Farm campsites will vary depending on where sheep are located. Ask on arrival.Glen Hope is a family owned business on 77,000 acres. We run mainly Merino sheep and some cattle. We purchased the property in 2003 and have been improving the property ever since. We have been struggling with the current drought for the past few years and have decided to open up our home for people to stay. The property is located 15kms from White Cliffs which is a tiny community in the outback with great people. It is a little opal town bustling with tourists throughout the year. Our home is secluded with big open spaces for people to relax and enjoy.Dogs are welcome but must be controlled and okay with livestock and please pick up after your pets.Toilet & shower available, separate access near shearers quarters.

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure at Paroo-Darling National Park, where the unregulated Paroo Overflow beckons with its natural beauty. Paddle around Peery Lake, marvel at the abundant birdlife, and immerse yourself in the rich cultural tapestry woven by the Ngiyeempaa and Paakantyi peoples. Set up camp at Coach and Horse campground and cast a line at this renowned fishing retreat.

Notable campgrounds

  • Coach and Horse Campground: Nestled in the Wilga section, this scenic spot offers a perfect blend of fishing, birdwatching, and stargazing opportunities.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early to secure your spot at the popular Coach and Horse Campground, especially during peak birdwatching seasons.
  • Check the park's official website for the latest information on campsite availability and reservation procedures.
  • Consider visiting during off-peak times for a better chance at snagging a reservation and a more tranquil experience.
  • Explore nearby camping options to ensure you have a backup plan in case the park's campgrounds are fully booked.

When to go
