The Farm is a grazing property situated on 13,000 acres surrounded by the tranquil Pilliga Forest\. Only access is a 10km dirt road of the Newell Highway, north of Coonabarabran \(follow directions below\)\. As well as farm animals, the farm hosts a thriving community of birds and well\- designed bush tracks where you can discover local wildlife, plants, Aboriginal artifacts, great lookouts, sandstone cliffs and caves all in the midst of the Pilliga Forrest\. Barkala Farmstay is also home to Pilliga Pottery and the Blue Wren Bush Cafe \(closed Wednesdays\), offering pottery demonstrations and workshops, traditional European inspired fresh foods with ingredients from our organic green house and homemade Gelato\. The property offers two camp sites, Goanna and Kellies Campground, which are freely available to anyone who books a camping stay with us\. There are no allocated camping spots in either campground, thus it is first come, first serve\. We offer large camping spots with no campground boundaries hence there is space for vehicles of any size\. Both camping sites offer compost toilets and showers \(although we encourage short showers due to our off\-grid, self\-sustaining farm\)\. You are welcome to stop by the reception upon check\-in to hear more about our campgrounds and we can help you find the perfect camp spot and tell you more about what we have to offer\. Campers are welcome to enjoy feeding of our farm animals, our saltwater pool and campfires\. Firewood can be collected on the property by yourself, or you can visit the reception to buy firewood\. There is no phone reception close to any buildings but free limited Wi\-Fi in the cafe area\. ## Key facts - Coordinates: -31.04614341895344, 149.3197793941955 ## Address Coonabarabran, New South Wales, AU ## Amenities - Biking - Cave - Cliff - Drinking\_water - Farm - Firewood - Forest - Hiking - Kitchen - Mountain - Potable Water - Prairie - River - Showers - Swimming - Swimming\_pool - Toilets - Trash - Trash\_disposal - Wifi - Wildlife Watching - Wildlife\_viewing ## Structured data (schema.org) Also available as raw JSON: https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/barkala-farmstay-coonabarabran-new-south-wales.json ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Campground", "@id": "https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/barkala-farmstay-coonabarabran-new-south-wales", "name": "Barkala farmstay", "description": "Barkala Farmstay is a self-sustaining farm located off the grid, supplying our own water and solar electricity.
