Each campsite offers its own unique features for you to enjoy and a hand crafted pit toilet is accessible to those camped along the river bank. Fish or swim in the river, ride your bikes, or set up camp and then head off on an adventure to the Goldfields at Ophir, or History Hill at Hill End via the Bridle Track. Better still, book into a pub crawl with Damo so you can lie back and enjoy the ride. There are plenty of opportunities for 4WDing and bushwalking in the local area.

6. The Gateway-Hargraves Bushland

54km from Molong · 1 site · Tent, RV · Hargraves, NSW

In the early 1970’s Mr James, the owner of 'Biara', subdivided three 25 acre blocks across the road from the original homestead. The first block was sold to his nephew, the middle block was to be purchased by the Preston family and ‘The Gateway’ was purchased by a Mr Carveth. Unfortunately, the sale of the middle block fell through then, due to family illness, 'Biara' was sold and the family moved to Blackheath. After this move, and as thank you to his son, Mr James transferred the title of the middle of the three subdivided blocks to his only son, William. Back in the late 1960’s, early 1970’s, the area was vastly different than it is today. Travelling to school entailed a car trip to Hargraves then bus to Mudgee which would have been a 2 hour round trip! The area was far more isolated as there was no power and entailed an overland phone line, which had to be regularly repaired if residents wanted to be able to communicate with the outside world. The site allows mainly for camping and relaxing although there are numerous dirt roads to explore, Mudgee wineries close by and Burrendong Dam not far away (accessible via Hill End Road near Erudgere). Hargraves is also known for it's alluvial gold deposits and fossickers still go there regularly to check out Louisa Creek. There is 15km's of dirt road which needs to be traveled to reach the property. Dependent on weather, and if it has been graded recently, this road can be in varying states of repair. In heavy rain it may be difficult to get 2WD access via the public road due to the clay content in the road . Kangaroo, wallaby, owl species, kookaburra, echidna, snakes, various lizards, including shinglebacks, are often seen on these roads and the property.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wattons Airstrip Camping – Hidden Gem! What an amazing spot! From the moment we arrived, owners Damo and Tammie made us feel so welcome — genuinely lovely people, down to earth, who clearly take pride in their property. The campsite itself is peaceful and full of charm — we loved being able to pat the friendly horses and llamas that wander around. The river is absolutely beautiful, perfect for a quiet stroll, fishing, swimming or just relaxing by the water. And I have to say — the best, most imaginative deep drop toilet we’ve ever used while camping! Clean, well set up, and surprisingly pleasant. This camp ground is also great for kids. If you’re after a relaxing stay with great hosts, stunning views, and a touch of farm life, Wattons Airstrip is a must-visit!

Weekend Trip to Watton Airstrip

It was a great place to camp with beautiful scenery. Really cool driving there with a 4wd, just try to get there before it's dark or it gets a bit tricky to find the location. Make sure you get to spend a bit more time as I was in a bit of rush and didn't get to really fully enjoy it as much as I'd love like to but other than that it was really good. Especially if you get up early in the morning is a lot of nature around and it's a very beautiful place.

I have camped several times now on Damien and Tammie's land and, as long as they will have me, I will keep coming back. What I look for, and always find at Watton Airstrip, is peace, quiet, space, connection with nature...a beautiful campsite, and very welcoming hosts to boot! Even a short stay does wonders to my soul. Thank you once more, Damien and Tammie. I hope to see you soon again.

Wonderful spot by the river. Dogs had a blast. Composting toilet means one less thing to carry. Made it in and out in a fully loaded Outback. Just need to choose the lines best suited to the lower ground clearance.

Karen was friendly and ready to show the way. Space was lovely and quiet. You do need to bring everything as stated in the listing. The surrounding towns like Hill End and Sofala are lovely and quaint. Good for cycling.

2 nights at Watton Airstrip

I booked The Beach site by the river but Damien talked me out of taking my VW camper van down the track as it has low clearance. I stayed at Hillside site instead with spectacular views. Thankfully the weather was great but I wouldn’t want to be there with a strong westerly blowing. I walked the 1km down to the river which was worth it. Spent 3 hrs there to myself, swimming, and chatting to the friendly horses. The highlight was watching a platypus from Deep Spot site for at least half an hour bobbing up and down feeding along the opposite bank. Damien was a lovely host 😊 Would recommend with a high clearance 4WD only.

1st time on top of the hill in our caravan (our 4th time staying there - 3 times swag camping down on the river). Hosts are welcoming and accommodating. It was gale force winds and the hilltop site is very exposed, amazing views!. It is a large flat area suitable for big vans, short track up is rocky but easily traversed. Our van is 21ft. After 2.nights we asked to move to a more sheltered spot, they said set up wherever we like. Got free range eggs from Tam as well - super bright yolks. Thanks again.
