Great stay at Fern Valley Ranch
This is our second time at Fern Valley Ranch and we loved it just as much. The walk to the water fall is lovely and the kids loved the farm animals. We will be back again!

Great camping spot with well-maintained facilities. The showers were a luxury and the animals/orange-picking were much loved by the kids!

My friend and I loved tent camping at Fern Valley Ranch! It was really peaceful and we were able to see a lovely starry night sky too. Definitely looking forward to coming back sometime and staying for a few nights more

Fern Valley Ranch really is a cracking spot to camp. Wonder through the orchard down to the stunning waterfall. Well maintained grassy areas with fire pits to set up camp. Clean toilets and hot showers. Great communication with the host Jiji, Ballyn the caretaker was really friendly and helpful too! Cheers!!

We had a great family & friends time experience at Fern Valley Ranch. So close to Sydney, easy to find, lovely staff, friendly animals, juicy oranges on a quiet and stunning environment. Totally recommend!
