From this beautiful property near Bathurst, enjoy spectacular elevated views, and a classic Aussie bush setting. There are four cleared and level campsites, each private from one another, with enough for up to 10 people. From near camp, you're spoilt with amazing views overlooking Bathhurst, towards Mt Horrible and Mt Panorama. You'll share the space with kangaroos, emus, echidnas and more. At night, you'll discover why Billywillinga is home to the Bathurst Observatory, the skies here are often brilliant with stars. Each campsite has its own fire bucket and hot plate (for when restrictions aren't in place). A pit toilet is around 100 metres, an easy walk away from each site, where you'll also find running water for the shower, sink and washing machine. Macquarie River is less than 10 minutes drive away and has great fishing. Ophir Goldfields is around half-hour and is a popular tourist spot, where you can check out the mines and do tours. Root Hog Crossing and the Bridle Track to Hill End provides opportunities for 4WDing and plenty of bushwalking. Pets welcome but please keep them controlled, in respect of wildlife and other campers. No motorbikes.

Camping with animals.

This place was amazing! Beautiful location, secluded and the host was amazing! I can’t speak for the facilities as we took our own toilet, shower and water. Highly recommend this spot. We will be back again. Thanks Ben for having us. We had a fantastic long weekend away.

It annoys me that some people take advantage of generous people who allow us on their places. One camp had beer cans and rubbish left there, the other was littered with toilet paper. What a shame as it was a great spot

Instructions to get there were a bit vague but once you find the campsite, you'll realize that you have a huge campsite and the next campsite is so far away that you won't see or hear them! It was a great time and the night sky is spectacular! To be noted that the drop toilet is only close to the first campsite and there was no water in the shower (but that wasn't a problem) Would highly recommend billywood and will definitely come back!

Booked and paid for the Easter weekend, unfortunately we were the third booking to arrive. The two sites where the other campers were looked OK. The very slopey knee height grass area we were offered was very close to another group and totally unsuitable to camp on in our 16ft single axle semi offroad van. Ended up not staying as it was that bad and did not match the description given. Be careful booking here!!!

We stopped for one night on the way to Broken Hill, enjoyed the trees, plenty of space, very secluded, although so close to Bathurst
