Escape to Trout Valley Retreat, a hidden gem nestled in a valley surrounded by towering mountains and winding rivers, just a three-hour drive from Sydney. This is a place where the rush of city life fades into the sounds of flowing water, rustling leaves, and gentle breezes—a serene haven built for quiet moments and rejuvenation. Here, you can wake up to a world untouched and wild. Enjoy the thrill of trout fishing in the pristine river that flows right through the property, or simply take a refreshing swim. Watch as kangaroos hop by, going about their day in the tranquil, open spaces that surround you. As the sun sets, gather around a campfire under the wide, star-filled sky, feeling the warmth of the flames as the cool mountain air settles in. Trout Valley Retreat offers an intimate escape where you won’t be crowded by neighbours—just you, your companions, and the peaceful embrace of nature. This place is for those who need to truly unwind, disconnect from the stress of daily life, and find calm in the simplicity of the wilderness. Whether you're here to fish, spend quality family time, or simply sit quietly by the river, Trout Valley Retreat promises a restorative experience in one of the most breathtaking spots west of the Blue Mountains. Reconnect with nature, slow down, and let the beauty of this secluded sanctuary renew your spirit. Well-behaved dogs are welcome to join you on your stay, giving them plenty of space to roam, explore, and enjoy the fresh mountain air. To ensure a great experience for all guests and to protect the local wildlife, we kindly ask that dogs remain under control at all times and that you clean up after them. Let your furry friend enjoy the freedom of nature while you relax in complete peace and privacy! 4WD are recommended but not essential.

Originally settled in 1889 "Bobs Grant" this lovely property and the surrounding land was originally used for farming but is now mostly turf farms. Enjoy our little getaway down by the Hawkesbury River only 10 minutes from historic Windsor. A beautiful river shack for your use exclusively, including fire pit with direct access to the Hawkesbury river. Destroyed in the March and July 2022 floods, we have now re-built and are loving welcoming back our guests. Bring your caravans, tent or swag - all are welcome! Unfortunately, boats are not. Relax and enjoy the serenity whilst being only 1 hour from Sydney. We offer the site to one group only, a maximum of 20 guests. However note, we are not a place for rowdy groups and parties. Groups are welcome here to enjoy the time with their family and friends, play a little music and relax by the river. The river can get busy (which is great after the floods as it has been dead for so long) and so can the road across the river but if you are enjoying your family and friends you won't even notice! We have one basic toilet, and one river water shower available too! Please bring your own drinking water. ​Fires are only permitted when allowed, in the designated areas only.

55km from Bell · 252 sites · Tents, RVs · Upper Nile, NSW
Camping in a natural sandstone amphitheatre with amazing wildlife at your campsite on Eurella, Glen Alice. Set in the heart of the Capertee Valley, consisting of 4000 acres of freehold land, the grounds are located off the public road. The property raises horses, cattle & sheep with private trails to ride a bicycle or walk; cliffs to climb and caves to explore, all at the base of the majestic Tyan Peak. No recreational motor bike activity, four wheel driving pursuits or shooting permitted. Our campers are seeking solitude, tranquility and peaceful moments with nature. Just 2 hours west of the Sydney fringes and in the centre of the amazing Capertee Valley, close to award winning vineyards at Rylstone and Mudgee, Glow Worm Tunnel and Dunns Swamp; all perfect day outings from your base of solitude in a space with very few campers within a kilometre of your camp. Perfect for group bookings, celebrations, music & wellness events, bird watching or simply enjoy the creative spaces. You will need your own supply of fresh drinking water, toilet paper, generator if you need power and of course, food and beverages! There are chemical toilets on site for your convenience. There is no mains power and internet is very patchy. Bring your own Starlink mobile for easy access to the internet whilst away; perfect solution for those unable to disconnect. Starlink Mobile can be switched off when back home so you are only charged when away relaxing! Perfect! Keeps the kids busy too, if they are tired of chasing balls in the vast open areas of the campground. Unique birdlife, reptiles, kangaroos, wallabies, goannas, echidnas, wombats & spiders! This particular area was the pilgrim site for the Wiradjuri First Nation where they conducted ceremonies at the base of the Spiritual Tyan Peak. There is no other freehold land closer to the Peak. CCC is renowned as a special place for healing; powerful grounding experiences have occurred here in the past. If you want a free spirited, nature experience, there is no other campground offering privacy, exclusive camp areas with multitudes of bush climbs! Generally you will not share this space with many campers at one time. Perfect place for mediation, writing, creative arts and relaxing
