White Gum
1 site · RV10 acres · Orange, NSW
Orange is about 3.5hrs from Sydney.
There's lots to see and do around the region. Visit local wineries and cellar doors, head out for some fine dining, enjoy glorious parks and gardens, step back in time with charming heritage villages. With a high altitude and rich volcanic soil from nearby Mount Canobolas, the Orange wine region enjoys perfect conditions to produce cool climate wines. Local boutique wineries make a variety of wines, including award winning shiraz and cabernet sauvignon. Our restaurants offer seasonal menus or you can time your visit with Orange F.O.O.D Week in April or Orange Wine Month in October.
Learn about the history and heritage of the region by exploring the Orange Heritage Trail. A camera is a must if you're visiting Carcoar and Millthorpe. Blind Freddy's Bushranger Tours take you to the actual locations in Central West New South Wales where the likes of Ben Hall, Frank Gardiner and Johnny Gilbert roamed during the gold rush era of the 1860s.
The site is on the bottom half of 10 acres about 15-20 minutes from town. It has a beautiful outlook and the plot itself overlooks our little spring-fed pond. This is a quiet rural area and there is only one caravan site so privacy is a benefit.
The site has access to rainwater, electricity and rubbish facilities. No toilet amenities available however we do have a dump point (you must be self-contained with your own camping toilet and shower).
Orange is a beautiful area and is classed as cool climate so we do have mild summers and at least a smattering of snow in Winter most years. (You would need to ensure your caravan has some source of heating.) There is bush land behind the property that can be explored, and several local walking tracks and waterfalls.
If you love watching the beauty of all four distinct seasons and dislike the heat, this area may suit you perfectly.
No pets or campfires please.

To the northwest lies Goobang National Park that includes Caloma lookout, one of the high points in the Wanda Wandong sector of Goobang National Park.
The area is a bird watchers' paradise - you can often spot birds of prey, such as wedge-tailed eagles, brown goshawks and brown falcons, soaring across the sky. Black cypress pines, grevilleas, lomandras and heath feature commonly on the landscape. There are many tall grass trees in this area too, some of which are believed to be hundreds of years old.
This is a large property that is taking a break from sheep farming. Covered in gum trees and pines and lots of open space. The property has a creek with all year round water holes and dams. You can do almost anything you want. Hiking, fishing, swimming, camping and living the dream.
There's emus (bush chooks), kangaroos (hopping dogs), platypus and no drop bears, meaning you can sit back, relax and go back to the way it was.
Self sufficient campers only, leave no trace. You must bring your own camping toilet and shower.
If booking under the Group listing, you will need to arrange you own portaloos, which I am happy to manage delivery/pick up of with the local hire company.
It's 15 minutes to the pub in town if you're up for a coldie or a meal.
Our farm is a work in progress.
