This 1/2 acre site is suitable for small camping stays and campervans. It's dog friendly and has great mobile and 3/4G reception especially for Optus and Telstra. Two wheel drive vehicles can park on the pad just past the entry which is perfectly level or the gravel landing just before the entry which is almost level. The site is in a great location on the last residential block of historic picturesque Rockley in the Central Tablelands (Wiradjuri Country) NSW. Surrounded by nice paddocks remnant bushland screens the site from the no through road (about 5 cars a day) provides shade and brings in birdlife and other animals. You might even see an echidna or koala! On the main street about 10mins walk from Bindari is the Rockley Pub by Matt Moran plus a few other trinket shops. The pub is open Thursday-Sunday and has great pub meals and a good vibe. You can leave your vehicle parked at Bindari and take the short walk through the very pleasant historic village. Different routes there and back make for a nice round trip to explore the scenery of the old gold rush village on foot. The easiest way to get to Bindari at Rockley from Sydney is by taking the Rockley road from Bathurst. From Sydney take the Great Western Highway (A32) up and through the Blue Mountains, a stop in Blackheath works well as it’s about ½ way. Then down the steep Victoria Pass into the Central Tablelands and straight through mostly dual carriageways turning left just before Bathurst onto Rockley Road. The scenic route is lovely and actually shorter but very tricky to navigate with phone reception dropping out and maps behaving strange as you are not taking the ‘main’ road. Add in a few potholes, unmarked road features, wildlife and country drivers coming at you in the opposite direction and there are as many surprises as there are wonders. But if you are a confident driver ready to take it slow when needed you are in for an enjoyable journey. At South Bowenfels, before Lithgow, take the off road at the service station (a good place to do a last check of fuel, tyres etc) and head towards Tarana, a lovely country pub. Next landmark is the O'Connell Hotel then put Rockley into the maps. This should bring you across the country through some amazing views but very tricky driving the first time you do it. So stay sharp (especially at night with wombats, rabbits and roos on the road) and only drive to the road conditions and your experience level.

Tent site · Sleeps 4
This large tent site is buffered from the street and neighbours by bushes and tall grass in the remnant bushland. It's slightly bumpy but the grass is long and nice. You are just far away enough from the picnic hut to have separation but not have to trek. Take a walk up the small paths and hill past the sheds and through the garden paths to the composting toilet.

This cosy and fairly private site is buffered by the casuarina tree on one side and small railway sleeper retaining walls and tall grass on the other side. The ground is dry and flat and the grass is ok but not amazing. Various paths and steps lead to it so you have options on which direction to pitch your tent entrance. Glimpses of the view through the valley to Oberon and the horses in the next paddock make it very pleasant. The steps to the picnic hut are intentionally a bit shrouded by the she-oak tree. Take a walk up the small paths and hill past the sheds and through the garden paths to the composting toilet.

Campervan pad & entrance

RV/tent site · Sleeps 4 · Vehicles under 5 m
This is the parking spot and also has my caravan so isn't large or super amazing but still a very nice spot. Carefully manoeuvring your campervan and you will have a lovely spot to chill and sleep and access to the picnic hut just past the frog pond. Take a walk up the small paths and hill past the sheds and through the garden paths to the composting toilet.

Jeremy is a wonderful host - he took the time to videocall us prior to our stay to show us around and gave us plenty of tips for a great experience. The camp spot is exactly as described, beautifully quiet and with gorgeous views. Firewood is available if needed (for a small fee) the rain water tanks are super handy for washing the dishes, boil water and even shower! Would definitely recommend.
