Our campsite is very private next to the seasonal 'Thumbies Creek'. Our family has been here since the early 1820s. A great family-friendly campsite for those seeking a bush experience.

2WD most of the year unless rain, then need 4WD. Pets not permitted. Campfires permitted in a designated area only when restrictions aren't in place. Plenty of firewood around to gather fallen timber.
All campers have the opportunity to join in our animal feeding every afternoon at 4pm, we'll take you along with us as we feed the chooks, working dogs, pody lambs and whatever else is happening on the farm!

Camp on the banks of the permanent Thumbies Creek. With lots of bird life, kangaroos and the odd wallaby. You will need a four wheel drive to get into The Junction. Set amongst mature gum trees, only 300 meters from the road. Lots of thing to do in the district, with the historic villages of Carcoar and Milthorpe.

Accommodation in the old shearers quarters on Dairy Park. The quarters are separate to the other accommodations on Dairy Park. Situated 1.5 km from the closest neighbour. You can't even see them. Ideal if your looking for social distancing.
The Secrets campsite offers a serene escape, nestled among rolling hills with breathtaking views of both sunrise and sunset. Guests consistently praise the privacy and tranquility, noting the clean facilities like the flushing toilet and the convenience of having water on tap. Liz and Grant, the hosts, are frequently highlighted for their warm hospitality and the engaging farm activities, especially animal feeding, which is a hit with kids. While a few reviews mention the need for a 4WD during wet conditions, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with visitors eager to return.
Such a beautiful stay! Peaceful, cosy and everything I wanted and needed for a solo getaway.
Watching the sunrise and sunset over the farmland was incredible.
Thank you for a unforgettable stay 🩷
beautiful spot, very quiet, will be going back. Grandkids loved roaming up and down the creek. Grant and Lizzy very friendly we felt very welcome on their property.
This is a fantastic place. Grant and Lizzie were lovely and gave great information to local gems (try cafe, Rustic Nature, in Neville). It is wonderfully isolated surrounded only by incredible nature. The sunsets are magnificent. We will certainly be back.
Great spot to stay in the Cowra/Orange region.
Site was private, toilet clean.
Feeding the chickens, working dogs and calves was entertaining. Pool was great on a hot day.
Lovely people, look forward to staying again soon.
Really awesome stay! Loved the campsite and location. Brilliant sunsets and stargazing. Hosts were very friendly and hospitable! Super private. Facilities were clean and exceeded expectations.
Beautiful location overlooking rolling hills, we stayed only one night but could have easily stayed longer.
The property offers absolute privacy which was lovely........and a flushing loo, fantastic.
Grant was such a nice host and made us feel so very welcome. We can't wait to come back again.
Unfortunately we weren’t prepared enough for the extreme weather but the campsite was great! Working toilet close by which is handy. Nice open space with campfire, bin and running water. Didn’t get a chance to join the animal feeding but would like to try again another time!
We took a caravan and camper trailer to the secrets camping ground. Track in was easy and the spot was secluded and perfect for a weekend away with family and friends. The toilet was a nice bonus and very clean! The use of the pool was nice for a hot day and our little one loved the animal feeding. Overall a great experience and would recommend.
It was a amazing solo camping. Loved it. Swimming pool was an another means of having fun in sunny day. Kids also enjoyed animal feeding. Highly recommended for someone or group who love to enjoy nature but not the crowds especially neighboring campers.
We absolutely loved our stay at The Secrets campsite! Grant and Lizzie are wonderful hosts who were happy to give their time to talk us through farm life. Our kids loved feeding the animals and we were lucky enough to be there for sheep sheering day. The campsite is private and peaceful.
Great location and perfect for the weekend away- Grant and Lizzie were extremely easy to communicate with making the booking seamless. Look forward to returning-
Absolutely beautiful campsite with the loveliest hosts you could ever meet. we were made to feel so welcome :-) If only we lived closer we would be here many times a year.
We absolutely loved our stay at The Secrets campsite - it’s a peaceful scenic oasis that we had all to ourselves. Plenty of exploring for all to do! The animal feeding in the afternoon was a sure highlight for my nephews (who keeps asking throughout the day when we were going up to see Liz and Grant).
Liz and Grant are amazing hosts who offered much information about the farm and its history. We will be returning again! Thank you!
