Silverton Camping Farm Stay

Silverton Outback Camels offers a raw, unforgettable farm stay experience deep in the Australian Outback at 1939 Silverton Rd, Silverton NSW. Situated just 20 minutes from Broken Hill, this small, family-run operation invites visitors to spend one to seven nights camping in a sprawling, animal-friendly setting that honors the rich local heritage of cameleers and pioneers. Far from the comforts of city life, this site delivers unfiltered access to vast open spaces framed by endless horizons, dramatic sunsets, and some of the clearest starry skies in New South Wales.

The campsite features several unpowered grounds where guests can camp beside friendly farm creatures—ponies, donkeys, goats, sheep, and, notably, camels that connect this place to Silverton’s unique history. The camels are an integral live link to past cameleer families who helped open this semi-arid region, with descendants still prominent in the area today. Visitors are welcome to meet these impressive animals and learn about their significance in local history, including Silverton’s ties to the Bourke & Wills expedition routes.

Though there’s no electricity or showers on-site, campers have access to flush toilets and are encouraged to bring their own gear for a true Outback experience. During cooler months, fire pits are available where guests can warm up, share stories, and watch the Milky Way stretch overhead. The farm’s location also lends itself to quiet walks, bike rides, or jogs amid the expansive, rugged bushland.

Silverton Outback Camels stands out for blending immersive nature stays with deep cultural respect, preserving the stories of pioneering cameleer families while providing a peaceful, authentic escape. It’s an ideal destination for travelers craving genuine Outback solitude, connection with animals, and a night sky that’s impossible to forget.
