ADD-ON for School Bus Camping

Great stay at Fern Valley Ranch

This is our second time at Fern Valley Ranch and we loved it just as much. The walk to the water fall is lovely and the kids loved the farm animals. We will be back again!

Weekend Getaway

We had a great time at the Fern Valley Campsite!! amazing location with beautiful surroundings with the added bonus of having a fruit orchard near by. Good distance from Sydney but very much away from it all. The caretaker was great and very helpful throughout.

Charming Converted School Bus

Weekend at Fern Valley Ranch!

I with my two friends stayed in the bus for two nights. The whole weekend was absolutely amazing as was our stay in the bus. The walk to the waterfall was easy, the camping area was spacious and the choice to pick oranges from the orchard was there if you chose to do so. The peacefulness and serenity of the whole area was great. Highly recommended. Thank you Jiji!

Orchard & Pine Trees Camping

First time to camp here and definitely loved the place. Such a peaceful, clean and nice camp that makes you feel you are isolated but is actually near Sydney. Ballyn was really nice, helped us out during our stay. Jiji the host has been very responsive and helpful. Will definitely be back, such a family friendly spot.
