Weekend Trip to Willa Willa Park

Darren and his wife Kim were absolutely lovely. My kids had a great time, we will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Dharawal Camp

Had a great time camping at the property. The amenity of the cabin was a great feature. Surrounded by greenery and the sound of birds. The camp spot felt private, we will be back soon.

Weekend Trip to Down by the Hawkesbury

Spent the weekend with my parents, brother and husband over the weekend and we had the best time! The gazebo was the best place to hang with the family and spend some quality time, we made good use of the pizza oven, fire place, fire pit & fridge! Everything was tidy and clean and Megan's communication through the days leading up to it was amazing! The place is private, however the neighbouring rental(?) spots is very quite close by and so on the first night, the neighbours who seem to have built in entertainment systems and speakers were playing music very loudly up until 1am which made it a pretty rough night for us. Also I may have missed this during the booking process, but there is also 4 dogs, which visit the site often :)

Weekend Trip to Wedderburn Hideaway

Everyone is sooooo welcoming, the pony, horse, cow and of course the 3 adorable dogs. We had a great night stay, will definitely go again ☺️

Weekend Trip to Willa Willa Park

We loved our stay at Darren's place. It was a hidden gem close to Sydney - from being welcomed by Darren, his dog (PJ) and Johnny the donkey, to stargazing at night, being able to do campfire, to the amenities and being able to interact with the animals. It was such an enjoyable experience and our group would love to be back!

2 nights at Silky Oaks Flower Farm

Lovely place to stay. We enjoyed feeding the horses and sitting around the firepit

Weekend Trip to Humble HipCamp

Thanks for having us! Great little spot close to public transport and the water.

Weekend Trip to Myrtle Ridge farm

Bev was very accomodating as we were running a couple hours late and arrived in the dark. The camp ground was very well set out and easy to find. We enjoyed a good night sleep and toilets were very clean. Left early so didn’t get to use the shower but will definitely be back on our trips up the coast and back. Thanks again.

Weekend Trip to Canoelands Valley Camping

Highly recommended. I camped with my son in a spacious secluded site, fantastic view of the mountains and a beautiful sunset.

Weekend Trip to Willa Willa Park

We absolutely loved camping on Darren's property. Quiet, with facilities, and all of his animals were the absolute highlight, especially the most friendly donkey and also 2 emus that you can cuddle! We can't wait to visit again.

Weekend Trip to Canoelands Orchard Camping

Peaceful location, great for stargazing just over an hour drive from the city... We had a great time. Night time wise the frog sounds weren't loud at all. Slightly slanted ground but still flat enough to work with. Thanks for having us!

Weekend Trip to Canoelands Orchard Camping

Great camp location for 1 night. Was in site 3, away from all other campers. Never disturbed/could not hear any other campers. Lots of space, decent facilities. Good flat ground for pitching tents.

1 night at Myrtle Ridge farm

Great spot. Great host. Convenient for a trip to Sydney. Will stay again.

Weekend Trip to Buxton Getaway

It was our second time here and we had site 6 with a nice view of the dam. Toilets were clean and stocked and not too far to walk. The kayaks were fun too.

Weekend Trip to Dharawal Camp

Beautiful and private camping spot. Beautiful bushland, a little creek for the kids to explore and lots of birdlife. Added convenience of the cabin with running water and bathrooms makes staying at David's land a real pleasure.

Weekend Trip to Canoelands Orchard Camping

The signage from the main road was what caught my interest. Drove in and booked a spot (online) from the car park. It felt so welcoming. I will be back.

Weekend Trip to Jila Camp Grounds

Great little spot, really enjoyed the stay. It’s quiet and a beautiful place. Things to note, no fire wood was provided even though the description said so.

Weekend Trip to Willa Willa Park

A lovely kid friendly place. The animals were a hit! Thanks Darren

Weekend Trip to Canoelands Orchard Camping

Great proximity to the city for a one or two nighter! Camp site 4 has a next door neighbour dog that barks a fair bit when you arrive but he settles down. Otherwise, nice spot and peaceful! We were able to arrive early and leave late which was a nice bonus. There’s lots of kindling around, too.

Weekend Trip to Jila Camp Grounds

Nice camp! Grounds were very well maintained and clean. Amazing tall gum trees spread over the property make for a beautiful area and the river is amazingly clear. Will be back!

Canoelands Orchard Camping

20 sites · RVs, Tents81 acres · Canoelands, NSW

Canoelands Orchard Camping and Fruit Picking, is located just 1 hour from Sydney's CBD. The property is 81 acres in total with a small shop and cafe onsite. We offer pick your own fruit so are open to the public daily (closed on occasion). Trading hours can be viewed at www.bookingscanoeladns.com. We are surrounded by the stunning valley views of Marra Marra National Park. Guests can enjoy hiking, wandering the orchard picking fresh produce, taking a tractor ride, feeding the animals and relaxing. Please note we are a working farm so sometimes tractors and vehicles can be heard working from 7am. There will be foot traffic and possibly tractor rides operating near some of the sites although we will do our best to respect your privacy while you are here. We also have a quarry surrounding most of the property, so they sometimes operate machinery early. This is not generally too disruptive though. We are just 15 minutes' drive from the beautiful historical Wiseman's Ferry and the Hawkesbury River. There are multiple hiking tracks located close by. We have several sites to offer around the property. We have a beautiful huge dam just 350m down the gully. It’s super peaceful although a steep walk down the driveway to access, it's definitely worth it, so pack your walking shoes and some swimmers.
