## Overview

Located in the beautiful Wiarborough Valley, just north of Taralga, escape to the peace and quiet of the country, but with the convenience of great coffee and restaurants only minutes away. Forestvale Farm sits on the border of Gundungurra and Wiradjuri Country surrounded by the Blue Mountains National Park, Mares Forest National Park and the stunning Wombeyan Caves. 

We look forward to meeting you on arrival and showing you to your campsite depending on your vehicle and camp setup, weather and location of stock. A limited number of sites are 2WD/AWD accessible via gravel or dirt road, but most sites require a capable 4WD particularly if you are towing a camper. All sites have lovely views. 

Campers are required to be self sufficient as there are no toilet or shower facilities, and must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. 

Forestvale Farm is a working farm and the home of the Equine Experience (see Extras). You are welcome to view whatever activities are happening during your visit, or head out beyond the farm gate to visit the Taralga Zoo, stock up on fresh organic produce grown by our neighbours, dine on hearty pub dinners in town, or fish for trout on the Abercrombie River just up the road. Wombeyan Caves, just 20 minutes drive away, is worth the visit. Take your swimmers in summer.

Fill your days swimming in the creek, exploring the property on foot, or mountain-bike, set up yabbie traps in the dams, or sit back and relax listening to the abundant birdlife that calls Forestvale home and keep your binoculars and camera handy for the visiting wildlife including wombats, echidnas and kangaroos.

Campfires are permitted, subject to prevailing bushfire risk conditions. They must be kept contained and at a reasonable size. We encourage you to bring some firewood, or you can purchase a pile of wood to be ready on your arrival (see Extras).

Pets are welcome but must be kept restrained at all times to protect stock and wildlife.

Please note mobile reception is limited in the Wiarborough Valley. What a great opportunity to switch off and enjoy your holiday.

Our farm is also conveniently located on the Bicentennial National Trail so can cater to travellers on foot, bike or horseback.

No hunting or generators allowed.

## Recent reviews

> Beautiful property, easy to access and welcoming hosts. Nadine took me around to a few places on the property where I could camp in my 2 wheel drive van so I had a few sites to choose from. The site I chose was peaceful and private and there was the delightful chatter of birds most of the day due to surrounding trees. Nadine hands out a map of the property with detailed driving/walking tracks and I enjoyed some walks to parts of the property I couldn’t access in my van. Definitely worth a return visit to do some more exploring. Highly recommended 🙏🏻

> Nothing was ever a problem. Nadine was a fabulous host, keeping us appraised of the weather on our arrival day and then determined a suitable site based on our set up when we arrived and what a site it was! Nadine made us feel right at home and really shared her property and love of it with us. Forestville is private and quiet as promised. The views and countryside were breathtaking with amazing sunrises and sunsets thrown in! The stress of life disappeared. Highly recommend Forestville to anyone wanting a relaxing break from reality.

> We had such a lovely weekend at Forestvale Camp. For such a short trip from Sydney, you could not feel further away. It is such a peaceful place with absolutely incredible views. The trip to Wombeyan Caves is just a hop, skip and a jump away and the local town of Taralga is definitely worth a visit. Our own recommendation would be to make sure you stay long enough to enjoy what this property has to offer. A big thanks to Andrew and Nadine who were absolutely brilliant hosts. We will definitely be back.
