Frog Rock Hideaway

68km from Wellington · 5 sites · Tents, RVs
Nestled in the peaceful locality of Frog Rock, only 15 minutes from the charming rural town of Mudgee, this property offers a true country escape with front-row seats to nature’s evening show - Roos, wombats, views, sunsets and starry nights. Each campsite has its own unique outlook—some are tucked away for those chasing solitude, while others are perfect for groups wanting to share the experience. All sites are self-contained, and we kindly ask guests to leave the place as they found it. Pack out what you pack in—take only photographs and leave only footprints. There’s nothing quite like a campfire to bring people together. So bring your marshmallows, your favourite drinks, and your best stories—or dancing boots, if that’s more your vibe. Firewood is available and fires are allowed in designated areas only, pending local fire restrictions. Wildlife lovers, you’re in for a treat. Eastern Grey kangaroos, Swamp wallabies, and even the majestic Wallaroo often make an appearance and if you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the Red-necked wallaby. By night, the Common wombat comes out for a graze and spotlighting campers may see possums and owls in the trees. Please respect our wild locals and ensure all dogs are kept on lead. Just 7 minutes down the road is Small Batch Brewery—a local favourite for craft beer lovers—and the iconic Cooyal Pub is within easy reach. Of course, Mudgee’s renowned wineries are right around the corner, waiting to be explored. Frog Rock Hideaway is your perfect base to unwind, reconnect, and soak up the best of country NSW.

Approximately 45 minutes from Orange, 4 hours from Sydney. The region between Molong and Parkes offers scenic views, bush walking, bush camping, picnic areas, mountain biking trails, and 4WD touring. To the northwest lies Goobang National Park that includes Caloma lookout, one of the high points in the Wanda Wandong sector of Goobang National Park. The area is a bird watchers' paradise - you can often spot birds of prey, such as wedge-tailed eagles, brown goshawks and brown falcons, soaring across the sky. Black cypress pines, grevilleas, lomandras and heath feature commonly on the landscape. There are many tall grass trees in this area too, some of which are believed to be hundreds of years old. This is a large property that is taking a break from sheep farming. Covered in gum trees and pines and lots of open space. The property has a creek with all year round water holes and dams. You can do almost anything you want. Hiking, fishing, swimming, camping and living the dream. There's emus (bush chooks), kangaroos (hopping dogs), platypus and no drop bears, meaning you can sit back, relax and go back to the way it was. Self sufficient campers only, leave no trace. You must bring your own camping toilet and shower. If booking under the Group listing, you will need to arrange you own portaloos, which I am happy to manage delivery/pick up of with the local hire company. It's 15 minutes to the pub in town if you're up for a coldie or a meal. ​Our farm is a work in progress.

Hillside Harvest Orchard

78km from Wellington · 6 sites · Tents, RVs
Hillside is a 75 acre working orchard growing cherries, stonefruit, apples and pears. Amongst the rows of fruit trees is a small block of eucalypts and three dams, one of which is quite large and suitable for swimming, paddling and fishing in. Dawn and dusk brings a variety of birds and kangaroos and skies painted in colour. In summer and autumn you can pick your own fruit. In winter put on your coat and take a walk whilst breathing in the fresh, crisp air. In spring, buds burst open and all the trees are covered in beautiful blossoms. The orchard is in the heart of Cabonne Shire, the fruit bowl of Central West NSW. Orange is renowned for its wineries, restaurants and cafes. At our farm stall you can grab a coffee, light lunch and a great variety of local produce including fruit, vegetables, eggs, honey, olive oil and jams. Just minutes away, Mt Canobolas and Lake Canobolas offer great bushwalking and mountain biking and Borenore Caves is amazing for exploring. Or visit one of the many local wineries. Our neighbours at Orange Mountain Estate Wines are less then 100m walk from our camp sites. A visit with them is a perfect way to finish your day and then stroll back to camp. We accept caravans, camper trailers, motorhomes and tents to stay at our property. You must be fully self contained (except Site 1). All sites, except for Site 1, are located within the farm. This is not your average campground, and what makes it special is being able to camp in the orchard. Whilst we do our best not to disturb you, the site is in a working farm, with orchard work possible at all hours. Sites, whilst relatively flat have not been levelled and being in a paddock, can be uneven. There are no facilitates, and this includes toilets, access to water or electricity and lights.