Liz and Grant were wonderful hosts! Very welcoming and friendly, and made sure our stay was comfortable. The site was well maintained, very private and absolutely stunning! We really enjoyed exploring the property and helping to feed the animals each afternoon before sitting around the campfire each night. The flushing toilet at the campsite was very clean, just a short walk up the hill from the campsite. We are already talking about when we can visit again!
Grant and Lizzie were very welcoming and we had a relaxing Easter holiday at this peaceful place. Please be mindful that 4WD vehicle is required to get into the Junction and camp toilet or at least a shovel is necessary as there is no other amenities except drinking water.
A secluded spot in an absolutely cracking location. First trip with the wife and child, running water and a toilet made it super easy. Sitting around the fire with the family, watching the starts and listening to the wildlife. Unbeatable.
We will be back for sure.
Our group loved the experience which Grant and Lizzie had to offer. From meeting up with Liz and feeding the animals to cooling off in the pool. The little luxuries of a flushing toilet and water on tap made it just that much easier with little kids. Couldn't ask for more accommodating hosts, we will definitely be back!
Great communication from the hosts made for an easy experience getting to the site. The family loved their time here. Hope to be back with some friends soon.
Grant and Lizzie were wonderful hosts. Very welcoming, we loved the animal feeding opportunity and the campsite was just beautiful. Gods country is an understatement
We had our second group camp at the Secrets and it was just as magical as the first. Along with the fantastic amenities, we enjoyed incredible sunsets and full moon rises, echidna and frog and tadpole spottings, and just a wonderful time with good friends around a fire. The landscape is still super green. As it starts to warm up, remember to bring some shade with you. Thank you Grant and Liz for sharing your magic spot with us!
We followed Grant for about 10 minutes along a bit of a trail, then Grant left and we found ourselves surrounded by isolated beauty. We took a wander down to the creek and then set up our camp and sat for a while to soak it all in. The site was perfect for us, firewood a plenty, flushing toilet not too far away and a quiet you don’t often find.
Our 4 year old granddaughter loved joining Lizzie and traipsing around the farm feeding the animals, she loved the little chickens and the opportunity to bottle feed a calf.
The night was magical, seeing so many stars and listening to the sounds of the bush.
We had a wonderful time, our only regret was leaving.
We had a great time. The camp site was positioned well amongst the rolling hills. Flat and cleared area for our crew with a tent and a van. The onsite water and flushing toilet were a luxury. Our girls also enjoyed feeding the lamb.
We loved the secrets from the moment we arrived to the moment we left! Nestled in the hills with not another soul in site, we felt like we were world away and not 10km out of manduramah! Our hosts were absolutely lovely and the kids loved the afternoon animal feeding. Having an actual flushing toilet on site was a wonderful suprise! Highly recommend, we are already planning our next visit!
Our group had a fantastic time and the hosts were incredibly helpful both before and during our stay. They even made sure one of our group members in a wheelchair could be included in all the farm activities.
Great level camping area with a flushable toilet. Access to water and lots of activities for the kids to take part in around the farm.
Beautiful honey and lamb available for purchase too.
We met grant and lassie and they was lively hosts, grant drove us all the way to our camping spot because the rain they had before mate the rout not to smooth so he cut a new path for us yo the most amazing spot, the pictures of this place do not do it justice, the area was freshly cut but just enough to give us plenty of room around us and to the toilet but still surrounded by the long grass, the 2 minute walk to the creek was nice and the sleek is a amazing to relax and ha e a picnic, the toilet was a 1min walk up a small hill to that has a light in, there is also an area I there to set up a shower buy you will need to carry your water up the hill, so we decided to shower in camp with the views and it had been the best place iv ever had a shower, the view for sunsets are great so be sure to be there for that over all we was super happy with everything here and if your still reading this book this slice of paradise while you still can
The space was amazing lots of room to set up multiple tents, gazebo, fire pit and extra space for games. Pool was just a short drive away and definitely worth it. The bathroom on site was well maintained and just a walk away from the site. Grant and Lizzie were absolutely lovely. Would definitely recommend this spot.
