Kingfisher's Hut Nature Retreat

Welcome to our river retreat.  Ideal for those seeking privacy, peace and solitude away from the socials and technology.  Kingfisher's Hut sits on 80 acres of our 240 acre property, on a high bank overlooking the Macdonald River as it makes it way towards the confluence with the Namoi River.  Ideally suited for a couple (children and fur babies also welcome) or small groups, and those who are new to a nature escape holiday.  A small solar system provides lighting (but not recharging of devices). Our insulated cabin provides a comfortable double bed (bring your own linen and pillows) and pot belly stove for the colder months.  Our bush kitchen provides your basic needs with a BBQ, 12 volt fridge, and fully equipped camp kitchen.  Our open fire is set up for cooking or for just sitting, relaxing and staring into the flames. Our bush bathroom provides a toilet and wood fired hot shower. Or you might chose to relax in a hot bath overlooking the river.  

We welcome nature lovers and offer activities such as bush walking, bird watching,  native wildlife, swimming, picnicking, kayaking (double kayak provided), catch and release fishing (seasonal and with current Fishing Licence), and big open night skies for astronomy enthusiasts.  We are a small farming enterprise and currently establishing aquaculture (yabby) ponds and can offer an introductory tour to those who are interested.

The hut sleeps two but there is plenty of room for those who wish to bring a camper trailer or van or pitch a tent.  As a working property, you may need to navigate around the odd cow pat!

We do ask that you carefully read our rules (see link) to avoid any conflict with neighbouring properties or our attempts at retaining a relatively undisturbed, healthy river environment and not to impact upon our surrounding community.

Riverside Escape Off Grid Camping

A beautiful, off grid, riverside campground with amazing swimming hole on private property.

This private campground is located in North West NSW. 50 minutes from Tamworth.  Conveniently located 20 minutes outside the pretty town of Manilla and right on the river banks of the Namoi River. Also 20 minutes from beautiful Warrabah National Park.

The campground is tucked away in a little valley overlooking an idyllic stretch of windy river with an amazing swimming hole, sandy beach, tranquil rapids and a beautiful, mesmerising, majestic rock. 

We have four primative campsites suited to all types of large and small, self sufficient campers in RV's, caravans, camp trailers, vans and tents. All sites are unique and positioned to enhance space and privacy as well as proximity and views of the river.  They all showcase the varying, natural beauty and characteristics of the landscape. 

You can also book our amazing, award winning glamping tent.

We are not a party campsite. Our little slice of paradise is for peace and relaxation. We also need to respect and encourage the presence and abundance of birds and animals and continue to ensure it is a peaceful and quiet home for them. You can enjoy your music just as long as other campsites and the local wildlife can't hear it. 

Manilla, only 20 minutes away has two dump points and water refill stations as well as a good number of shops to cater to all your needs during your stay.

We are not in a high traffic area so you may get to enjoy having the place all to yourself.

Our campsites have good access for all types of camp set ups and are not impacted by flooding. Nor do they become boggy in wet weather due to the high sand content in our soil.  

You could be sitting on the warm sandy bank overlooking the river and being captivated by the surrounding beauty and the magnificence of the swimming hole.

This secret little piece of paradise has been untouched for 40 years and is home to an abundance of birdlife.  Birds include the colourful Rainbow bee eaters, Kingfishers, Superb Fairy Wrens, Eastern Yellow Robins, Red Browed Finch and many more. 

A magical place that will delight your senses and make you feel relaxed and at peace.

BYO camp toilet and leave no trace.

Fish in the river; cod, cat, golden perch and carp.

Well behaved dogs on leash and supervised at all times are welcome. 

If you would like to enquire about having the place to yourselves send me a message. 

ACCESS CONDITIONS: 

To help you decide if your set up is suitable you can google Riverside Escape Camping Manilla and find 2 videos on 23 and 25 May 2022 taken of me driving up and down the track to the campsites in my old Ford Courier that is NOT 4x4.  There are lots of other useful videos to get a good sense of our campsite. 

You will also get a sense of the distance between each site. 

We recognise the Kamilaroi / Gomeroi people as the traditional custodians of this land.

The Enchanting Site - a nice, big, flat site for large groups or multiple set ups with a nice mix of sun and shade. Close to the swimming hole.

Edgecote Camping

Our family have lived at ‘Edgecote’ for eighteen years. We are predominantly horse breeders and trainers, however have some cattle and many dogs. We love the great outdoors and especially enjoy this ‘bottom paddock’ because of all the trees and the bird life. The dam gives the space a cool feel and a place for dogs to swim and retrieve.

Namoi Valley Escape

We are located near Manilla, which lies 45km northwest of Tamworth. You can purchase all you need at the shopping centres there, or in Manilla where you can can pick up groceries and fuel.

We are suitable for caravans or motorhomes with self contained toilets and showers as we have no facilities.  It is essential that visitors have these facilities.  All waste must be removed.  There is a waste dump station in Manilla.

Our property offers flat access from the road, with plenty of room to manoeuvre. We recommend 4WDs - please message us if you are unsure about your vehicle.

Swim in the river and have a camp fire. Walk in the area, see the abundance of birds and wildlife.

This is a hilly and mountainous area to explore, you are welcome to go fishing along the river bank, or bring a camera as it is a photographer's delight. Very private camping areas.

Enjoy listening to the crackle of the campfire in the evenings.

There is access to drinking water, but no amenities so you need to be a self-contained toilet/shower.

Well behaved pets welcome.
