    PLEASE BE SURE TO READ ALL OF OUR BIO ITS LONG BUT YOU'LL GET ALL THE INFORMATION YOU NEED! We are also available for small Weddings, Birthdays and other functions. Speak to us about using us for a working space for corporate or business trips, collaborations and more......... Watton Airstrip is a stunning property, nestled on the banks of the Macquarie River. Featuring an amazing rustic cabin, nine riverside campsites, along with paddock and bush sites, all 4WD accessible and two equally stunning 2WD accessible sites. You’ll share our spaces with kangaroos, wallabies, emus, echidnas, deer, platypus and more. Enjoy some optional extras, including Tammie's home made bread, farm fresh, free range eggs, or one of our range of grazing platters, home made jams or hot chocolate kits. Or pamper yourself with a Crystal reiki session, or tarot reading. The 2WD accessible sites feature spectacular views to the right, towards Mt Panorama and Mt Horrible and towards Mt Canobolas to the left. Lie back in your swag at night and let the star struck, velvety sky envelope you, or make a booking at the nearby Bathurst Observatory to see the stars up close. Each campsite offers its own unique features for you to enjoy and a hand crafted pit toilet is accessible to those camped along the river bank. Fish or swim in the river, ride your bikes, or set up camp and then head off on an adventure to the Goldfields at Ophir, or History Hill at Hill End via the Bridle Track. Better still, book into a pub crawl with Damo so you can lie back and enjoy the ride. There are plenty of opportunities for 4WDing and bushwalking in the local area. Fires are allowed (fire restrictions permitting). Wood can be collected from fallen wood around the property, or bring your own if you prefer. Pets are welcome for a one off fee per animal. We do ask that pets are supervised at all times and that they do not interfere with farm animals or local wildlife.

    Watton Airstrip is a beautiful destination, the perfect getaway in nature. We enjoyed our campsite on the banks of the Macquarie River, saw lots of wildlife and the star gazing was spectacular. This was our second time at Watton Airstrip amd we will definitely return in the future.

    We love Watton Airstrip and have stayed there a number of times now. Plenty of open space, toilet facility, pet friendly and the sound of the river is very relaxing. Highly recommend.

    The Deep Spot 4WD Only
    Family ,friends and dogs always love this place. Can’t compliment the hosts Damien and Tammie enough. It’s like you are staying on your families farm. Well spaced out camping spots. Lots of animals to see. Excellent views and a good stretch of the Maquarie river. You are missing out if you don’t try it. 4WD recommended for the full experience.

    Amazing views and beautiful riverside camp sites. A fun 4wd run down to the bottom with 3t of caravan on the back (even more fun climbing out). We enjoyed our short stay here.
