Camping at Cullendore High Country

This peaceful and spacious campground is located on a 4000-acre cattle property, half of which is used exclusively for camping.  Your drive to the property takes you along a scenic dirt track with beautiful views of the mountains.  Kangaroos, Cows and an abundance of birdlife greet you as you drive in and will continue to be seen throughout your stay.  After checking in at the office and being given your maps; you will begin your drive through the property.

The campgrounds are divided into four regions:

Mountain Camp – Set on a mountain top amongst the trees, these campsites offer a degree of privacy and lovely views of neighbouring mountains.  Flushing toilets are located at the beginning of the camp.

Forest Camp – These campsites range from larger sites on the tree line with open grassed areas to smaller sites dotted throughout the trees.  These tree sites offer fantastic shade and privacy from other campers.  Camp here to be closest to the hot showers and toilets.

Creek Camp – This camp area is the largest most open camping area at Cullendore High Country.  The campsites have plenty of space between them and a large open grassed area through the centre.  Most sites will offer the shade of a tree or two you can pitch your tent under.  You will also find a small creek flowing along the edge of the camp and a small dam to one end.  Flushing toilets are located at the entry to Creek Camp.

The Overflow – These sites are set along the border of several small streams or along the edge of Clancy’s dam.  Set at the furthest end of the campground, these sites offer seclusion and choice of pitching your tent under the shade of trees or on the sunny grassed areas.  Some of the sites would require a drive to the toilet block which is located at the entry to “The Overflow”

Accessibility

Each of the four camp areas is fully accessible to 2WD vehicles with only a few tracks limited to 4WD.

The property is suitable for caravans, camper trailers and tents alike, though offers no powered sites.
