Watton Airstrip is a stunning property, nestled on the Macquarie River. Featuring nine riverside campsites, along with paddock and bush sites, all 4WD accessible and two equally stunning 2WD accessible sites; you鈥檒l share our spaces with kangaroos, emus, echidnas, deer, platypus and more. Enjoy some optional extras including Tammie鈥檚 home made bread; farm fresh, free range eggs; or pamper yourself

with a reiki session or tarot reading. The 2WD accessible sites feature spectacular views to the right, towards Mt Panorama and Mount 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 in 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. 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.

Gorgeous spot on the river. We had our toddler with us and this spot is far enough back from the river that we didn鈥檛 have to worry about her near the water. Sites are spaced out and you had your own area to yourself. Would definitely go back again 馃檪

Stunning property! Watton Airstrip was the best campsite we鈥檝e ever been to. Tammie & Damo are amazing hosts and there is so much to enjoy on the property with the river, campfires, animals and great walks. Please note the 4WD road to the bottom campsites is difficult and only suitable for smaller vans and a strong tow vehicle.

Our third visit to Damien and Tammie鈥檚 property and it was just as great as always. Such a well presented camp site with great hosts. Great to see them nursing a wombat back to health too. Looking forward to our next visit!

This footage was captured in a valley not too far from home a couple of weekends ago. We counted close to 20 wedge tailed eagles soaring around looking for their breakfast. Absolutely magical!

Magic stay with the kids! A great spot to reconnect with nature and get off the grid. The kids loved playing on the beach and patting the farm animals. They didn鈥檛 want to leave. Can鈥檛 wait to go back!

I highly recommend this site. It is easy to access and has flat land to place your tent.It also has a really nice view and is quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed watchong sunset and sunrise. They are so beautiful. We are definitely going back.

This hairy fella is holidaying at Watton Airstrip whilst we treat him for sarcoptic mange that had him almost beaten. You know they鈥檙e not feeling great when you can walk up and give a fully grown male wombat a scratch and he lets you pick him up without savaging you. We figure it鈥檚 the least we can do for the wildlife who share our property. Once he鈥檚 feeling better and his mange is on the mend, he鈥檒l be released back where we found him. In the meantime hes catching up on some zzzzz鈥檚 sans itching during the day and filling his belly all night. The perfect wombat holiday!
