Ranjen Farmstay and Stables is a quiet, working farm with cattle and horses at 658 Marsden Park Rd, Calala, just 10-15 minutes from Tamworth CBD. The drawcard is simple: open, level sites with room to move, spectacular sunsets over the dam, and a genuinely dog-friendly welcome on a real working property.
The pet policy. Dogs are welcome on the sites at no mentioned extra cost. This is a working farm with livestock, so dogs must be kept under control at all times. No off-leash roaming, no chasing the cattle or horses.

The place. Powered and unpowered sites suit caravans, camper trailers and motorhomes, with easy access for big rigs. Facilities are solid: clean toilets, hot showers and a cosy camp kitchen. Bring your own water for some sites. Wildlife and birds round out the scene.
Location and nearby. Calala has the essentials covered with a local IGA, bottle shop, pharmacy and pub nearby. Head into Tamworth for coffee at Humble Espresso or Oliver Brown, a meal at The Pig & Tinder Box, or a proper run at George Street Dog Park.
Who it suits. Travellers with self-contained setups who want a peaceful rural base close to town. Great for dogs that are steady around farm animals and don't need an off-leash area on site.
Before you book. Rated 4.8 stars from 20 reviews. Confirm your site type, check water requirements and make sure your dog is reliable around horses and cattle before you arrive.
When to go. Autumn and spring deliver the best of those dam sunsets without the summer heat or winter frosts. Book ahead for long weekends and the Tamworth Country Music Festival in January, when sites across the region fill quickly.
