Rosnay is a pioneering organic farm in the Central West. The Statham family moved to Rosnay in 1996 and began renovating the run down farm using organic and biodynamic methods. They planted the first vines in 1997, and olives in 1999, as well as thousands of native trees, all planted and grown without any chemicals. The exclusive camping area is on the banks of a old farm dam in the middle of the olive grove. There are sheep and alpacas, and plenty of birds and kangaroos living there too. For those who prefer not to sleep out in the elements, we also offer a lovely farmstay guest house by direct booking. Rosnay is proud to be part of Rivers Road Organic Farms, an organic farming community title project.Our camping site is on the banks of a farm dam in the middle of our home block olive grove. During drought, the dam may be empty, but its still nice. The secluded camp site features a level tent or caravan/RV site next to a dam in an olive grove. We also provide a a camp kitchen which is a beautiful recycled timber hut, with a large deck right on the water, and kitted with wine glasses, basic utensils, cutlery and crockery, bar fridge, a gas cooker and a BBQ, sink, hot and cold running water (rain water), solar power, and a hot shower. There is a pit toilet (long drop) which may require you to BYO loo paper. There is a fire pit and there is plenty of fire wood to forage amongst the olives and gum trees. This is an exclusive site – no other campers – and there’s room for up to 10 people, unlimited tents and 2-3 vehicles / RVs / caravans. Maximum caravan size of 24feet due to trees and rows in the olive grove. We can help with local activities such as bike riding, walks, local attractions, farm and winery tours. Minimum 2 nights stay per booking. In April-May it might be a good idea to call us before booking in case there is olive harvesting scheduled at the same time.

Camping in the Olive Grove
A gorgeous setting amongst the olive grove, with a little dam and cute kitchen/dining hut delivering a relaxing camping experience. The location was peaceful and made you feel a million miles from anyone else, even though you were just a 5min meander to the cellar door - which has some excellent produce and wines! A great place to escape the rat race of the city and just be still. Will most certainly try to get out there again and next time for a day or two longer.

Camping in the Olive Grove
Sam was a very friendly host. He showed us around on arrival and we felt very welcomed. The camp kitchen was fitted out perfectly and the hot shower was very nice. There was plenty of exploring and the kids loved the treehouse. It was a perfect weekend away with the family amongst the olive grove. Thank you for sharing your family's farm with us. We will be back.

Camping in the Olive Grove
We absolutely loved our stay at Rosnay. Sam and everyone were so friendly, the amenities were great (rustic, but that’s what we love). Camping amongst the olive grove was such a great experience and the produce from the Cellar Door was delicious. We will be back for sure.

The camp site was excellent. Had everything needed and the addition of the long drop loo is very handy. Short walk to the cellar door for a tasting and the owners are very friendly. Highly recommended

Sam is an excellent host, very easy to communicate with. We had a wonderful weekend stay at Rosnay. We highly recommend checking out the cellar door for all the locally produce wine and goods he has on offer. We will definitely be back.

Camping in the Olive Grove
The campsite in the olive grove was excellent, plenty of space and the facilities enough to make for an easy, relaxing, and peaceful stay. I had three nights and enjoyed the birdlife, clear night skies, and the cellar door close by. The hot shower, gas cooker and fridge made the camping so easy it is a great place for a quick getaway.

Camping in the Olive Grove
Great location for solo or group camping. Stone's throw from the winery cellar door. We recommend getting a cheese platter with your tasting, fantastic experience! Really lovely and helpful hosts. Camp kitchen is well equipped for making food, with some basics to help out. Beautiful olive grove to explore. Plenty of wood for the fire. Awesome tree house for bigger kids.

Relaxing getaway
Camping in the Olive Grove
I had a solo trip to Rosnay over the Easter long weekend with the hopes of some R&R, and that's definitely what I got! The facilities are rustic with everything you need, including a hot shower and well equipped open air kitchen- complete with a deck overlooking the dam. The bell tent is surprisingly spacious and very cosy. I had planned to go exploring the area but ended up just chilling with a book in the hammock as it was so relaxing. The site is walking distance to the cellar door- the wine was amazing (try the sparkling Chardonnay!) and if that's not your thing there's also olives and figs. Hope to be back again, thanks for having me Sam and family!

Farmstay in the Olive Grove
The winery is amazingly beautiful. The hosts are extremely welcoming and helpful. We really enjoyed the peace and the beauty of the place. The place is extremely dog friendly. The accommodation is comfortable. I recommend the wine tasting and to ask information about the story of this family-owned winery. We were fascinated by the concept at the basis of this organic winery. I strongly recommend to spend some time in this magical place. The surrounding country side is beautiful. If it is hot, there are creeks in the surrounding and there is a swimming pool in the premises of the winery. Canowindra is very close and there are shops/pubs, a museum on the ages of the fishes (strongly recommended) and a public swimming pool. We loved it.

Farmstay in the Olive Grove
Sam and his family were lovely hosts. Their property is picturesque, quiet and has everything you need. The Glamping tent has a camp kitchen that is fully stocked, electricity, shower, drop toilet and views of the dam. Sam was nice enough to give us a tour of the farm and opened the cellar door for us. Rosnay makes organic wines, preserved olives and figs and also makes olive oil. It was a delight to stay and we would recommend this place highly

Farmstay in the Olive Grove
We had a recent short, three night break at the farmstay. The kids loved the treehouse and rode their bikes round the vineyard to walk our excited dog. A great, quiet base to explore from - Richard and Sam are good hosts and we got to see wine bottling and wine tasting. Went into Canowindra for a pub dinner and to hang out at the spotless 25m outdoor pool with great coffee nearby. I’d recommend as a spot to recharge and get away for a few days

Awesome weekend away. We celebrated our 10th anniversary there. We loved the fact it was far enough away from everything but within an hour from Orange to go enjoy some city luxury as we live in a small town ourselves. Would definitely go back with the kids.

Camping in the Olive Grove
My wife and I spent two glorious nights in the bell tent at Sams place this last week. Was just us, our dogs and a few alpacas and sheep. Nothing but the stack of books we had with us and a few glasses of wine. Sam is a lovely host. The sheets were cotton and the tent was cool in the middle of summer. The camp kitchen made the whole experience so easy. Our little dog loved the dam and we jumped in the canoe after the sun went down and lay back looking at the dark nights sky. Cheers mate. We will be back

We enjoyed our glamping experience. Right on the dam, nestled in the olive grove allowing us to experience the bird life. Our dog had a great time swimming in the dam fetching her ball.

Camping Amongst the Olive Groves
Camping in the Olive Grove
My hubby & I and our 2 dogs spent Christmas at Sam's beautiful property. The set up is perfect for campers that want to get away amongst nature and don't want the hassle of setting up a tent and bringing cooking equipment - everything is there ready for you when you get there aswell as your own shower and toilet. The site is in a stunning setting amongst olive groves overlooking a beautiful dam, which our dogs loved swimming in. It's is tranquil and so peaceful, nice and private but Sam is nearby if you need anything. Sam is a great host, very down to earth, friendly and made us feel very welcome.

Stayed at the Olive Grove for 3 nights. Really enjoyed our stay. The spot was really beautiful with lots of wildlife around. The site itself was surrounded by olive trees. On the clear nights we did a lot of star gazing. The kitchen they made is lovely. And the seating area looks out onto the water where you can go for a paddle in the canoe. The hosts were lovely - they make olive oil, wine and other items on the farm. Would recommend to anyone!
