52km from Tenterfield · 4 sites · Tents, RVs · Tabulam, NSW

Lucky’s Ridge is a 120acres property of bush, heavily timbered with straight eucalyptus, situated north NSW, near Tabulam, at the foot of great dividing range. It’s subtropical (summer rain, dry winter usually, no frost). The primitive campgrounds have two compost toilets and two wood fired hot showers. Camp kitchen has a wood stove/oven, kitchen sink and benches (no fridge). All water taps are on rain water. There is a herb/veggies garden guest are welcome to pick from. Please be aware that there is only 12v power available (usb charging station), and Telstra reception is there but just and Optus is patchy. I have friendly dairy goats, sheep, cows, pigs and horses roaming on the property, maintaining the grass short and fertilised (watch for the poop!), and chickens, duck and rabbits, all mostly free range in the Permaculture garden and orchards near the house. I'm into homesteading, and I grow and raise (and butcher) most of my food. I enjoy sharing my land and experience with others, so I’ve recently had a primitive campground approved and open. It was mostly to host seasonal self reliant backpackers coming to pick blueberries at Mountain Blue, so it offers a bit more than just a place to camp, but it stays rather rustic. I’m also keen to host people interested in off grid living and sustainability or whoever wants to come and camp in this quiet, not crowded at all part of the bush. Hipcampers please be aware that from August til December, backpackers may be living at the campgrounds. If you are interested in a garden tour, feeding the animals, milking the goats and/or pony rides, please let me know in advance. We also have some mountain bike trails (jumps, etc) for keen riders (work in progress).

Weekend Trip to Valley Heights Texas QLD Bush Camp

What a gem. A beautiful peaceful, private bush camp. A large grassed area beside a big dam. Open spaces and an area amongst pine trees. Take your pick. Clean toilets and a great rustic shed. Plenty of good quality wood supplied. Wonderful hosts. Kangaroos, deer, emus, and birds abound. Magnificent sunsets over the water.

Great space. Lovely views and you get mobs of roos pass by, a quick visit from the horses in the morning,and plenty of stars and wildlife in the evening/night. Our 2 dogs loved the swim in the dam. Not far from the small town with all you need. Very private. We were only campers on site for 2 nights 😁. Firepits supplied and an interesting drop toilet. Land was flat enough for our caravan. Choose carefully when you come as there a lot of bindies, unfortunate for our dogs but we know now. Definitely would book here again, loved it.

We had such a fantastic time at this farm stay! Vicky and John were incredible hosts - so friendly and welcoming, and they kept us well stocked with firewood the whole time. The property itself is beautiful, peaceful and full of amazing wildlife! We saw so many animals! It’s the perfect spot to relax, unwind, and enjoy nature. We’ll definitely be back and can’t recommend this place highly enough!

Such a beautiful and peaceful space all to yourself. Heaps of room to choose the best spot to put your tent, really good amenities and *hot* shower! Oh, and the rock. That rock that I never wanted to leave, I could have sat and watched the evening roll in forever. Absolutely recommend this spot. If you can get yourself a few days off, come here! Stop at a winery, buy a bottle, and sit on the rock as the sun sets. Perfect. Andrew was so accommodating and prompt with communication. Easy and enjoyable.
