wilderness camping
in unspoilt nature
Glenworth Valley is not like a caravan park. Ecology and sustainability are at the heart of what we do.
To bring the joys of family-friendly bush camping to the region, our campsites are kept in a natural state and are all unpowered. Most campsites scattered along Popran Creek in large open fields, which our 200 horses also call home during times when campers are not visiting.
As such, you shouldn’t expect the grounds to be manicured or have all the comforts and facilities of a regular caravan park. A strict 10pm noise curfew is also in force at all times with onsite management.
