Elouera Vale is a working farm located just outside Mittagong NSW. We breed and train camels for sale, especially into the Southern Highlands. Camels are excellent for weed control and co-grazing with cattle. 'Elouera Vale' also breeds Belted Galloway cattle, Dorper and Wiltipol sheep and donkeys.
Our property covers over 140 acres, 80 acres cleared and pasture improved and the rest consisting of forest. The Chain O Ponds creek runs through the property and makes for a lovely walk. You will probably get to see kangaroo, wallaby, wombats, echidnas, koalas and lots of bird life.
The lush green hills abound with walking and cycling trails. You can head to the spectacular Nattai Gorge via the Box Vale Mine walking track, an easy 4.4km circular walk that follows an old railway line through a tunnel to breath-taking views. Enjoy a picnic in the magnificent Lake Alexandra Reserve or hike up extinct volcanic peak Mount Gibraltar.
The closest shops are approximately a 15 minute drive to the Mittagong Town Centre where you will find all the shops, cafes and restaurants for your needs. It is well worth a visit to ‘The Shaggy Cow’ cafe, one of our favourite foodie spots (don’t forget to mention Elouera Vale).
While you're here please try the Cool Climate wines. The region’s rich soil and high altitude are ideal for cool-climate wine growing. Visit cellar doors in the hills and valleys around Mittagong, including Centennial Vineyards. Enjoy a pleasant wine tasting experience at Centennial (don’t forget to mention us).

this place is so amazing along with the host - it’s an absolute hidden treasure that once you know you will return - it’s in a great spot for exploring the Jervis Bay Area - it has the best communal area and an outdoor bath in the forest that is private to your booking - I almost don’t want to review this because I want to make sure I get to revisit !! But Magali and her place need a shout out as she has poured so much love into creating a beautiful camping experience :)

We stayed at Rangers 1st Flat as a group of three families, all with 4WDs and off-road camper trailers, and had a wonderful stay. It’s a beautiful spot with easy access to a quiet section of the river, which we absolutely loved. While the 'flat' isn't actually perfectly flat, we’re well set up and had no issues adjusting to make it work.
It was only a few minutes’ walk to the drop toilet, which we were very grateful for. Being able to forage for firewood was a real highlight, and the concrete campfire pad was a great bonus and made fires easy and safe.
Our only challenge was finding the location initially. The very detailed directions were actually a bit confusing, and we couldn’t clearly read the signs on the gate. Coming from Nelligen, we were unsure we were in the right place and did drive past it at first. Once we found the gate marked Bull Paddock, everything became much clearer and the internal signage around the property was great.
The location itself is fantastic — about a 30-minute drive to the beach, and we also took a day trip past Milton to the National Park for a hike.
Thanks so much to Trish for having us. We had a great time and would happily return.

Great spot! The BBQ area was a great facility and put on entertainment and food on offer for NYE. The shower and toilet block was always very clean and tidy and had plenty of hot water. Nice spread out space to set up camp and not feel too close to others, even though it was a busy time. Very friendly staff in the office too.

Absolutely stunning!! Generous, private sites sitting above the river. My teenage boys and I spent 6 nights exploring the river, fishing and just hanging out. I didn’t see a single screen the whole time - they just loved it. 25 minutes to the highway and then access to all the south coast’s treasures. So good that I’m taking my partner back this week!

Do not come here if you don't have a FWD or someone that knows how to FWD. It is an incredible place with very friendly staff and beautiful amenities and a pool, great price for the experience. We brought a Mitsubishi Express van down the very steep and very windy dirt track and she barely made it down and back in one piece, I would not recommend bringing an RV or non-FWD van/bus down here, and especially not a camper trailer. Still absolutely stunning and would recommend to anyone that can handle it.

Site: 5/5 ⭐️ Views: 5/5⭐️ Amenities: 3/5⭐️ Wow! My partner and I were looking for a place to stay and we randomly came across this place on Hipcamp. The photos do not do this place justice at all, the land is incredibly large and the river that has some sand which is so serene. We enjoyed 1 night here and really wished we could have spent at least 2-3! There is so much space, we had an awesome view and the river was beautiful to swim in. It took a little while to drive in with it being predominantly gravel road all the way in, but the nevertheless, WORTH THE TREK! We were greeted by lovely staff and a big Great Dane at the front office who were super lovely and informative. Amenities are small but good. We are self contained travellers so it was fine for us. Absolutely love this place and can’t recommend enough! 😍😍

It's was a lovely maintained area, public amenities relatively close by, absolutely loved the 10.30pm noise curfew although a family right across from us tried to have a rave until 11pm however we could see staff had told them twice to quieten down... they reluctantly did 😆 ideally a toilet block in each zone would be better but still enjoyed our stay here.
