Located on 250 acres, Empty Pockets farm is a cattle and crop farm on mixed country from rolling hills to tree lined creek banks. Privacy is guaranteed with a number of spacious sites available along two seasonal creeks and one site overlooking rolling hills and distant mountains. As a working cattle farm there are often inquisitive calves around. There are tracks right around the property for walking and exploring. You may see some of the local wildlife which include Rat Kangaroos and possums (both nocturnal), tree goanna, wallabies, echidna and many bird species. Located only 30 minutes from the beautiful Bunya Mountains and Coomba Falls. Motocross Mountain is 8km away and we are 5km from the Yarraman Rail Trail which is popular for mountain bike riding. Plenty of options for exploring or just stay, relax and unwind. We are pet friendly however we ask that dogs are kept on a leash. Season produce from the farm may be available for purchase depending on the season. Firewood is free from designated locations. We request that guests leave a zero footprint which means you need be self sufficient with your own toilet/shower facilities and all waste and rubbish is taken with you on departure.

Oakford's Place
Very Peaceful and Relaxing Spot
We had a fantastic relaxing time at Empty Pockets Oakford's Place on the weekend. Laura and Neil were awesome hosts, and it was cool to have Annabelle come down on her bike to give us some complimentary stubby coolers. We really appreciated that :) The Oakford's Place is a beautiful little flat campsite carved out of the bush with plenty of space, a shelter if you don't want to unpack your Gazebo, a long drop toilet and a nice firepit. We were testing some new camping gear so we used our new Gazebo and toilet :) and although we did get some firewood, we were a bit tired and crashed out early without having a fire. While there was a little road noise from the nearby highway on occasion, it never disturbed us at all. The stars were also a definite highlight as well. Be aware that there is no Optus reception, at all, and only very very sporadic Telstra reception - which did not bother us one bit! We appreciated the silence! :) An added bonus is - The Yarraman Bakery is just down the road, where you can get some awesome pies! Thank you Laura, Neil and Annabelle! We will definitely be returning in the future :)

Beautiful place, great hosts!
Had such a great camping experience at Oakford's Place! Beautiful camping area and heaps of space. There is a shelter and table to use, which was super useful! Hosts were so lovely! Incredibly helpful leading up to stay and so helpful and informative throughout our stay. Would definitely recommend and will certainly return!

Oakford's Place
Amazing place and hosts
We had the whole place to ourselves. We loved the cows coming through camp in the morning, exploring the creek with the kids, and the supplied firewood burned hot and long. The hosts went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect stay. We'll definitely be back to check out the other campsite next time.

Valley views
We want to thank the hosts at Empty Pockets for the most peaceful and soul refreshing stay on top of the world at the 'Valley Views' site on the property. Our senses were blown away by the views, wild life and serenity. Two nights were not enough, we will definitely return to enjoy the simplicity and splendour. We had calves and their mums visit our site which really added to the farm stay experience and tranquility. As we enjoyed our breakfast we watched a big wedge tail eagle riding the updrafts as she hunted her own breakfast. The whole picture was superb. Perfect camp site for our big 21 ft caravan. Free firewood and a fantastic big fire pit. Perfect rustic bench for taking in the views while you sip your drink of choice. Great hosts. Awesome spot. A+

Great spot to unwind. Very quiet day and night. Unfortunately for us, no fires due to conditions which is totally understandable . Directions and communication from Laura, top notch. Neil is a great fella to chat with. Easily a return venue.
