This campsite is located amongst rolling green hills, with some campsites having frontage on the creek and access to the Turon River nearby. Laze around by the creek on hot days and relax in the lush shade. This campsite suits self-contained campers who bring their own camping toilet/shower, and drinking water supply. Some campsites will require 4WD. Enjoy camping, walking, nature walks, gold fossicking and detecting, bird watching, fishing and swimming in the nearby Turon river. This is a great place for general camping activities and family fun in a mostly private campsite, in the ruggedly peaceful and quiet Australian countryside. Gaze at the stars as you warm your feet by the campfire at night. Campers must bring everything they need and take all waste when they leave. Campfires must comply with the local fire restrictions and guidelines and must be restricted to the fire pit provided. Bonfires are not permitted at any time. Pets on leashes welcome.

Weekend Trip to Wirimbirra

Amazing views, very clean toilets, and a gorgeous spot to camp. We spotted lots of animals and had very friendly, easy communication with Leanne. We arrived during a thunderstorm in a 2WD (getting down was a bit bumpy since we have a pretty low car but wasn’t a problem), and Emma even checked in to make sure we made it safely to the campsite- a very kind gesture!

Camping here was beautiful. The owners are clearly very proud of their land and have kept the campsites secluded and private. They haven't tried to rort campers and turn it into a money-making scheme, which made camping here even more special. We were completely isolated, and the self made composting toilets were beautifully clean. We are already planning another trip back here. I hope it remains as quiet and secluded, as it was genuinely a great site

Very clean inside the toilet. Water and soap provided

Absolutely amazing location. Perfect for the dogs. The toilet was so clean. The site was all ours and so peaceful. Grab some eggs. They are fantastic and will be delivered by Ben and M'liss who are just beautiful people. We will be back for sure. Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

Unfortunately due to fires in the area we were unable to camp, we were really looking forward to the stay. The host had impeccable communication, messaging us the day prior to our stay letting us know about the fires near buy and offered a refund. We initially chose to stay away, then changed our mind the day of our stay and we were still giving a refund. Very kind when really they didn't have too.

Great location for a pitstop for our trip to Mudgee and beyond from Newcastle. Camped near the creek and would definately recommend a weekend or so stay. We met out host M'Liss and she was great. She gave us some recommendations to explore locally. We had the campsite to ourselves cooking over the fire.

Weekend Trip to Beelisco Honey Hipcamp

We had the whole Beelisco campsite to ourselves, and it was pure bliss. The place is incredibly peaceful, surrounded by nature with the most beautiful creek just a short walk away. It felt private and untouched — the ideal spot to unwind and reconnect with the outdoors. Everything was well-kept, and you can really feel the care that’s gone into maintaining the land. Can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking for a quiet, serene escape. We’ll definitely be back! 💚

We stopped in for just one night at Beelisco and wished we had the time to stay longer. We stayed at the creekside site and had the whole place to ourselves. The site was huge and well maintained, with a new and clean compost toilet (which my partner said smelled like honey). The creek was stunning, unfortunately didn’t see any wildlife but saw what we believed to be kangaroo prints on the sand of the creek, so sat patiently waiting to see if any came back. Would absolutely stay again. And will be recommending this to anyone I know who is staying in the area.

We stayed at site 8. The boat was great - called ahead of time and met us at the gate to show us to the camp site, very friendly bloke. Camp site was very private, we stayed on the October long weekend and didn't see anyone else (can sort of see the neighbours, but +200m away through trees). Site was quite large and next to the creek. Creek was flowing, deep enough for a quick dip but not to deep enough to swim in. You will want a 4WD/SUV to get to the site.

Magical spot right by the creek. The site and facilities were clean and well maintained. Lots of beautiful birds around. We were the only guests and we loved having the campsite all to ourselves. Bonus points for being dog-friendly! We will definitely be back.

Beelisco was a lovely place for a weekend away. A peaceful secluded spot nestled in trees with a babbling creek running nearby. Nice having the amenities of a toilet, picnic table, and a nearby tap if needed.
