! We took our electric mountain bikes & loved riding or walking to Sandy Falls, or even Secret Gorge, which was a little more challenging. Jump’n Rock is about 1/2 an hour by 4WD & absolutely worth the effort. All three sites are absolutely spectacular! Plenty of good camp sites at Shearing Shed Campground but as Adrian says, be prepared as none of them are level. We were OK as we have airbag suspension. Adrian, Oratai & their 5 year old twins were perfect hosts & couldn’t do enough for us. Such a lovely family, they deserve to do well. Worth mentioning the track in. Adrian is careful to state that the track is 4WD only & be aware that whatever you are towing needs plenty of ground clearance also. We have a Ford Ranger & towed a 20’ extreme off road van. The track is very well compacted, so we were never going to get bogged but some of the hills were quite rutted & rocky & we had our hearts in our mouths on the way out, with all 4 wheels spinning! Adrian tells me he has a D6 bulldozer booked in the next month or so, so that should make a huge difference. All in all, we just loved our experience at Binghi Station. Highly recommended!

Weekend Trip to Binghi Station

We loved our stay at Binghi Station and the hosts really make the effort to make your stay the best they can. Though we originally booked the Jump'n Rock site, the owners gave us insight of other sites that would be better for us with our two toddlers.. luckily we listened! We stayed at Sandy falls campsite and it was perfect for the kids.. and we did a day trip to the other sites anyway. There can be a few flies depending on the weather but bring your Bushman's Repellant like we did and you'll be fine! There's lots to explore and the rock landscapes are beautiful.. definitely one to remember. Very impressed by all the sites and our hosts!

Wow! Go. Just go! If you have a high clearance 4wd and love the outdoors - just do it. Adrian's property is gorgeous! Well maintained and Adrian himself is very personable, accommodating and helpful. The Shearers Shed Campground is spacious, lovely farm views, orange trees, toilets and a shower space to hang your portable shower and the sheep are friendly. Plenty of open space for the kids to run and play and there are various trees to provide some relief from the sun - and only a short walk to the Falls. The Gorge Campground was my fave! Good amenities including a shower setup. Campsites were beautiful next to the Gorge and the Gorge itself had a lovely swing and was a great swimming hole. Serenity plus! The falls.... Wow... Heaven... The falls were running - albeit not grand in flow or height, but it did not matter. This place has its own special magic that has to be experienced to be understood. Jumping Rock Campground was a beautiful spot if you like a good view and a more remote spot. It IS stunning. For me, I like to swim alot. So it wasn't my preferred campground just for this reason as the water wasn't flowing well and access to swimming in the water holes was a little more challenging. BUT, if you are there for the serenity and the views and love elevated gorges - this is for you. Overall - MAGIC. And I would highly recommend to anyone and everyone that is a nature lover. Adrian... Thank YOU. You are one lucky man!!!

15/10/25 Had an absolutely great time at Sandy Falls. Highly recommend. The whole spot to ourselves. Lots waterfalls and beautiful water. We also organised a breakfast on our last pack up day and the food was delicious. For noting…. The driveway in is 6kms long but took us 41mins going like 5-10klm as the the dirt road is 4x4. We had a jeep (very capable) and pop top camper trailer (not as capable as didn’t have a highland hitch) and needed to take it slow and steady so not to do any damage. It’s doable just need to be careful. Lots of farm animals - Peacocks, Peahens, Wallaby’s, sheep, farm dogs etc…. Will def do again.

I had the most incredible trip, starting with the 4wd road in which was a lot of fun and added to the experience. The property and facilities were perfect and Andrian and his family were so welcoming. There were so many different places to explore on the property. I will definitely be back again and bringing friends and family so they can experience the property as well.

This place is magical. Between harvesting from the 60 year old orange trees and making juice, being greeted by two adorably cheeky puppies, the sheep, the old shearing shed, the stunning Sandy falls swimming hole, the kangaroos, exploring jumping rock, bird watching and relaxing by the fire, it’s a fantastic bush retreat with the family. Adrian and Oratai are very kind and considerate hosts, and have done so much work to create a bush wonderland! It will only get better as they continue to tick away at their wish list for the place. They even set up a projector in the shearing shed camp ground for their guests to watch the NRL grand final (Go Broncos!). That was so much fun! We towed our 21’6 off-road caravan down the driveway to the shearing shed with no problems. It took us about 40 minutes of taking it cautiously. Highly recommend making sure you have enough food, water and fuel for your stay (it’s about 1.5 hrs to the closest shop/servo).

We originally booked a site at the shearing shed camp area and then upgraded to the Sandy Falls campsite which overlooked the water and was a more private and picturesque option and one we would recommend. The hosts were so welcoming, warm and friendly. Our stay was peaceful and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the beauty this property has to offer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Thai Food!! We pre booked a Thai banquet for a special celebration and our host delivered the most delicious Thai meal we have tasted in many years! We really enjoyed our stay and meeting the old local Wallaroo. Thanks for having us!

We stayed at the secret gorge campsite at binghi station over the October long weekend and it was everything we expected. Well equipped with a drop loo and hot showers, great access to swimming spots, heaps of wildlife and good 4WDing (which is also doubled as fun mountain biking tracks as well). Adrian was super welcoming and helpful. Definitely recommend this spot!

Amazing experience camping at New Valley, Kay was so helpful to arrange the stay for our group of 3 families, tent, swags and a caravan. Freedom to pretty much do what we wanted, collect wood, fire, music etc. grassy area made it easy for camping especially with a baby. Kay and her husband were happy to show us around and let us explore the waterfall and rock pools on the property too. Would stay again for sure.
