28km from Rocky Glen National Park · 72 sites · Tents, RVs · Coonabarabran, NSW
Barkala Farmstay is a self-sustaining farm located off the grid, supplying our own water and solar electricity. The Farm is a grazing property situated on 13,000 acres surrounded by the tranquil Pilliga Forest. Only access is a 10km dirt road of the Newell Highway, north of Coonabarabran (follow directions below). As well as farm animals, the farm hosts a thriving community of birds and well- designed bush tracks where you can discover local wildlife, plants, Aboriginal artifacts, great lookouts, sandstone cliffs and caves all in the midst of the Pilliga Forrest. Barkala Farmstay is also home to Pilliga Pottery and the Blue Wren Bush Cafe (closed Wednesdays), offering pottery demonstrations and workshops, traditional European inspired fresh foods with ingredients from our organic green house and homemade Gelato. The property offers two camp sites, Goanna and Kellies Campground, which are freely available to anyone who books a camping stay with us. There are no allocated camping spots in either campground, thus it is first come, first serve. We offer large camping spots with no campground boundaries hence there is space for vehicles of any size. Both camping sites offer compost toilets and showers (although we encourage short showers due to our off-grid, self-sustaining farm). You are welcome to stop by the reception upon check-in to hear more about our campgrounds and we can help you find the perfect camp spot and tell you more about what we have to offer. Campers are welcome to enjoy feeding of our farm animals, our saltwater pool and campfires. Firewood can be collected on the property by yourself, or you can visit the reception to buy firewood. There is no phone reception close to any buildings but free limited Wi-Fi in the cafe area.

Bush walk or mountain bike around and experience kangaroos and an emu unfazed by human interaction! Discover Spa Corner, and if you are lucky enough to come across me, ask me how it came to be there.

The view over the farmland's and the sunrise were spectacular. Graham was a very good host. I had trouble with my pullout kitchen and Graham came to the rescue with a drill and screw. The other campers were very nice and the area is large enough to spread out. The composting toilets were very clean and no smell at all. The showers, one inside one outside complete with outdoor bathtub were a plus. Nice hot water with good pressure. You are also able to walk the property and not worry about neighbours. I will definitely be back next time I travel that way. Peter from Batlow

We loved our stay in the beautiful Belle tent on Lisa’s farm. We had everything we needed, the tent has its own (very clean) drop toilet, hot shower and camp kitchen that included a large bbq and even a tucker box fridge that kept our food cool. It was a heat wave when we arrived and Lisa suggested a swim in the dam that was a life saver. Our kelpie Chester loved every minute and especially the friendly morning visit from Lisa’s beautiful kelpie Arthur.

I was contacted by the host prior to arrival to ensure directions and any queries that I had, which I found very good. Directions were precise and easy to follow. With a 8M Motorhome I found the dirt road easily navigable when taken with care. There are two options of campgrounds. I opted to stay in Kellies Campground. The campground was clean and tidy and the showers and toilets also were clean and tidy. Went for a 3hr walk up in the bush, all tracks being better signposted than the council parks I go in. Overall, this campground was a great suprise to find. The host that I dealt with (Bella), was very friendly and helpful and Kellies campground is highly recommended, wether by yourself or with family.

The campsite itself is set against the backdrop of the national park hills – a beautiful and peaceful spot. Each morning we were greeted by three inquisitive wild emus that came right up to say hello. Goats and kangaroos could be seen in the distance, and a short walk took us to a dam and through paddocks filled with wattles in bloom – a stunning sight. What really made the stay special was the generosity of the family. Ally, Celia, Kim, and friends went out of their way to include us and our kids in farm life – feeding cows, collecting eggs, bottle-feeding one-day-old lambs, and even hopping in the buggy for a drive. The kids absolutely loved it and didn’t want to leave. Everyone was so friendly that we felt like part of the community from the very start but we were also left to enjoy the privacy/serenity. It’s a place that’s both relaxing and full of memorable experiences. We can’t recommend it highly enough.
