Activities include bushwalking, mountain biking, fishing for trout or yellow belly in the farm dams, watching spectacular sunrises or sunsets from elevated parts of the New England landscape, watching your campfire crackle (fire season permitting), visiting the nearby Dobson's Gin Distillery or Kentucky General Store (10-12 km), or treating yourself to Uralla's many fine eateries or shopping experiences just 20 km up the highway.
Bimbivale is also just 45 minutes from Tamworth and its Country Music Festival and AELEC (Australia Equine & Livestock Events Centre), or just 30 minutes from Armidale, host city to the University of New England and base for visiting the many National Parks and World Heritage Wilderness areas the region offers.
Our camp sites are located along a central ridge line, which is fully accessible by motorhomes, caravans, camper trailers and two wheel drive cars in dry weather conditions. Most sites have a fire pit and access to water, but we recommend you byo drinking water. We can top up drinking water if required.
Currently we prefer visitors who have their own ensuite/toilet facilities, although we will soon offer a toilet on-site. Sometimes we can offer eggs and fruit or vegetables from our orchard and garden.
We are happy for your well-behaved dog to visit with you, as long as it remains confined or on a leash at all times.
If you have more than 6 guests or 3 cars in your group, please book additional sites and we can ensure you are all able to camp together.

57km from Tamworth · 1 site
Welcome to our river retreat. Ideal for those seeking privacy, peace and solitude away from the socials and technology. Kingfisher's Hut sits on 80 acres of our 240 acre property, on a high bank overlooking the Macdonald River as it makes it way towards the confluence with the Namoi River. Ideally suited for a couple (children and fur babies also welcome) or small groups, and those who are new to a nature escape holiday. A small solar system provides lighting (but not recharging of devices). Our insulated cabin provides a comfortable double bed (bring your own linen and pillows) and pot belly stove for the colder months. Our bush kitchen provides your basic needs with a BBQ, 12 volt fridge, and fully equipped camp kitchen. Our open fire is set up for cooking or for just sitting, relaxing and staring into the flames. Our bush bathroom provides a toilet and wood fired hot shower. Or you might chose to relax in a hot bath overlooking the river.
We welcome nature lovers and offer activities such as bush walking, bird watching, native wildlife, swimming, picnicking, kayaking (double kayak provided), catch and release fishing (seasonal and with current Fishing Licence), and big open night skies for astronomy enthusiasts. We are a small farming enterprise and currently establishing aquaculture (yabby) ponds and can offer an introductory tour to those who are interested.
The hut sleeps two (double bed) but there is plenty of room for those who wish to bring a camper trailer or van or pitch a tent. As a working property, you may need to navigate around the odd cow pat! We have recently installed an old roof top ten on legs which can sleep two (double bed size).
We do ask that you carefully read our rules (see link) to avoid any conflict with neighbouring properties or our attempts at retaining a relatively undisturbed, healthy river environment and not negatively impact our surrounding community.
We will always have a meet and greet with our guests at some point during your stay, but promise we won't intrude upon your privacy.

We are 12 kms from the New England Highway, 20 kms from both Wallabadah and Nundle, and 57 kms from Tamworth.
Of the 3 towns, Nundle is the most historic - not surprising given its gold mining beginnings. But its been the grazing community on which its thrived since the latter part of the 19th century.
Gold mining has largely been superseded by forestry and tourism, with Chaffey Dam providing a great playground for water sports, and Sheeba Dam in the natural beauty of Hanging Rock.
The history of the region is told on the walls of the Peel Inn, which along with 'Glenoak', a once leading merino stud in the district, now cattle property, has been owned by the Schofield family since the 1860's.
In the last 50 years, Robert and Margaret Schofield have been delivering a tasty combination of traditional Australian and Asian dishes, depending on the backgrounds of visiting chefs.
Our property currently runs the 2 leading breeds of dairy sheep - East Fresians and Awassis. of sheep, for on farm cheese production. Our adjoining neighbors run 800 head of Angus breeders. The area abounds with wildlife.
Park or pitch your tent within the grounds of the house, with access to outdoor bathroom (toilet and shower) facilities, adjacent to the laundry with washer and dryer. There is access to a picnic table, rubbish facilities and reliable wi-fi.
Our property is ideal for the quiet escape. Goonoo Goonoo Creek is on our property.
Quality dual suspension mountain bikes are available to guests to ride on the property or adjoining backroads. Or you may prefer to go for a walk instead.
Stay toasty around the campfire in the evenings as you gaze at the night sky.
The property is 2WD accessible and there's sufficient space for a caravan, motorhome, campervan or camper trailer, and of course, tents.
Dogs and cats are not allowed.

