We are located east of Coonabarabran with approximately 1600+ acres of hilly bush, mostly untouched for the past 50 years. Old logging trails throughout leading to peaks for views east and west as far as the eye can see.
Night fall provides star gazing below some of the cleanest air in Australia. Planes, satellites and if you squint hard enough you might see something else. Watch the Starlink trail, wish upon a shooting star.
Pull your caravan out the back or park your motorhomes up the front, pitch a tent almost anywhere.
Set up a camp fire and sit in the perfect silence that surrounds you. Bush walk or mountain bike around and experience kangaroos and an emu unfazed by human interaction! Discover Spa Corner, and if you are lucky enough to come across me, ask me how it came to be there. Jump in, bust out the bubbles, and post a pic to Instagram.
You will need to be self-contained with own camping toilet and drinking water. There is access to a shower and rubbish facilities.
This is big sky country. The skies are crystal clear and sun rises and sunsets are breath taking. So far my favourite spot on earth is out here. Come and experience it with us, hopefully you will enjoy it as much as we do.
4WDs are recommended to access the property, and there is limited access for motorhomes and 2WD (weight restrictions on motorhomes apply). If you're unsure about your camping vehicle please message before booking.
Pets are welcome, and off leash by negotiation.

This was a great experience and Rick showed us everything about fish farming, very knowledgeable. Instructions on how to get there were clear and Ricks number provided to call when you arrived. We were made very welcome from the minute we arrived, the donkey shower looked great but ran out of time to use it. Definitely worth a stop for a group & good for kids plenty of room to explore. Perfect spot for a rustic wedding. The only downside was the dirt road on the way in which is the responsibility of the council.

This is our 6th year in a row returning to this beautiful camping spot, and it never disappoints. If you haven’t been here yet, it absolutely needs to be on your to-do list.
Caroline is an amazing host—welcoming, friendly, and genuinely lovely. This time we stayed at the Grassy Grove site, which has now become one of our personal favourites (and that’s saying something, as we’ve stayed at all the sites over the years). It’s perfectly located close to the swimming hole and surrounded by stunning scenery.
If you’re looking for a place to reconnect with nature, unwind, or simply reset your state of mind, this is the place. Peaceful, beautiful, and grounding in all the right ways.
Stay beautiful, Manilla — see you again next year 🌿

Lucky to find this spot so close to town during the Country Music Festival with only a day's notice!
Clare was super friendly and helped us with some local advice on family friendly things to see and do at the festival.

We stayed at Warradine Homestead for three nights and had a wonderful experience. Carmel and her family were so welcoming, friendly and helpful. The property has a scenic outlook and is only a short drive into town. The site where we set-up our caravan was perfect. It had shady trees and lush green grass in the middle of summer. We will definitely stay here again in the future!
