Mary's property was perfect for a night to get away from the city. It was safe and very peaceful. The animals that came to say hello were a bonus eg: Horses, Goats, Peacock and Ducks. Sunset was also nice. The property was well maintained and the instructions how to get there were spot on. Would recommend this place.

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.

Weekend Trip to Boorowa Hipcamp - Wombles Common

Another great stay at Boorowa Wombles Common. The area was clean mown and right on the river. Love the addition of a firepit. The adjoining pathway was great to take into town both walking and bike riding. We enjoyed watching the sheep wander around the paddock and the creeky windmill across the river gave that real country feel not forgetting the view of beautiful sunsets and sunrise. Easy to find location although our 19ft van is possibly maximum size to get through the main gate. We even managed to catch a rather large carp on the first night. Will come back again

Weekend Trip to La Paloma Farm

Steph’s land is lovely and quiet — a great place to relax and enjoy nature. Everything was easy to find and well prepared, even though we didn’t meet the host in person. Just a few small things to note: there’s only one bathroom, the grassy area is a bit sloped, and the camp kitchen doesn’t have running water for washing up. Other than that, it’s a beautiful and peaceful stay!
