Bathampton is a rural locality in the Central Tablelands region of New South Wales, situated within the Bathurst Regional Council local government area and sharing the 2795 postcode. The area is characterized by undulating agricultural lands, native bushland, and scattered rural residential properties. Due to its small population, demographic data for Bathampton is typically amalgamated with the broader Bathurst rural region, with residents relying on nearby urban centers for employment and services.

Local life in Bathampton is centered around primary agricultural pursuits, including grazing and cropping, alongside rural-residential living. The locality is primarily agricultural and residential, lacking major commercial amenities, retail centers, or industrial zones. Residents access shopping, healthcare, education, and professional services in the nearby regional city of Bathurst, located a short drive away.

European settlement in the Bathampton area dates back to the early 19th century following the expansion of the colony beyond the Blue Mountains into the Bathurst plains.

While few major commercial historical sites remain publicly prominent within the locality itself, the landscape retains traces of early colonial land grants and historic rural properties.
