Amazing views
Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
Nomadic camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Michael is a Star Host
Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.
On the hills of Peronne we graze Merino sheep amongst native bushland, open grasslands and along flowing creeks. We have some spectacular waterfalls and stunning views across the central tablelands. Areas set aside for bush regeneration provide habitat for native animals including wallabies, wombats, gang-gang cockatoos and wedge tail eagles. You might be lucky enough to spot a koala too. We have walking/mountain bike trails, creeks for paddling in and beautiful scenery.Camp beside the picturesque Cheshire Creek or tuck in near the shelter of a rocky outcrop. You’ll be the only guests on the farm, so the creek, bushwalks, and starry skies are yours alone to enjoy. Spend your days paddling in the pristine creek, spotting local wildlife, and soaking in the native bush. As night falls, gather around the campfire and marvel at the stunning night sky. Feeling adventurous? Try your luck panning for gold with the provided pans, or cast a line and see what bites. Or you may like to embark on a 3km bushwalk across open paddocks and into native bushland to discover a spectacular ephemeral waterfall; an enchanting sight that flows only after rain, making each visit unique. For those craving more, add a 2km loop to reach a mountain-top lookout with sweeping views across the Central Tablelands, including iconic landmarks like Mt Panorama/Wahluu and Mt Canobolas/Gaanha Bula. It’s the perfect spot for sunrise, sunset, or simply soaking in the serenity. The site accommodates tents and small camper trailers. Please note: access is tight and AWD is essential if towing. AWD is also recommended during or after wet weather, as the track includes slippery and inclined sections. We love our pristine creek—please help us keep it that way. Bring your own loo, or if you don’t have one, be sure to add a hire loo in the Extras section. We provide a small amount of fire wood. Please purchase additional lots in the Extras section, or feel free to bring your own wood. Please don't collect firewood from our property.

Fantastic spot. Easy to get to with close proximity to Bathurst but still has an isolated feel. Host was very friendly. You wont be disappointed with a stay here.

My wife and I had an enjoyable stay at Cheshire Creek Camp. We loved the privacy, quietness, and views. The included firewood for the week is a bonus. It was definitely worth the walk to the lookout for the valley views. It is a private site, and Michael was very obliging.

Private camping by the creek
Tent · With kids ·
Cheshire Creek camp site
We spent 3 nights at this private campsite and it was lovely and secluded. It would’ve been even more perfect if the creek was running and there was water in the waterfall but that can’t be helped. Also worth noting is there is a strong wind that comes through in the afternoon in the summertime. Managed to catch some yabbies and truly relax. Was a lovely stay

One of the best Hipcamp locations we have stayed at, amazing views and so peaceful, located right on the creek with plenty of shade, nice flat grassed area with benches and a fire pit which was ready to go when we arrived, there is also a wood box up on the hill , a personal location beacon is supplied in case you need it out on the beautiful walks The Host was great and is up for a chat with some history lessons on the area, we will definitely be back

Beautiful and quiet property where you have your own privacy. Easy to setup camp near the creek and have a fire. Michael was also a very hospitable host kindly checking on us with some fresh greens and eggs as the weather became rainy and windy at some point. Perfect for a rooftop tent.

Cheshire Creek camp site
Absolutely loved our stay! The place was beautiful and private which we loved as it was just us girls for this trip. Michael came and said hello and made sure we had everything we needed. We went for a walk to the waterfall unfortunately it was dry with no water at this time of year (October) but was still a beautiful trek. On the last day we had a flat tire, Michael and his son was so helpful with helping us fix it so we were safe for the long drive home. Plenty of fire wood was available which was also a bonus. The creek is lovely, had a little swim and the view from a little up the hill was even more stunning!! Thank you for having us we can’t wait to come again.

We had such a great stay at Cheshire Creek, right by the crystal clear creek! Michael was an incredibly friendly and welcoming host who went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. He had a huge amount of firewood cut up and ready for us, along with safety equipment in place, such a thoughtful and organised touch. The property itself was beautiful, peaceful, spacious, and well maintained, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the scenery. We couldn’t have asked for a better host or spot to unwind. We will definitely be back again! Thank you, Michael 🤩🤩🤩🤩

My daughter and I loved camping in Michael’s farm in Peronne. The spot was absolutely beautiful and we didn’t see or hear another person (other than a nice courtesy drop-in from Michael to welcome us). When we arrived the fire pit was already prepared as well as a healthy pile of firewood to get us through the night. I’d go back for a visit anytime 😊

Michael was a great host, not only supplied firewood, walking maps and an emergency beacon - but he was also very patient as I got lost trying to find the campsite on the property (my fault for not reading the instructions properly). Great spot by the water and sensational stargazing. Would highly recommend this Hipcamp

What a beautiful Hipcamp. Very peaceful by a little creek. Beautiful views from the campsite and even better on the walks. Michael supplies firewood which is a bonus. Nothing beats sitting around the campfire and admiring the stars. Great Hipcamp and would definitely be back. Michael is a great host! Thanks for having us!

Perfect camping spot. Flat ground on the creek with total privacy being only 1 site. Real camping with no amenities but that’s what we love. Michael is a great bloke and host. Supplied firewood was great. Took 2 large carp from the creek and will be back for some of the rainbow trout fingerlings we saw. Didn’t quite make my retirement with the gold panning - maybe next time. Hopefully see some good rain very soon - desperately needed. We’ll be back.

We had a great time camping here. The directions were clear and the space is very roomy, with the added bonus of having the entire place to ourselves. The creek was great for our young children to explore and cool off on a hot day. Michael is a great host and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.

Excellent private grassy campsite. Open to the sky for lots of sun in winter, lots of shallow creek to cool in during summer. Clean and clear site and water, and excellent directions and communication from the owners. There are lots of walks to do around the property, and the historic towns of Sofala and Hill End nearby. A top campsite! 4wd essential and smaller camp setup suitable. (Not for large vans).
