1 night at Artisans Park

My partner and I stayed in the WWII Army Communication Tower in the park and loved it! The views were outstanding and we were met with unbelievable sunset and sunrise. The tiny home was very tidy, filled with interesting books and other stuff, and the walk around the property is beautiful. Highly recommend!

5 nights at "Oakview" Tarana

Oakview - Bushcamp 2 was exactly as described and just what we wanted over Easter...Peace & Quiet. We didn't see another person till our last day, when Sally rode in on her horse to say g'day.

3 nights at Artisans Park

Artisans Lark Is a weird and wonderful destination. Kangaroos as far as the eye can see. The host is accomodating and always happy to give tips for day trips and sightseeing opportunities.

4 nights at Riveroak Farm

What a fantastic place Riveroak Farm - Rapids Campsite is. We were eagerly greeted at the gate by the 3 resident Guard Dachshunds who approved our entry. Thru the gate to the left where we were immediately surrounded by 6 very friendly horses, all of who thought the grass was much greener in the laneway outside their paddock. Many thanks to Nick who helped us through. We spent 4 days camped there while exploring the surrounding Bathurst Oberon region. The campsite is a long strip of the bottom paddock bordered on one side by the Fish River and it's gentle flowing rapids, (which our Golden Retriever absolutely loved) and behind was the large paddock which housed the horses. The campsite is situated at the bottom of the property so the noise from the road was barely noticeable. The Beach campsite is about 100m down from the Rapids so there is plenty of room. We loved camping here, very quiet and serine. I would defiantly recommend it.

1 night at On the Stone River Retreat

Private on the river. Great access and excellent communication. Will be back.

Great camping sites, spaced out well. Real Aussie bush with lots of creeks, animals. Cliffs, hills etc, and we had the place to ourselves. Just need to win the lottery to buy it.

1 night at Good Paddock

Nice and quiet place. If you want to hang out with your friends, this is perfect one.

1 night at Watton Airstrip

Awesome big backyard. Hosts are friendly and amazing. We had fun camping out at the rapids. The sound of the rapid was relaxing. The photos don't give justice until you finally see the place in person. One of my favorite camp sites. Definitely would like to be back!

2 nights at Camp Crudine

Great campsite by the Crudine River. Love the grass and the overhead trees. Thanks for hosting me.

Weekend Trip to Watton Airstrip

I didn’t want to leave a review as I want this place to stay secret it is that good but it is too good not to share. I fell in love with this place it is such a nice campground with lots of space between sites and heaps of space for the dogs to run around. The river was beautiful and the composting toilet is a very nice touch. The whole area was very clean. There are also horses that are very friendly and would come up to the campsite for a scratch, and the alpacas were very cute but one was a bit protective of its mate and not a fan of dogs - which is totally fine you just need to be able to control your dogs to keep away (which you should be doing anyway so they don’t disturb the farm animals). Tammie and Damien were very helpful with directions and even choosing a better site for us and our dogs as we were coming in late from Sydney. Another note - you definitely need 4wd to access the sites I thought it might have been an over exaggeration and we nearly took our awd instead but luckily we took our 4wd Ute instead haha. 10/10 camp ground can’t wait for my next visit 💓
