55km from Gulgong · 7 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging

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.

We loved our stay at Camping Under The Stars. The campsite was clean, had a great farm feel, and was beautifully simple. Perfect spot for stargazing, and the host was very friendly. Would happily stay again.

Very quite and peaceful. Large flat area for camping and the shower and toilet were modern and clean. We meet Kim and the girls and Kim let us use the cabins facilities. The fire pit was tops.

A wonderful farm to stay at and the amenities are so wonderful, clean and accessible. The ground was a little hard to bash in the pegs but it didn’t stop us from laying out the swag under the stars. Great communication
