Maiden Jewel Camping
We really enjoyed this very peaceful and scenic location and the fact that there was so much open space gave us all lots of privacy. It was conveniently located close to Scone but still very much 'in the country' with good road access with our caravans. We loved being able to have a fire and enjoyed the variety of birds and wildlife that were wandering around. We will definitely stay here again. Thanks

If you want to do nothing, it would be a great place for you. Its a good place for someone who wants to sit and enjoy their beers
The rule is the rule, but sometimes they still complain about noise before 10 p.m.!!!
Apart from this nature is awesome

The beauty of Maiden Jewel is unmatched. You get the choice of spectacular views no matter which direction you set up camp. The drive in really sets the tone.
Jane is a wonderful and hands on host, very accommodating and offers a super fun buggy ride around her humongous property, which is full of fun and information on the history of the land, plants and animals, especially great for the kids!
There are animals roaming, yet the grounds are clean! Woke up with very healthy looking cows mooing us a good morning, which was super cool.
This is a peaceful, beautiful part of the world and is NOT for people looking to party, do everyone a favour and pick somewhere else if that’s what you’re after.
If you want to wake up in heaven, spend the night at maiden jewel, we have already planned our next two trips back.
Thank you Jane for a wonderful experience, thank you for sharing your home !

The Waterhole
Overall great experience, lovely hosts. The scenes were great, lots of bush trails to follow. We saw deer, kangaroos, plenty of birdlife.
Although other campers may or may not ruin your experience. Even though their rules and she messages to stop noise at 10pm some campers near us were still going till 12am.
The dams were not as clean as I imagined, very muddy, murky. Came out dirtier than went in. If we had a portable shower I suppose wouldn’t be so bad but not when you’re sleeping in a tent.

A great place to relax and get away with my two sons. We managed to get a secluded site with great views of the mountain range in the background. Jane was a fantastic host. A great option.

Jane was very accommodating meeting us at the gate for a brief tour around the property to help us pick the perfect sight for us. We had plenty of space between us and other campers. Loads of mowed areas and traks to camp at or walk around. Beautiful views of mountains multiple dams for fishing or swimming. Bonuses fire wood delivered to sight for a small fee and porter potties scattered around the property. Thankyou for letting us enjoy your beautiful property Jane.

The owners were very welcoming. They showed me to my spot and 10 minutes later they dropped off wood for my fire.
The property had slashed trails all over.
I spent 3 nights at the bluff which was incredible spot, quiet with a beautiful look out over the mountains.

Loved staying at Maiden Jewel, we stayed at one of the private sites away from the main camping area near the dam as we were self contained. Glad we did as the main area was busy. Beautiful panoramic views from our site, hosts were friendly and welcoming.

Maiden Jewel Camping
Mal was a great host and took us to a secluded camp site with amazing views of the cliffs and a massive wild olive tree. It felt like you were all by yourself and a million miles away from everything. Mal advised the water in the dams was low but we didn't mind as we were out exploring each day. The campsites are huge and the cows are friendly, we took a little dog who didn't like the cows when they walked through the campsite but the cows were unfazed by her and moved through quickly. I would stay here again when I'm up that way.

Absolutely awesome, will recommend this to all of my equine friends. Jane was the perfect host, cook and trail boss. Her hospitality was brilliant and her property is an absolute gem. It features beautiful dams deep enough to swim horses and picturesque views. Set at the foot of the Wingen Maid mountain is nothing short of exquisite. The rocks and caves in the wall of the mountain changes its look every hour of the day as the sun sweeps over.

Flexibility to ride when, where and with who you wanted, including swimming your horse in the dam and use of the round yard. Dogs and non riders allowed. Spectacular property and wonderful host.

What an amazing place to stay! The views are phenomenal and the hospitality is excellent. Jane and Malcolm were very accomodating in making sure our stay was perfect and even making sure we didn’t get lost on the 4x4 tracks! Will definitely be coming back in the future. Just wow!

We stayed in our camper van at Maiden Jewel for 1 night. Jane was so welcoming and showed us the most perfect spot to camp on top of a hill. The views were spectacular and we were joined by a herd of cows for breakfast 😍. We can't wait to stay there again

Brilliant weekend away with horses and friends. Miles of varied tracks, through bush and open pasture. Among my favourites were some grass covered "hooning " opportunities.
Non riders enjoyed yabby catching, fishing, riding push bikes and keeping the camp fire attended.
Lots of lovely camp sites around this huge property. Perfect for families and large groups. Plenty of options for having your own space.
Helpful and friendly hosts.
Great yards for horses.
Can't wait to go back.
