Very private valley nestled between two mountainous sandstone ranges. 3.5 kilometers from Colebrook, via Yarlington road. The property in total size is 37 hectares half of which is gently undulating grassland slopes. These slopes lead to the banks of the beautiful Iles Creek which runs nearly all year round. The western range across the creek includes numerous caves within comfortable walking distance. The highest cave provides magnificent views to the East coast. Camping options include non-designated sites either side of the creek under the huge black-wood trees, restricted to 4-wheel drive vehicles during winter and spring months, with a secluded site with year-round access for all vehicles. At the entrance sits the first of the designated sites, the rest are accessed via the meandering road down 300 or so meters to the camping ground entrance for the other two sites. The last 500-700 meters of Yarlington road leading to the entrance is quite steep. Some two wheel drive vehicles towing large vans have found this challenging, while others haven't. The two main camping areas now have a 'bush loo' in each site. if you wish to use these please use your own paper. Also, now for camper convenience the whole area has access to the campers' lounge and resource shelter. It contains First Aid and snake bite first aid kits. Water is available here. This reconstructed building was once The Campania Scouts and guides, hall.

Great wilderness location with plenty of private sites on the property. Gordon and Therese was wonderful hosts, ensuring we had everything we needed. The site also has the cleanest long drop I’ve experienced!

What a sensational place! Just what we were after, somewhere tranquil and relaxing for a quick weekender with plenty of space. Hosts were great, friendly people. Thanks for a great stay, will definitely be back.

Very steep approach and entrance. We couldn't take the risk of entry and not being about to get out again towing 2wd. I feel this should have been included in the description. We forfeited out stay rather than take a chance on not being able to get out again.
