Lovely quiet property, plenty of flat area for camping with friendly hosts. Only a short drive from Warrumbungle and Timmallallie National Parks, and within the Dark Sky zone, so the night sky on a clear day is stunning. Will definitely stay at again.

We had such a wonderful stay at Gawamaraay Views. From the moment we arrived, Celia welcomed us warmly and showed us onto the property. The campsite itself is set against the backdrop of the national park hills – a beautiful and peaceful spot. Each morning we were greeted by three inquisitive wild emus that came right up to say hello. Goats and kangaroos could be seen in the distance, and a short walk took us to a dam and through paddocks filled with wattles in bloom – a stunning sight. What really made the stay special was the generosity of the family. Ally, Celia, Kim, and friends went out of their way to include us and our kids in farm life – feeding cows, collecting eggs, bottle-feeding one-day-old lambs, and even hopping in the buggy for a drive. The kids absolutely loved it and didn’t want to leave. Everyone was so friendly that we felt like part of the community from the very start but we were also left to enjoy the privacy/serenity. It’s a place that’s both relaxing and full of memorable experiences. We can’t recommend it highly enough.

This was our second Hipcamp experience, Ally and her parents Dave and Kim made us feel very welcome. We were met and directed to where we would be camping, the views are beautiful and you feel very isolated which is the experience we wanted! Our daughter loved watching the sheep and lambs in the paddock, very happy with our stay!

Very nice secluded spot, great views from the property of the Warrumbungles and nice a close for a trip to the national park. Ally was a great host

My Dad and I stayed at Ally's place for a weekend to do some star gazing. It was absolutely amazing. The spot Ally had for us was private, secluded and good for pitching the tents and we were free to choose if we wanted to be elsewhere on the property. Great view of the sky for stars and sunrise/sunset. Ally was very hospitable and gave great recommendations for things to do around the area, in particular a local bushwalk to a nice lookout over the region. Overall 10/10 experience would recommend to anyone looking to see the stars/camp in the area.

Beautiful spot not far from the Warrumbungles. Views were amazing and the stars at night were even better. Ally made us feel so welcome and nothing was too much for her. Thanks for having us Ally.
