Weekend Trip to Windy Oaks Farm, O'Connell

Beautiful location next to the river, very accessible, only a short distance off the road. Awesome to be able to have a campfire at night and look at millions of stars. Angela and Tony were both lovely, they gave us eggs from their chickens, homemade tomato sauce made from veges from their own garden, and saffron grown by them too! Would definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Wildwoods - Private bush surrounds

I recently stayed at this campsite and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The location is absolutely beautiful—nestled in a quiet, peaceful area surrounded by tall trees and nature all around. It felt like a true escape from the noise and stress of everyday life. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for tranquility and a deep connection with nature. I’ll definitely be coming back!

2 nights at Wildwoods - Private bush surrounds

Such a great spot! Quiet, dog friendly and private. Was just what we needed to escape the city for a couple days. Would definitely come back. Highly recommend.

1 night at Camp Crudine

Camp Crudine is a very quiet and peaceful spot. It is 4WD access only, so some experience with 4WD is recommended. Not required, but it would definitely be very helpful in navigating the fun road to both sites. A lovely spot indeed. Thanks Camp Crudine.

Weekend Trip to Bonnie Doon at Bell

A great place to go camping with a great host. Plenty of options for things to do on the property and in the area within a short drive

Weekend Trip to Aurora-Exclusive Blue Mountains

This place is something special ! The 4km 4WD track to the site was a bit of fun. Lots of wildlife to listen to and see. There was a group at the other site nearby, but we had enough privacy and peace. Can’t wait to go back !

Wildwoods - Private bush surrounds

9 sites · RVs, Tents330 acres · Megalong, NSW

At Wildwoods you'll find 330 acres of natural bushland and a small amount of cleared farmland/paddocks with incredible views in every direction. Endless gullies, mountains, forests, cliffs, and caves to explore on the property or on the crown land adjoining. An amazing amount of wildlife - Birds, wombats, kangaroos of all kinds (wallaby, wallaroo, eastern greys etc), goannas, echidnas, turtles, ducks just to name a few. There are also plenty of roads to ride and explore via mountain bike or foot. The road in is a little rough, and there is only a small amount of levelled land. But it is still an amazing spot, where nature does all the hard work, and I would love to share it with people. This is the perfect place for those who want to be in total peace and quiet, surrounded by nature and wildlife. Each campsite is private, where by you're the only camper able to book the site. Some are more private than others - Read each description for details. *Please note* access to the property is via Megalong Road - a narrow windy road, the only road in and out of Megalong Valley. Google maps can sometimes show options through Kanimbla Valley - This is not possible. Ensure you come in via Megalong Road.

Bonnie Doon at Bell

9 sites · RVs, Tents500 acres · Bell, NSW

Our property is located in the Blue Mountains, nestled right in the middle of the national park and all that the Blue Mountains bush has to offer. Gums, ferns, fresh air and swimming holes. I only allow one group to camp at any one time per site. Other groups will be well away from you. However the dam is available for everyone to use. I adjust each booking with each group depending on size of the group and time of year. I also hold large events so will book out the entire site for large groups. Just a short drive from Sydney but a world away with its ancient forests and meandering pathways. All photos are from the site or within a 2km walk of the camping site in National Park or reserve. I welcome self-contained campers with your own camping toilet/shower, and drinking water. However there are facilities on site for smaller groups at an extra cost. The property offers a number of sites that can accommodate various group numbers. Please message me if you're interested in booking one or more listings for your special get together. Dogs are welcome as long as they are friendly, but no cats please. Also please be aware that we are surrounded by nature and part of nature are snakes and ticks. - we need to keep this environment for the wildlife. Please take all your belongings and rubbish with you when you leave. Leave it better than as you found it. Please be aware that due to our proximity to the road and rail that at times you will hear some traffic noise. But most times it is very quiet except for the frogs.
