Sally and Brian invite you to enjoy camping on their beautiful property, surrounded by Yengo National Park and Crown land. Earthways is 134 ha (330 acre) property near Wollombi. All separate for your individual group- you won't see anyone else. 25minutes from Wollombi or Broke. Come and enjoy the noises of the bush and the clear night skies with no close human neighbors. Great for couples, families or larger groups or just come alone to enjoy the bush. We (Brian and Sally) have been re-vegetating the land and living here sustainably being “Off Grid” for over 45years, surrounded by bush with 3km of Stockyard creek meandering through the valley. We would love to share this paradise with those wanting to get away from wifi and the hustle and bustle of city life. (for emergencies we have satellite phone) Children under 4yrs are free. Dogs welcome but kept on a lead during the evening. No leeches and No ticks in this area. NO close neighbors. Perfect spot to pitch your tent or set up your camper in the valley. Lots of sunshine and lots of shade. Easy dirt road access (5km) Some sites require/recommend 4WD -some 2WD is fine. Check each site separately. Come and take advantage of the Wollombi Valley's beautiful scenery and atmosphere. Sit and relax or get adventurous and explore the area. The historic village of Wollombi is only 25 minutes away, and has cafes, shop, museum and the Wollombi Tavern. The popular Broke and Pokolbin wine regions are a short 25-40 minute drive away in the opposite direction. Yengo National Park has some wonderful look out spots-great to drive to Finchley lookout to watch the sun set or check out Aboriginal art sites. No guarantee but...You may see wombats, kangaroos, echidnas, goanna's, kookaburras, bower birds, lyre birds, superb blue wren, gang gangs, black cockatoos and so many other native birds/creatures. Stunning rock features, caves, diverse ecosystems with abundant native fauna and flora. We are situated in a valley. Each of our camp sites are for your own private space.

Weekend Trip to Native Dog Camping

Very tranquil place. Plenty of room. We managed to have the place to ourselves for the weekend. Was tight to turn in towards entrance, as there was a hump to the right and the van lent quite a bit, but went in OK, same with going out. 21 foot van.

Weekend Trip to Wollombi Private Earthways camp

We feel incredibly lucky to have discovered Sally and Brian’s beautiful property. The peaceful seclusion and natural beauty of the surrounding bushland were exactly what we were looking for. The “Goanna Site” was spacious and perfect for our two families to relax and enjoy a weekend of exploring. Brian and Sally were wonderful hosts, giving us a fantastic tour of the land, including the remarkable Aboriginal art. We're truly grateful to them for sharing their home with us. We will be visiting again!

This is a beautiful spot to camp. The Rocky view site is huge and would suit big groups but it was still really private for just two of us. Brian and Sally were great hosts.

Weekend Trip to Wollombi Private Earthways camp

What a beautiful experience staying with Brian and Sally! A wonderful warm welcome and clear directions were provided and we had a relaxing weekend unwinding and having a proper switch off with no phone service and a complete disconnect from the world for a few nights. We enjoyed complete privacy and a beautiful big area for our pups as well as the wonderful supplies that Brian and Sally offered including water at the site, toilet facilities and even a shower but we weren’t quite game in the heart of winter. Thanks for hosting us Brian and Sally, we had a fabulous weekend and will be regulars now we have found you.
