RV/tent site · Sleeps 15 · Vehicles under 7 m

The Clancy Of The Overflow 4WD accessible site works best for caravans, camper trailers or tent campers with their own shade. Located approximately 100 metres back from the riverbank, this site is flat and out in the open, so it does not feature a huge amount of shade. Great for a larger group who have an awning on their caravan or camper trailer, or are happy to set up their own gazebo to create a shady spot. Great for campers who have small children and don’t want to be right on the bank. Watton Airstrip is a stunning property, nestled on the banks of the Macquarie River. You’ll share our spaces with kangaroos, wallabies, emus, echidnas, deer, platypus and more. Enjoy some optional extras, including Tammie's home made bread, farm fresh, free range eggs, or one of our range of grazing platters, home made jams or hot chocolate kits fresh from our friends at Sophie’s Staples. Or pamper yourself with a Crystal reiki session, or tarot reading.

RV/tent site · Sleeps 15 · Vehicles under 7 m

There are many spots in the various 4WD accessible paddocks around the property to camp to your hearts content. Plenty of room for children to run around in a safe farm environment further away from the river, so choose your spot, under the shade of a tree or out in the open. PLEASE NOTE: Our paddock sites are NOT located on the river bank. These sites are 500 - 700 metres walk from the river but this doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to swim. All guests are able to access the river, we simply ask that you don’t encroach on other guests campsites whilst doing so. Paddock sites are great for those with small children who don’t want to be too close to the river, or for larger, noisier groups who’d like to be isolated from other guests.

Cabin · Sleeps 6 · 1 bedroom · 5 beds

If you’re not into actual camping in tent or trailer form, come spend some time in our insulated rustic cabin that has been lovingly built by Damo. Featuring an open floor plan with a queen bed, a bunk bed and two singles, this space can accomodate up to 6 people. Sheets are provided but guests will need to provide their own blankets and pillows. Heating and cooking are facilitated by a cast iron wood fire, featuring two hot plates and an oven space and there is a cold water sink for drinking water and dishes. Some wood will be provided for your stay. Once this is gone, you may purchase extra. A small fridge will facilitate some food and drink storage but you may need to bring a portable fridge/esky as well. A gas powered shower can be hired if required. A new long drop is under construction closer to the cabin but for the moment, feel free to use the communal long drop near the camp kitchen. A rechargeable lantern is supplied for you to take with you. The cabin is solar powered, with usb points for phone charging, but no other power points. There is also an outdoor fire pit, and outdoor setting if you’d prefer to cook outside, or simply sit around it enjoying the ambience of being in nature. Wood for the fire pit will need to be brought in, or feel free to collect fallen wood from around the property. Please DO NOT cut down or deface any standing trees. A fantastic location for a girls or boys weekend, somewhere for the elders or non camping family members to stay, or for a weekend away with the family camping without actual camping!

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
Watton Airstrip is a serene escape for those looking to enjoy nature, with spacious and well-maintained campsites by the river. The hosts, Tammy and Damien, are praised for their hospitality and helpfulness, enhancing the overall experience. While the location is ideal for 4WD enthusiasts, some campers found the terrain challenging and noted the lack of amenities like toilets. Despite these challenges, the natural beauty and tranquility make it a favored spot for many visitors.
