Primitive camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Our property is located just outside of the township of Nundle. Located near a semi-permanent creek, this level campsite is an ideal base camp for exploring Nundle, the Hanging Rock Lookout and Nundle State Forest. For fit hikers, there is a steep walk via a crown land stock reserve that will take you up to the top and into the Hanging Rock State forest. The lookout offers a scenic vantage point with excellent views of the Nundle valley below. Sheba Dams, south of the range, is an interesting spot for an outing with picnic and barbecue facilities in a bush setting abundant with trees, birds, lizards, wallabies and padamelons. This is regarded as good fossicking country with zircons, sapphires and other semi-precious stones to be found. You will be camping in a large open paddock, not shared with any other campers, and have a choice sites depending on your vehicle type. Sometimes you will be sharing the paddock with a small herd of friendly and curious speckle park cattle. The mommas currently have young calves. They come and go as they please on their grazing adventures across my whole property. Please let me know if you are worried about the cattle and I will move them. P.S: the creek in not currently running as it has been dry. If you need water, ask.This private campsite is located just outside of the township of Nundle near a semi-permanent creek and is a great base for exploring Nundle area and Hanging Rock areas, as well as a State Forest. The spacious area suits self-contained campers who bring their own camping toilet/shower, and drinking water supply. It is accessible by tar road and available to only one group of campers at the time. There is abundance of firewood and a choice of camping spots. Check before hand whether the creek is flowing or not if water is important.  For fit hikers, there is a steep walk via a crown land stock reserve that will take you up to the top and into the State forest.  The Hanging Rock lookout (8kms) offers a scenic vantage point with excellent views of the Nundle valley below. Sheba Dams in the Hanging Rock village (10kms) is a good spot for swimming and fishing, as well as a family outing with picnic and barbecue facilities in a bush setting abundant with trees, birds, lizards, wallabies and pademelons.  The State Forest is regarded as good fossicking country with gold, zircons, sapphires and other semi-precious stones to be found. Permit to fossick is required and can be obtained on the Service NSW website, Google "nsw state forest fossicking permit" The village of Nundle is nearby for all your supplies. For 2wd vehicles, the best camping area is straight ahead towards the group of trees and a green area with wood pile.  For 4wd vehicles, take your pick. Let me know in advance if you are coming with dogs and you would like to let off leash as I might have to move cattle to another area.

Private paddock camping
We had a great stay in our campervan on Alena’s property - no complaints at all! There was plenty of firewood and best of all had the whole site to ourselves!