Our stay at Oakey Farm was wonderful. The facilities were spotless and there was ample spots to park our van. Jenny was incredibly responsive. The pool was so refreshing and a bit of a hub for all of us camping. The trip into Tamworth was quick but we were far enough out to enjoy the stars. If I'm ever back out that way, I'll be staying again! Thanks Jenny!

Thankyou so March for our wonderful stay at Oakley Farm. You and John made us feel like part of the family and enjoyed our chats especially chatting to John about wind farms and solar very interesting. We had 3 couples join us at our stay and were all really happy to be the first caravans to try out your new 4 powered sites especially with the 38 degree days and the chance to cool off in your pool. The gardens and pool area are a credit to both of you we really enjoyed our drinks and cheese platters under the tree’s. I don’t believe you would find a better place to stay for the music festival in Tamworth and will certainly be back in the coming years. Oh almost forgot it was great having the extra two toilets and showers that you had recently installed so close to our vans. Wishing you both a great 2026 and continued success with Oakley Farm on Hipcamp. Sue and Peter Lawer

Amazing camping spot close to Tamworth. Really outstanding hosts who keep the property spotless and welcoming. New bathrooms were extremely well kept and nice to have showers and toilets. This is just far enough out of Tamworth for a great peaceful nights sleep and an easy quick drive into Tamworth. It was a perfect spot for the festival TCMF as it is very close but also a spot away from the crowds to relax and enjoy the view. We will definitely be back!

Where to go
Western Tablelands
Rolling farmlands and vineyards stretch north and west of Tamworth. Stop by the gold rush towns of Barraba and Bingara, camp out by Copeton Lake, or go hiking in the Horton Falls National Park. Further afield, hike or mountain bike through the volcanic landscapes of Mount Kaputar National Park, or cool off with a dip in the Rocky Creek Glacial Area.
Eastern Tablelands
East of Tamworth, wild rivers and forested gorges blanket the landscapes, and there are seven national parks within reach. Hike through World Heritage-listed Gondwana rainforest in the Oxley Wild Rivers National Park, explore off-road in a 4WD in the Carrai National Park, or pitch your tent at remote campgrounds in the Mummel Gulf National Park.
Nundle
Just south of Tamworth, dive into Australia’s gold rush history in Nundle, take in the views from the Hanging Rock Lookout, or go trout fishing along the creeks. Nearby, Lake Keepit is an idyllic spot for campers, where you can swim, fish, and enjoy water sports in the summer months.
When to go
Tamworth is undoubtedly a festival town, and it’s worth timing your visit for one of its famous events. The Tamworth Country Music Festival is held in January, but there’s also the Hats Off To Country Music Festival in July, the Australian Stock Horse National Show in March, and the Taste Tamworth foodie festival in April. Just book your campsite well in advance—the small city can get crowded at these times.
Know before you go
- Tamworth has bus links to the surrounding towns, but you’ll need your own vehicle to explore the tablelands and national parks.
- Tamworth has a selection of shops where you can pick up camping gear and stock up on supplies.
- Fire bans are common in New South Wales during summer and dry periods, so check local recommendations before lighting a fire.
- A permit is required to camp within NSW’s national parks, and campsites must be booked in advance.
Nearby attractions
- Well worth the visit for those camping near the Peel Valley, Chaffey Dam is an engineering marvel surrounded by pristine parkland.
- An historic venue and an interesting tale in revival, the Tamworth Showgrounds have evolved over the last century to be the impressive event space that it is today.
