We are Marilyn and Peter, we own, live and run a mixed farming business from this beautiful land, located in the Central Tablelands NSW.
The country varies between undulating and steep land and has 7 km of double frontage Bell River running through it.
The river can range from rapidly flowing to the more usual steady flowing and is most often very clear. The river has numerous swimming spots, some with a rocky base, and some with sand. The winding river and the varying countryside is incredibly peaceful and beautiful and is a perfect retreat for those looking to disconnect and relax.
The river has its origin near Orange and is also fed into by many springs. Weandre Creek runs in the backcountry and winds into the Bell River.
Our comfortable Hut is situated on an elevated spot looking down on the river with a graduated road leading down. It has everything you need for a relaxing, recharging stay in nature.
The Hut can accommodate up to 4 people, however, you also have the option for up to 6 additional guests to set up swags, tents, or a camper trailer nearby. There is space next to the Hut, or for those with a 4WD, there are some lovely camping sites down by the river.
We also offer sites for those looking for a self-contained camping site, in a beautiful location.
We love the solitude, the endless bush walks, swimming, and being immersed in nature. We are confident you will too.
We also have a lovely art gallery on the property, and for a small fee and prior arrangement, you are welcome to come and take a look.
From our farm, it is 60 km to Orange with all its wineries, food festivals, and many attractions. Wellington is 40 km and boasts the Wellington Caves. Dubbo is 90 km and is a big inland city and boasts the Western Plains Zoo.
We are so glad to let you know we have a new (but intentionally rustic) structure which houses a shower powered by gas and solar with gravity fed water.
Showers need to be short because water supply is limited.
In a separate space is a gas BBQ and sink.
This is pictured in our latest photos.
This building also looks down on the Bell river which looks sensational at the moment due to all the rain.

What is not allowed: shooters and trappers, illegal fishing, motor bikes, quad bikes and other noisy machines!

For your information, On the Stone is a podcast and publishing studio that produces a quarterly magazine for the Freemantle Road community. We have local history to share and can always provide information about our services.
We look forward to providing exclusive access to our river site for campers who will appreciate and respect this place which is our home.
Thank you to all the campers who have stayed at our retreat. You have all been wonderful, caring for our property and writing great reviews. The drop loo is taking on its own character with your messages and artworks.

We are Marilyn and Peter, we own, live and run a mixed farming business from this beautiful land, located in the Central Tablelands NSW.
The country varies between undulating and steep land and has 7 km of double frontage Bell River running through it.
The river can range from rapidly flowing to the more usual steady flowing and is most often very clear. The river has numerous swimming spots, some with a rocky base, and some with sand. The winding river and the varying countryside is incredibly peaceful and beautiful and is a perfect retreat for those looking to disconnect and relax.
The river has its origin near Orange and is also fed into by many springs. Weandre Creek runs in the backcountry and winds into the Bell River.
Our comfortable Hut is situated on an elevated spot looking down on the river with a graduated road leading down. It has everything you need for a relaxing, recharging stay in nature.
The Hut can accommodate up to 4 people, however, you also have the option for up to 6 additional guests to set up swags, tents, or a camper trailer nearby. There is space next to the Hut, or for those with a 4WD, there are some lovely camping sites down by the river.
We also offer sites for those looking for a self-contained camping site, in a beautiful location.
We love the solitude, the endless bush walks, swimming, and being immersed in nature. We are confident you will too.
We also have a lovely art gallery on the property, and for a small fee and prior arrangement, you are welcome to come and take a look.
From our farm, it is 60 km to Orange with all its wineries, food festivals, and many attractions. Wellington is 40 km and boasts the Wellington Caves. Dubbo is 90 km and is a big inland city and boasts the Western Plains Zoo.
We are so glad to let you know we have a new (but intentionally rustic) structure which houses a shower powered by gas and solar with gravity fed water.
Showers need to be short because water supply is limited.
In a separate space is a gas BBQ and sink.
This is pictured in our latest photos.
This building also looks down on the Bell river which looks sensational at the moment due to all the rain.

We are working small family farm only 5 km north of Orange and home to the Williewarrina Poll Hereford Stud. With an ample vegie garden, we are happy to supply you with some of our in seasonal produce, fresh eggs and home made bread for breakfast.
We offer only one spacious camp site at a time with stunning views overlooking grape vines to the east of our farm. If the weather is a touch damp - which it is inclined to be in winter in Orange - we can offer you the shelter of our very large hay shed. It will easily fit a caravan and vehicle with room to spare. It will keep your gear dry and your camp site cosy. After a busy day of visiting the vineyards of Orange you are able to relax around the campfire, whether you're camped under the hay shed or not, and take in the serenity.
If you wish, you can accompany us on a cattle experience with both our herefords and highlands, feeding and grooming them (weekends only). You are welcome to try your luck in our dam if you have your own fishing gear.
Pets are welcome but we do have livestock on the property, as do our neighbours, so please keep them under control.
Unfortunately we don't have any toilets or amenities at this point so you will need to be fully self contained and take your waste away.

Not as nice as the spots down along the river but still a great little spot away from others, nice and private with only a 500m drive or walk to the river. Stayed here 3 nights, went down to the river during the hot part of the day and back at camp in the evening to enjoy the fire and the stars. Well worth the stay if you like camping away from others

Stayed: 6 nights across two site locations
Would I return? Yes, absolutely — with the right expectations and preparation.
Setting: A lush grassed riverside site with gum trees for some shade. The wide river had a few deeper pockets perfect for a refreshing summer dip.
Wildlife highlight: Roaming horses and alpacas wandering among the campsites were a genuine delight and added real charm to the property.
Hosts’ presence: The owners were on site regularly, inspecting and checking in. It was clear they care about guests enjoying the property.
Track conditions: The 1.5 km descent is steep and rocky — tougher than expected. 4WD is essential, and experience matters. After rain, the climb out would be risky. With heavy traffic, the track deteriorated, but our group (including two campers and a caravan) made it out safely.
Arrival timing: Aim to arrive in daylight to assess the descent and choose your line carefully.
Navigation and clarity: We stayed across two locations, and the booking system/layout was hard to follow at first.
Suggestion: A simple site map included directly in Hipcamp listing would be helpful when selecting and navigating to sites.
Shower hire: The hired shower was a canvas bag with a shower rose. Being far from the river made carrying and hanging it impractical, and getting direct sun was difficult. At $30 you can buy it for $25 new.
Overall, the property offers stunning views and lovely campsites and great for small groups.

We’ve had another amazing camping trip at Watton Air Strip. This is our third trip and second staying at Drovers Run. We have always found the camp sites to be well maintained and clean. We enjoy the additional privacy and elevation at Drovers Run which is why we selected this site for the second time. Drovers Run provides a great outlook and the river is only a quick walk away. Even though you are further away, you can still hear the rapids at night.
Thanks Damien & Tammie for another amazing stay.

Our site was 2WD and was brilliant. It suited our van which wasn’t particularly suited to off road driving.
