Our family have lived at ‘Edgecote’ for eighteen years. We are predominantly horse breeders and trainers, however have some cattle and many dogs. We love the great outdoors and especially enjoy this ‘bottom paddock’ because of all the trees and the bird life. The dam gives the space a cool feel and a place for dogs to swim and retrieve.

The kids gave it an unwavering 5 stars. Loved that they could watch the horses in the nearby paddock and pat them over the fence. Dawn kindly took us for a ride in the back of the ute to see the whole property and to meet the donkey. Caretaker, Mark, met us on arrival and was lovely and helpful. We had heaps of space, great access to shower and toilet and was close to Tamworth. Well worth the stay.

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

Jenny and John were fantastic hosts. Beautiful, down to earth people that have a put a lot of work into ensuring guests are comfortable, looked after and happy. The property is private and spacious, a close drive to town, and the perfect place to retreat to each day. Beautiful sunsets, showers and toilets were always clean too. Meeting Ted the resident pooch was a bonus! Will definitely be back. Thanks for having us!

Amazing spot just far enough outside Tamworth. This is an absolute gem with new bathrooms with showers. Pool for cooling down and lots of space. We slept very soundly as it is peaceful here in the evenings. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great spot within an easy drive to Tamworth. Great hosts who have put so much effort into every little detail.

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!

So friendly and helpful. Freedom of choosing own site and changing it if not to liking. Horse farm atmosphere with basic facilities. Three mornings a week with free coffee and donuts at 8am with chance to sit and chat with other campers. Very relaxed atmosphere. A lot of campers did not leave during day but spent time relaxing.

Camping at Hillside met our expectations. Camp host Dawn was friendly and helpful. The campground had great facilities Loved the outdoor shower!! Toilets were clean. Really enjoyed the morning coffee and donuts at 8am! It was easy to get to Tamworth. Plenty of space and green grass. The campground was nice and quiet But, passing traffic was a bit annoying, especially in a rooftop tent. Nevertheless I am happy to recommend this property

We had a wonderful experience at Dawns. She was so accomodating and went above and beyond providing morning donuts whilst we were there. Portaloos during the festival were super well kept. Lots of space for everyone and such beautiful views of the surrounds. Perfect festival accommodation.

The best great views camping near Tamworth guide
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.
