We are Marilyn and Peter, we own, live and run a mixed farming business from this beautiful land, located in the Central Tablelands NSW.
The country varies between undulating and steep land and has 7 km of double frontage Bell River running through it.
The river can range from rapidly flowing to the more usual steady flowing and is most often very clear. The river has numerous swimming spots, some with a rocky base, and some with sand. The winding river and the varying countryside is incredibly peaceful and beautiful and is a perfect retreat for those looking to disconnect and relax.
The river has its origin near Orange and is also fed into by many springs. Weandre Creek runs in the backcountry and winds into the Bell River.
Our comfortable Hut is situated on an elevated spot looking down on the river with a graduated road leading down. It has everything you need for a relaxing, recharging stay in nature.
The Hut can accommodate up to 4 people, however, you also have the option for up to 6 additional guests to set up swags, tents, or a camper trailer nearby. There is space next to the Hut, or for those with a 4WD, there are some lovely camping sites down by the river.
We also offer sites for those looking for a self-contained camping site, in a beautiful location.
We love the solitude, the endless bush walks, swimming, and being immersed in nature. We are confident you will too.
We also have a lovely art gallery on the property, and for a small fee and prior arrangement, you are welcome to come and take a look.
From our farm, it is 60 km to Orange with all its wineries, food festivals, and many attractions. Wellington is 40 km and boasts the Wellington Caves. Dubbo is 90 km and is a big inland city and boasts the Western Plains Zoo.
We are so glad to let you know we have a new (but intentionally rustic) structure which houses a shower powered by gas and solar with gravity fed water.
Showers need to be short because water supply is limited.
In a separate space is a gas BBQ and sink.
This is pictured in our latest photos.
This building also looks down on the Bell river which looks sensational at the moment due to all the rain.

Our stay was amazing and one of the best experiences our group has shared. Hosts Brian and Vicky were warm, welcoming, from arrival to departure. The space was set up with care and looked beautiful. Meeting Lucy, the pet deer, added a special touch and brought plenty of smiles. This place suits a peaceful getaway from city life, with nature all around and a clear night sky offering a truly magical view.

I had the most incredible stay! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded expectations. The view alone was worth the trip – the kind that makes you stop in your tracks and just breathe it all in. Sunrise, sunset, even the quiet moments in between… every angle felt like a postcard.
Our host was absolutely outstanding. Warm, thoughtful, and genuinely passionate about making our stay perfect. Every little detail was considered, and their recommendations made the experience even better.
And the activities were unforgettable. Whether we were exploring, relaxing, or trying something new, there was always something exciting to do. It felt like the perfect balance of adventure and ease.
I couldn’t recommend this place more highly. If you’re looking for a stay that feels special, memorable, and beautifully hosted – this is the one. I’m already dreaming of returning!

My family and I cannot recommend The Stockyard Experience enough!
The property is situated in an amazing area in Mumbil, yet still conveniently located a short distance from Wellington. The camp is well equipped—tents are spacious, the beds comfortable, the amenities clean and well maintained. As other reviewers have mentioned, Vicky and Brian are amazing host; who were prompt and open in their commutation from start to finish of our booking. Not only were they hospitable and warm, but they also incorporated small touches around the camp to make our stay even more welcoming.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time and definitely look forward to coming back the next opportunity we get to unplug and unwind.
Many thanks again Vicky and Brian!
In short: Perfect spot for a family’s first camp!

We had the most wonderful experience staying in the London double decker bus, made even more special by the kindness of our host Glen. Not only was the location beautiful and the site incredibly cozy, but Glen also went above and beyond when they found out it was my birthday—upgrading us to a stunning London double decker bus that made the trip unforgettable.
The attention to detail, warm hospitality, and serene surroundings made this a perfect getaway. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and will definitely be returning. Thank you Glen for making my birthday so memorable!
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious outdoor experience.
