Explore the region’s natural wonders with ease: take a dip in the hot artesian bores, hike up the majestic Mt Kaputar, or embark on a search for the elusive pink slug. For a more relaxed outing, enjoy a picturesque picnic at the stunning Sawn Rocks. During your stay, you have the option to enhance your experience with a gourmet breakfast each morning or a delicious grazing box in the afternoons. These options feature special local foods and are available upon request at an extra charge. They’re perfect for starting your day right or for enjoying a delightful snack with a beverage as the sun is setting. Feel free to make use of our fire bucket for cozy evening campfires under the stars of Big Sky Country. You can choose to enjoy your stay in complete privacy or, if you prefer, we’re always happy to have a yarn and provide some local tips and recommendations. Whether you’re looking to relax and soak in the views or seeking adventure, 'Camping at Nandewar' provides a unique camping experience with both comfort and convenience.

We have four primative campsites suited to all types of large and small, self sufficient campers in RV's, caravans, camp trailers, vans and tents. All sites are unique and positioned to enhance space and privacy as well as proximity and views of the river. They all showcase the varying, natural beauty and characteristics of the landscape. You can also book our amazing, award winning glamping tent. We are not a party campsite. Our little slice of paradise is for peace and relaxation. We also need to respect and encourage the presence and abundance of birds and animals and continue to ensure it is a peaceful and quiet home for them. You can enjoy your music just as long as other campsites and the local wildlife can't hear it.

We are not in a high traffic area so you may get to enjoy having the place all to yourself. Our campsites have good access for all types of camp set ups and are not impacted by flooding. Nor do they become boggy in wet weather due to the high sand content in our soil. You could be sitting on the warm sandy bank overlooking the river and being captivated by the surrounding beauty and the magnificence of the swimming hole. This secret little piece of paradise has been untouched for 40 years and is home to an abundance of birdlife. Birds include the colourful Rainbow bee eaters, Kingfishers, Superb Fairy Wrens, Eastern Yellow Robins, Red Browed Finch and many more.

Well behaved dogs on leash and supervised at all times are welcome. If you would like to enquire about having the place to yourselves send me a message. ACCESS CONDITIONS: To help you decide if your set up is suitable you can google Riverside Escape Camping Manilla and find 2 videos on 23 and 25 May 2022 taken of me driving up and down the track to the campsites in my old Ford Courier that is NOT 4x4. There are lots of other useful videos to get a good sense of our campsite. You will also get a sense of the distance between each site. We recognise the Kamilaroi / Gomeroi people as the traditional custodians of this land.
