Windy Oaks Farm

2 sites · RVs, Tents30 acres · O'connell, NSW
Windy Oaks Farm is a small 30 acre property with about 700 metres frontage on the Fish River. We grow saffron and garlic and other veggies, have a small orchard and plenty of eggs daily from our lovely chooks. Trout and fly anglers love our stretch of the river, as do bird watchers, nature lovers of any kind and anyone who simply loves the bush and being close to the water for a refreshing dip. BBQs down at the river are loads of fun, as are campfires when permitted. We have kangaroos in abundance, wombats and platypus. Windy Oaks is just 1.8 kms from the O'Connell Hotel if you're in the mood for a good old country pub feed. And right opposite the pub, coffee, cake and other delicious brekky and lunch treats are to found at Get Roasted - O'Connell's newly reopened cafe. Bathurst and Oberon are both 20kms either side of O'Connell with the world famous Mayfield Garden just 15 minutes drive away. Or, just relax and soak up the peace and quite of the Aussie bush right on the river. We live in one of the very few regions in Australia that boasts the perfect climate, conditions and soil for growing saffron - the most expensive spice in the world! Saffron harvest time is around the end of April for just a few weeks. This is a great time to see these spectacular flowers called crocus, come into bloom, where they are then handpicked for their valued bright red stigma. They are then dried, providing these most exquisite and highly sought after saffron threads. Just 20 minutes from Bathurst, Windy Oaks is a great option for motor racing enthusiasts who prefer not to stay at the large, crowded campsites around town. There is a very popular campground only 3 minutes from Windy Oaks that is always occupied and packed elbow to elbow during holidays and race weeks. Why not secure your very own exclusive patch on the river which would make for a great escape to relax after a noisey, busy and exciting day at Mount Panorama. There are several options along the river on which to camp. Photos 33-42 are showing some of those possible sites. But remember - you will have the place to yourself!

The best camping near Carcoar Dam guide

Overview

About

Nestled in the rolling hills of the Central Tablelands of New South Wales, Carcoar Dam is a popular spot for fishing, swimming, and camping. With its crystal clear waters and lush green surroundings, this engineering marvel is a great place to relax and take in the beauty of nature. The dam is stocked with a variety of fish species, including bass, golden perch, silver perch, and catfish. There are also plenty of picnic spots and walking tracks around the area for visitors to explore.

When to go

The best time to visit Carcoar Dam is during the warmer months when the full range of water activities can be enjoyed. However, it's wise to avoid the dam during periods of heavy rainfall or drought, as these can affect water levels and the quality of the recreational experience.

Know before you go

  • Check the latest water storage levels and safety information at the WaterNSW website before planning your trip.
  • Be mindful of the weather conditions, as they can greatly impact water sports and fishing activities.
  • Ensure you have a valid fishing licence and are aware of any fishing regulations in place.
  • Carcoar Dam is a popular spot, so arrive early to secure the best spot for your day out.
  • Remember to bring sun protection and stay hydrated, especially during the hot Australian summer.
