Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Wes's Camping Grounds is located on the Canal Creek. We have many different sites to choose from, either right beside the creek, amongst the trees or in the open paddock if you need to charge your solar. Also available camper van & tent hire in bookings. Guests are required to be fully self sufficient with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. There is something for everyone here at Wes's Camping grounds. With several deep water holes on the property that are home to many fish species just waiting to be caught like yellowbelly, jew and carp. Imagine sitting, relaxing beside the creek while the kids are playing football or swimming just up stream. Bring your pushbikes or even a kayak and paddle up and down the creek. The kids will love to explore the property and shallow rock pools or even swim in the deeper water. Or just simply sit back and relax by the fire side and enjoy the serenity. We are close to Leyburn township with a general store and takeaway shop and of course like most little country towns a fabulous little pub providing a home cooked meal and cold refreshing drinks. Pets welcome.

Absolutely loved this camp spot! Super easy to find, with plenty of space to spread out and relax. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and peaceful—exactly what you want when escaping into nature. Will definitely be back!

The grass really needs to be mowed especially this time of year. The cicadas were extremely loud- deafening. Not much you could do about them.

Nice big open space, plenty of afternoon shade, had the whole place to ourselves. So was very peaceful. Our dogs loved swimming the whole weekend in the canal. Host was very friendly.

Decent flat ground to camp on, dogs are friendly but would not leave us alone, only stayed one night and sadly was a night that every part of nature wanted to be noisy and people were hunting across the river but other than that enjoyed the overnight camp and will hopefully be out there again soon

Lovely level quiet spot. Plenty of kangaroos wallabies and birdlife. We never met the host Robert all weekend. Near impossible to kayak or swim due to low water levels and a steep bank. Was still good for fishing. Will visit again.

It was a nice open area far enough away from the road to not cause any noise, open field where kangaroos came in on dusk , and where families can let the kids have fun riding a bike, playing cricket, football or even fly a kite! The camp areas have there own fire pit where a selection of wood was to make a nice fire to sit by and watch all the bird life overlooking the creek! Host came down and introduced himself and was very friendly.

Good but prickly!

Wes's Camping Ground
Site was good. However, shoes required as prickles litter the field. Entry point to water way was blocked by a larger group of campers - perhaps needs to be roped off to avoid poor etiquette of visitors. Otherwise, site was clean, quiet and secluded.

The campground is very serene. It’s lovely & quiet and you can hear the water along the stream. Would absolutely love to return with some kayaks to venture through the creek!! Rob has two beautiful and friendly dogs who paid us a visit also. It was awesome.

The rain sent us packing a day early, but Roberts has a wonderful spot of land right on a beautiful creek where you can pitch up a tent. We were lucky enough to have the whole place to ourselves, which was a delight, but even with a few groups around, you’d be able to claim your own bit of land. The place was very easy to find and Roberts was very quick to respond to messages.
