Creature comforts

Clothing optional
Welcomes Hipcampers who prefer a clothing optional experience.
Maalaabidi is a clothing-optional farm stay with a cabin, camping (limited power to some sites), an old hanger rec area with coffee bar, camp kitchen, antique machinery display, and a private 900mtr airstrip. You'll find great views and magical sunrises, a communal campfire, camp kitchen, hot showers, and toilets. Enjoy the recreation area where you can listen to music, get a real barista coffee or just sit around the campfire in the evening and look at the stars (we are in the astronomy capital of Australia). By day, stroll through the bush and enjoy the wildlife and wildflowers or take a drive to the many local attentions like the Warrumbungle National Park, The Sandstone Caves (a local Aboriginal significant site), Pilliga Pottery, or Crystal Kingdom. Whilst we are a clothing-optional venue, don't be discouraged if you are not one to bare all, just come with an open mind that is respectful of the choices and individuality of others.

Dingo Den
We really enjoyed our peaceful 8-night stay at the Dingo Den. We’re relatively new to naturism and had the place mostly to ourselves. We were welcomed by an intense thunderstorm. The next morning, we woke with the birdcalls, watching the sunrise as the wallabies and kangaroos left the paddocks to shelter in the bush, and feeling the warm rays on our skin as we breakfasted on the verandah. The birds were numerous and diverse – pack your bird guide and binoculars. Sun-bathing and sun-worship took on new meanings for us. Some windy days were cold enough for clothes. On hot days we kept our shirts and hats on to protect our skin on walks around the property which includes beautiful bushland, sometimes enjoying an outdoor shower in the sun afterwards. We watched the bearded dragons warm up in the sun too, climbing up the posts in the vineyard and, in the evenings, we watched the moon rise and star-bathed beneath the stunning night skies. The Dingo Den facilities were excellent – a comfy bed, a large fridge, a sink, plenty of cutlery and crockery, a toaster and jug, the verandah, an outdoor toilet and shower, soft towels, with a shared kitchen a stroll away. Maalaabidi was also a perfect base to visit Warrumbungle and Timmallallie National Parks and the other natural and cultural attractions of the Piliga Forest. Graham was a great host and so much more than that. He’s a story-teller, a didgeridoo and electric fiddle player, an ultralight pilot, a farmer, a barista, and an Aboriginal cultural ambassador. His family history, his culture, his work, and his whole life are grounded in this place which was a privilege for us to share and a great lived example of the connection to place that we all need to learn from. Thank you Graham (and Janice). We look forward to our next visit.

Graham's spot is just lovely. We felt very welcome and I am so pleased we stayed. Graham was always happy to accommodate and share his local knowledge. He has great plans for the place and its taking shape. Agree with other reviews about the shower - very relaxing and the little details, like shampoo were a lovely surprise. Thank you for the yummy coffee and hospitality. We will be back!

Beginners journey of naturalism.
Beautiful spot. Graham is a great host, incredibly welcoming. If you’re curious about the naturalist lifestyle, great place to start, respectful, open minded and kind. You don’t have to if you don’t want to, and all respect remains. Best camping shower I’ve had, and graham offers barista coffee! If you’re also a musician the man’s got it all. Would recommend it to anyone!
