Oakford's Place
Great Easter weekend at Oakfords Pl
We had a wonderful weekend at Oakfords Place. Neil and Laura were fantastic hosts. I would highly recommend this property. There is a little bit of highway noise but it's not annoying. The campsites on this property are all very well spaced and you have your whole area to yourself. Thank you Neil and Laura for a wonderful weekend.

Campfire Chronicles
Loved our stay!
We spent a lovely few days at Laura and Neil’s beautiful farm and definitely recommend it. Due to it being quite wet in the week leading into our stay, our hosts were prepared to give us a couple of alternate sites if we weren’t keen to take our caravan down to the Creekside site we’d booked. Deciding to take the Valley Views site did not disappoint. The views were amazing and the peace and serenity of the farm was so therapeutic. We were treated to beautiful sunrises, sunsets and a star-filled sky from the elevated and flat Valley Views site. Perfect for us city-dwellers who rarely have such an uninterrupted view of nature’s beauty. There were other campers on the property but nobody nearby and it was like we were the only ones there. Thank you Laura and Empty Pockets farm.

Digger's Rest
Peaceful and private
We stayed on the Diggers Rest site. 'Rest' is a great word as it was very restful. The site is out of the way so extremely private and quiet, just insects and birds - lovely. The hosts are very welcoming, helpful, caring and accommodating. Recommend.

Oakford's Place
What a beautiful area with loads of cows and farm life bustling! Laura and her family were kind and welcoming and checked in on us in the rain! We loved our time away in beautiful surrounds and went walking and exploring the area! Absolutely would recommend. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!! We will be back!

Oakford's Place
Very Peaceful and Relaxing Spot
We had a fantastic relaxing time at Empty Pockets Oakford's Place on the weekend. Laura and Neil were awesome hosts, and it was cool to have Annabelle come down on her bike to give us some complimentary stubby coolers. We really appreciated that :) The Oakford's Place is a beautiful little flat campsite carved out of the bush with plenty of space, a shelter if you don't want to unpack your Gazebo, a long drop toilet and a nice firepit. We were testing some new camping gear so we used our new Gazebo and toilet :) and although we did get some firewood, we were a bit tired and crashed out early without having a fire. While there was a little road noise from the nearby highway on occasion, it never disturbed us at all. The stars were also a definite highlight as well.
Be aware that there is no Optus reception, at all, and only very very sporadic Telstra reception - which did not bother us one bit! We appreciated the silence! :)
An added bonus is - The Yarraman Bakery is just down the road, where you can get some awesome pies! Thank you Laura, Neil and Annabelle! We will definitely be returning in the future :)
