Rough As Guts Bush Camping

Drake, New South Wales
420 acres hosted by Timothy B.
1 tent site
Primitive camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
This is rough country and suits experienced campers. The price books the whole property for the weekend with up to 9 friends (if your group is larger send me a message to discuss). Strictly 4WD & off road camper trailer only. No 2WD, SUV or caravan access. The two adjoining properties consist of over 420 acres of bushland with 23 dams mostly spring fed. There is also a creek running through the property with a Black Boy forrest and mountain caves. The property starts in the mountains and moves down to the flats. It has plenty of native wildlife including wedgetail eagles, parrots, finches, kangaroos, wallabies, goanna, very large scrub pythons, foxes, dingoes, quolls, bats the list goes on and on.... There are plenty of camping areas depending on what you like. I supply nothing but a map and if you book the property you will be the only people on it. You will need food and water. You can also boil the creek water which is crystal clear. I recommend a camping toilet. I recommend a winch or recovery kit too. Bring your chainsaw as there is plenty of firewood available. Cheers.This is rough country and suits experienced campers. The price books the whole property for the weekend with up to 9 friends (if your group is larger send me a message to discuss).

It's a bit of a drive but the big lake is worth it. It's spring fed and full of cray fish and small fish... try and catch some if you can. This is very very isolated so enjoy. If you group exceeds 10 people please talk to me first and we'll sort something out. Check in times are not strict - you can come early and leave late.
