When I phoned to book Charlie asked enough questions to make sure our site was perfect for our stay especially as we were expecting some strong winds while we were here. Our site was huge/level & have their own toilet which was spotless & the best firewood, to make coals for cooking with, ever. The tracks were the absolute best part, so many different grades & the scenery ❤️❤️. We ended up staying an extra night, & with in minutes of arriving back at our site, more wood arrived. We were travelling by ourselves but if we had our usual travelling crew with us, we could have stayed weeks & covered more ground. As it is, we didn’t get all the driving done in this first trip but I know we will be back. I’m so glad we found this amazing stay, & truly can’t say enough about the property & their fantastic owners who honestly couldn’t have done any more to make us feel at home & welcome. We look forward to returning in the future.…

Very relaxed and great service. Great private campsite with clean toilet. They also supplied fire wood. Definitely recommend shame we couldn’t stay longer than 1 night as would have liked to explore the 4wd Tracks.

We had a wonderful stay at Bendleby Ranges- we were at the very end of hidden Valley in Cyprus campsite with our off road camper. There was plenty of wood and loo paper in the drop toilet which was fine and convenient! It was less than 10 mins drive to the new ensuite amenities which are amazing all built in water tanks! Plenty of hot water and very clean! The 4WDing was amazing and sunset ridge very romantic! We shared our time with kangaroos, emus, goats, abundant bird life We did some lovely walks And our quiet camp site next to the river gums was flat, shaded had plenty of firewood and was so serene we felt like we were a million miles from the rest of the world! We'll be back with the whole family to have fun on the hungry ranges 4WD tracks.

We stayed at Martys campsite (group of 4, two couples) with a camper trailer and a swag. We also brought our dog with us. At Martys, we were perfectly secluded from other campers but with all the convenience of being a short drive from the showers. The station provided us with a very generous amount of firewood for our stay. The 4WD was exhilarating and the Wallaby Loop Trail rewarded us with spectacular views. As to native wildlife, we saw roos, euros, an emu, lizards and birds. We stayed 3 nights, but easily could’ve stayed a few days longer to explore more of the station. We had such a great time and would definitely stay again. Thanks for having us, Bendleby Ranges!

We had a fabulous stay at Bendleby Ranges. We stayed in Acacia Cottage, the only dog friendly accomodations on the property and couldn’t have been happier. The cottage is well away from everyone ( except the sheep who visit every morning, a great view to wake up to ). We loved waking up to wide open views of the Hungry Ranges through the large windows and watching the changing colours of the ranges of an afternoon/ evening. We were able to cook great meals as the cottage kitchen had everything required. We had a great time exploring all the 4WD tracks with their fabulous views of the surrounding plains and mountain ranges as well as the Wallaby Trail, a hike well worth taking. Our dog very much enjoyed playing with the resident dogs Bella and Dixie at every opportunity. What a great place to stay in order to appreciate this harshly beautiful part of the world. Great to see many kangaroos, euros and emus, lots of ring necks and other parrots, galahs and, most special, a very slow moving echidna not afraid to mooch along giving us a good view just before sundown. Thank you for sharing your little poof paradise with us, Kind Regards, Chris Cameron…

We enjoyed our stay at one of the Bush Camps at Bendelby with our own drop toilet and the site just for our party. There are plenty of walks to do from camp site. The staff were really welcoming and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Our Bendleby Ranges Remote Camping spot was great with majestic views of the ranges. We enjoyed walking the walks (well signed) and ranges that surrounded our camp site following the goat tracks. We picked and chosed 4WD tracks and found them to be pretty solid and took us to some great spots. Camp Showers and toilets were excellent, and the long drop was not smelly. All in the 3 nights of camping was great and the firewood supplied kept us going amply for heat and cooking at night - our nights were 0 degrees. I certainly recommend this peaceful tourist destination - flies moved in as soon as the weather warmed up, but we were on our way home then.!!

Bendelby Ranges was recommended by travelers to us due to our plans needing to change. Became a strong contender for the best part of our trip - so thankful! The hosts are amazing - helpful, knowledgeable, easy going, fair. The camp ground and facilities were immaculate. We camped with not a person in site, even though within walking distance to the camp kitchen and bathrooms. Can't recommend travelling here for either camping, exploring or 4WDing. Awesome!

We had a fantastic stay at Bendleby Ranges.. We stayed in our caravan in a powered site. The sites are thoughtfully placed some distance from each other to maximise the glorious sense of peace that pervades this beautiful spot. The amenities were very clean and the showers nice and hot. We went on two of the recommended walks (in Hidden Valley) and they were wonderful. The staff are really friendly and helpful. We had a lovely time.

Thank you for your wonderful review. We try to maintain a sense of space in our campground, we are not your typical "caravan park"! Great to hear you enjoyed the bushwalking in the Hidden Valley, it's such a beautiful place to discover. We look forward to seeing you another time.
