Our family have lived at ‘Edgecote’ for eighteen years. We are predominantly horse breeders and trainers, however have some cattle and many dogs. We love the great outdoors and especially enjoy this ‘bottom paddock’ because of all the trees and the bird life. The dam gives the space a cool feel and a place for dogs to swim and retrieve.

Enjoy listening to the crackle of the campfire in the evenings. There is access to drinking water, but no amenities so you need to be a self-contained toilet/shower. Well behaved pets welcome.

A fully operational property running a mix of enterprises including livestock and manufacturing. There is approximately 3km of Manilla river running through the property. Sites are private and easily accessible. Pets welcome but must be supervised at all times. Animals found disturbing livestock will lead to guests being asked to leave immediately. This is a working farm and this should be respected. Sites are able to cater for larger groups of people with plenty of room. Plenty of room for kids to run around and play. Plenty of areas to walk and enjoy the river and the wildlife. It would be appreciated if vehicles are not driven around the property and are contained to the main entrance roads.

A fully equipped camp kitchen and hot showers and toilets made our experience so much better. A cattle ranch with horses made the country experience. Country photos every angle. Even the Kookaburras laughing. We will definitely come back with friends. Maree & Glen

Weekend Trip to Outback Fish Farm
The farm is well maintained, Rick is very welcoming. He is happy to chat or answer any questions. The stay itself is very relaxing, campers need to be self suffient bins provided through. Rick took us on a tour of his farm and explained the process of catching breeding fish, the breeding process, as well as, catching and releasing fish into the waterways. His dedication to us during the tour enabled us to catch a fish or two and enjoy this experience as a family. The children collected some yabby claws for show and tell. There were several unique experiences such as, the outdoor shower heated by a small fire, eating yabby omlette and drinking water from an underground bore, just to name a few that gave this camping stay its charm. We enjoyed our stay and will return again when travelling through the area.

Weekend Trip to Sheffield B&B Farm stay Tamworth
We had a great stay at Debrah’s. The paddock was well kept and we loved our view over the landscape, watching the flocks of birds. We were lucky to have a clear still night under an amazing canopy of stars. Incredible! The two flushing toilets were clean and well maintained. Debrah showed us the goats a their week old kids, so adorable.

We absolutely loved staying at Sheffield farm, would have loved to stay longer. Our daughter was excited to meet the cats, pony's, chicken and baby goats. The owners were very helpful and provided an extension lead so we could camp a little further out from the other campers. Would recommend!!

Weekend Trip to 3A Camping experience.
We stayed here for one night on our way down to southern NSW and really enjoyed it. The views were spectacular and made it feel like more than just a quick stop. Rohan was a friendly, helpful host and made everything easy. We had no trouble finding level ground for our caravans, and the power hookup was conveniently located. The toilet was a flushing one and honestly exceeded our expectations. The river was a bit low for swimming, but it was still nice to sit in and cool off. We wished we could have stayed longer just to relax and enjoy the surrounds.

Weekend Trip to Myall Springs Lake
Nice relaxing spot right in the lake. The field is full of prickles but on the flat area where the camp spot is there is a lot less. The lake is stunning, full of swans, ducks & turtles. We even had a few fish jumping out in front of us. The communication from the host was good but the instructions to the campsite were average. We had to confirm the exact spot with the host as the GPS pin was not near the campsite.

Wonderfully simple to book and an absolutely beautiful spot. My only regret is that I came with a hammock and not a swag It was very windy, which made it cold. That's my fault though, and I'll definitely be coming back the next time im in the area.
