You will not find a better spot within two hours on Sydney. I’m reluctant to share how good it is in fear of it being booked out next time we go. We went for a family catch up before Christmas. Even though it was a 40 degree weekend it didn’t feel like it under the beautiful shady trees. The river, though busy with boats on the hottest weekend of the year offered a quick refresh in a floating tube.
Megan the host was fantastic, responsive and warm. The property itself is immaculate. Beautiful sunsets, My Brother hired Mabel the vintage caravan for the two nights and loved lt.
It was the perfect weekend. Thank you so much Megan.

Melon Oak is a peaceful campsite with the loveliest host. Only an hour from Sydney airport and you feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere with barely a soul insight. Close by, Picton is a charming little town with cute cafe’s and an ice creamery. As always, pack the mozzie repellent!

This is the 3rd time our group of 20 have stayed here. Just as amazing as the last times. It's so relaxing and spacious for a large group. The facilities great and awesome to explore the local area. This time it was exploring near by Bilpin with great markets and cider. Megan and her husband are fantastic hosts. We are already looking forward to our next stay

We’ve loved staying on a few different small farms as we travel around. Michaela’s farm is great. Nice and quiet. Lots of wildlife about as well to entertain the kids.

We just had the best weekend of camping at Down by the Hawkesbury. The site is so beautiful, and the facilities (particularly the undercover area) are excellent. The pizza oven had to change nationality for our curry night, so it could produce K & T’s amazing naan bread.
Our group all had a wonderful time and we are so looking forward to our next stay at the end of the year.
Thank you so much Megan and Trevor, you both made our stay so easy to arrange, and it was great when Trevor brought the dogs down to say hello.
We would certainly recommend Down by the Hawkesbury to others, but please don’t book it when we want to visit!!
Thanks again
From our whole group.

Great place well kept, friendly host and the dam site is so tranquil waking up to the birdlife and falling asleep to the sound of frogs. Was a good base for our stay in Sydney

Me and my husband visited and we had a wonderful time. There was heaps of space all to ourselves, which our cattle dog took advantage of, and the view we had was spectacular. The hosts were super friendly, we would definitely come back with more people in tow.

Loved camping here! Megan and Trevor provided all the essentials we needed! A warm shower, a toilet and a perfect hut with a gorgeous fireplace. Direct access to the water so the kids could splash. We will definitely return! Thanks so much guys!

Great little place and easy to find. Michaela (Host) was super nice, and Teddy the dog is the friendliest thing since I dont know when.
This site is only 8 minutes from Windsor Beach, which is the start line of the Hawkesbury classic, marathon events, and other paddle based adventure.
So it would make an extraordinary staging point to get the kayaks and canoes ready before any of these events.
Loved staying here.
Will stay again.

Great location with privacy even though owners house nearby and that was only as it was too wet to drive to near the dam. Quiet with beautiful views with flat ground. Would recommend

This campsite was honestly a dream. We had the whole place to ourselves and it felt like our own private getaway. Super peaceful, heaps of space, and nothing but nature around us. Nights by the fire under the stars were unreal, and mornings were just as good waking up to birds instead of alarms.
It was clean, easy, and way more comfortable than we expected. Perfect mix of adventure and chill. If you’re after a camping spot that feels private and special, this is the one. Megan and Trev were very accommodating and super easy to deal with, the pups Coco pops and Millie were a pleasure to have around, Timmy on the neighbouring property was an good bloke Already planning our next trip back!

Megan and Trevor are the most amazing hosts, and their property and outlook is superb. Caravan site right on the magnificent Hawkesbury River, perfect for fishing if that is your desire or just relaxing and seeing the world go by.
Surprisingly a shower and toilet was also available plus a private shelter with dining tables and chairs, fireplace and party lights! The outside fire pit was also a bonus.
Their rascally sausage dogs were a delight!
An amazing place and beautiful hosts - what more could you ask for?
Thanks Megan and Trevor.

Great spot that isn't a million miles fr9m Sydney, yet it is far enough away to make you forget the stresses of the week. Lyndall was a lovely host, site was neat and tidy and firewood was a major bonus. Suitable if your set up / rig is large. Mobile reception is sketchy but it does exist.

Megan is a wonderful host and accomodating! The property is beautiful and right by the river. The toilet and shower area is clean and it is a fantastic place to relax and camp. We also had the opportunity to borrow Mabel, the trailer, and she was setup beautifully. Great for beginner campers! Thanks for having us 😊
