With private access to the river, you can unwind in serene surroundings, enjoying the quiet beauty of nature. Breelong Valley welcomes you to a peaceful getaway where the vast landscapes and the soothing river create an unforgettable experience.
We are close enough to town so convenient for supplies, but far enough away for peace and quiet.
We have plenty of horses for the kids to come and spend time with, along with baby lambs, goats, and chickens.
Breelong Valley also offers a farm-to-plate experience with our beautiful fresh produce and succulent lamb for sale so you can stock up on some of your essentials, and enjoy a fantastic campfire dinner.
Pets are welcome, and campfires are permitted when conditions allow, and no local fire restrictions are in place.
Please note: This is a large working farm, and the campground is set away from the homestead and main animal areas. We do this to give guests privacy and a quiet space to unwind, but it does mean the house, animals, and farm shop are not in immediate walking distance

We loved the view and the privacy we felt not only were the hosts perfect but the location. We would visit again, Dave and Ally were great hosts, down to earth and ready to share time with you, which makes you feel special, loved the tracks and the 3 gates we went through to get to the camping spot, mainly flat large open space and very peaceful. When you stay here you feel part of the family.

Loved staying off-grid at this quiet, secluded campsite. It was incredibly peaceful and the perfect place to slow down, reset, and enjoy nature without distractions. Waking up to nothing but birds and fresh air was exactly what we needed. If you are looking for a private, relaxing escape, this kind of spot is hard to beat.

Large, beautiful, serene, safe place to camp. Easy to find, with well signed directions. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. Gold coin donation to use the quaint hot shower, and free if you’re happy with just cold water. There’s now a toilet installed too.
Loved my overnight stay here, and will definitely stop again on future road trips.

Sally was very helpful and quick to respond to our last minute request, and on arrival Peter came over and went out of his way to make sure that we had everything we needed on a cool and rainy evening. The shelter and other facilities were very useful, with the campsite tucked away from the Newell Highway. There is a bit of road noise still, but it proved to be an excellent option for our overnight stop.
