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.
Off-leash friendly
Pets can be off-leash at this Hipcamp.
4WD only - Rocklee is on Wiradjuri land, a short drive from Capertee, surrounded by Gardens of Stone and Capertee national parks and the Mugii Murrum-ban State Conservation Area. Rocklee is 2.5 hours from Sydney and Dubbo. Access is 4wd only. (We’re serious!) Our road has ‘roll overs’ so you need a vehicle with clearance. If you are towing a camper trailer or caravan, you need a good 4wd engine to get back up the hill confidently. Each campsite is a long way from other sites - usually about 800m. Rocklee has a mix of no-longer used paddocks and about 800 acres of untouched bush. You will arrive through the conservation area, which has beautiful pagodas and endless bushwalks. Hipcampers can choose from plenty of space where they'd like to set up camp. Please be careful as some paddocks are overgrown, fences have come down and there are lots of wombat holes, so drive slowly and be careful. There are no amenities here, campers need to be self contained and leave no trace. This means you need to bring water, use exisiting fireplaces and take your rubbish, recycling and compost with you. (You need to bring water from home or elsewhere on the way. Please note you cannot fill up free tap water at Capertee - either at the BP, the picnic area or the pub. It just doesn’t rain enough to fill up the tanks.)

7 - EOI Only - Party Paddock

100%
(4)
Tent site · Sleeps 100
This site as a ‘party paddock’ is available on request (so we can block out other bookings so you have the place to yourself). The price is per person. You can bring a generator, water, music etc. This spot has great views of Genowlan Point, to watch the sunrise over. It's a large open paddock, great for lots of friends. It has good afternoon shade and a lot of flat grassed area. It just east of our creek bed (which unfortunately only gets water after rain). It is by a falling-apart shearing shed - so please dont enter that. It is just by an old half-built home made from river-bed rock which is interesting to see.

100%

RV/tent site · Sleeps 25 · Vehicles under 6 m
Fern camp is at the base of Genowlan Mountain. It’s a good site for bushwalking and exploring. The flat site has 4 sections mowed, so it’s good for groups who want a bit of room between each other’s tents. It’s by Genowlan Creek, which usually has a little bit of water in it. (Up to your ankles.) You’re likely to hear koalas here (but we never see them). This site has good shade across the day.

This site is part of a paddock, but nestled by large trees, bush and a creek bed. To get to it, you cross a sandy creek bed. It has views of Point Hatteras.

5 - Genowlan Point View

100%
(5)
RV/tent site · Sleeps 25 · Vehicles under 6 m
This is a flat paddock site, next to bush. You can see the point of Mount Genowlan from here. (It’s famous for hosting an extremely endangered pea plant that only grows on the point of the mountain.) This is a good site if you want to go on self-guided bushwalks from here, as there is lots to explore, climb, and find. It is ‘tucked away’ but is also near to a track that is occasionally (Eg once every few days) used between neighbouring properties. This means you may see a car or motorbike, but it’s pretty unlikely. The campsite and track are well separated by an ephemeral creek. A pair of wedgetail eagles regularly drink from, so please don’t wash up in the creek water. We are working to control blackberry by this creek through mulching rather than herbicide, so seasonally you may see blackberry here.

3 - Tree with a view

Booked 1 time
RV/tent site · Sleeps 20 · Vehicles under 4 m
This site crosses two paddocks, couched by a huge gum tree. You’ll have an escarpment-wide view of Genowlan Mountain for sunrise, and afternoon shade with the sun behind you to watch the cliffs change colour at dusk. It’s also home to a huge wombat (so just be careful of burrows if you go for a walk). We’re still taking out blackberry and fencing near this site.

4 - Fern Camp - Genowlan Base
My stay at Rocklee was quiet apart from the sounds of nature and open space as far as I could see - it was exactly what I needed for a mini-recharge. I ended up staying at site 2 and found the kitchen shelter very handy. The drive into the property was challenging but manageable if you're careful, have no distractions and remember to breathe. Emma was a fantastic host, very pro-active in providing information and communicating with me to meet my needs. It far exceeded anything I have experienced on Hipcamp.

Great spot site no 2 looking up to the escarpment. Massive sites. Able to have fires and collect wood on the property. Have to be fully self contained including water. We took our 18.6 ATV van in and there were a few tight spots to negotiate and quite difficult getting back out on the NP road as we bottomed out in places.

Nice and quiet spot at #3. A pity about the weather over the weekend but would love to stay longer and explore a bit more. Fire trail in was a surprise and somewhat steeper than anticipated but no issues heading back up nice and slow.

Tent · With pets ·
4 - Fern Camp - Genowlan Base
Stayed at the Fern Camp, which was fantastically secluded with level ground and a good mix of sun and shade. A great spot to escape the more popular and busy grounds of Coorongooba and its surrounds. Emma gave great directions to their property, and the drive down Airly Gap is almost worth the trip in itself. Once in the valley, you're completely off grid with only the occasional water tank or rusty relic hinting at habitation. Explored an old fire trail out under Genowlan and sat under a clear night sky with a fire, and my German Shepherd had an absolute ball roaming around. Airly has tons of historic sites to visit, from Aboriginal artwork to abandoned coal and diamond mining infrastructure. Don't forget to visit the Capertee pub on your way in or out!!

This was fantastic. We stayed at site 3 and it was well established and felt very private. We loved having some hay bails to sit around the fire, and the view up to mount Genowlan was spectacular in the evening and morning. Couldn’t recommend this place enough.

4 - Fern Camp - Genowlan Base
We had a fantastic and peaceful stay at camp site 4 at Rocklee! The area was flat with well maintained patches of ground to allow for multiple tents/vehicles to be in the area but with good space between them. As other reviews have mentioned, the track into the property is suited for 4wd vehicles with off camber corners and loose stones/rocks to add to the excitement and experience! On our last night it rained heavily and we had no problem pulling a heavy camper trailer up the hill on the wet track (recommend airing down your tyres though!). Overall fantastic time and would recommend this location to anyone who wants to enjoy the tranquillity of the Australian bush. Communication with Emma was easy and any questions answered quickly. Thanks for sharing your piece of paradise and look forward to a return visit.

4 - Fern Camp - Genowlan Base
Thank you Emma and Monty for opening up your beautiful property for us to share and enjoy! We had a small group of families together and we were all blown away by how well presented your property is. The camp site was very private and spacious, and the view of Genowlan is next level. (The pictures really don't do it justice!). There is a short section of track down that is very steep and has large humps for drainage so I would definitely recommend 4x4 preferably with a lift. We made it in and back out with a small off road hybrid van with no issues as it was dry but could be challenging in the wet. Seriously can't wait to visit again and I couldn't recommend Emma's property high enough!

Very happy. Great privacy, tranquil, shade, tracks for long walks and a little water for the dog to cool off. The track into the property is pretty steep and so best not to arrive after dark and definitely 4wd to come back out if pulling a camper trailer. One of the best places I have camped.

Rocklee camp is a little slice of heaven away from home. Access to the campsite can be a little tricky as the road is a little bumpy and rocky, but was a breeze with a 4WD. My partner and I stayed at Genowlan view over New Year’s Eve - we found two fire pits at this site, and if you camp around the first fire pit, you can see a 180° view of the cliffs and mountains. There is also a little shelter nearby equip with a long table, a little barbecue and some chairs with a fabulous view of the mountains. We had forgotten our camping tables (rookie mistake), so this was perfect to enjoy our meals and soak in the view. Emma was excellent with communicating, and updated us every step of the way. Overall, Rocklee was a stunning location and would 100% recommend this campsite. We’ll be back again!
