This camp is perfect for groups/families wanting to have a campfire, a bit of space from other campers and to have room for the kids to run around and kick a ball.
Fires are restricted to existing fire pits to minimize scars on the ground. If you prefer to bring your own fire pit we ask that you leave no trace. Fires are only permitted when there are no RFS bans in place. Please be extra vigilant around this as our community is only just recovering after the devastating recent fires. Fires are to be modest and discrete. Out of respect for our neighbors and other campers, please do not use a chainsaw at the campground. Please do not leave rubbish in your fire pit. Things like cigarette butts, cans, beer caps and food scraps need to be taken with you. We pride ourselves with keeping the sites as pristine as possible and ask that you follow our 'leave no trace' policy.
Note: there is no water on the property so you will need to allow enough to ensure you have completely extinguished your fire before you depart. Please bring your own firewood, or you can purchase firewood from most service stations in the Blue Mountains. Please do not collect from the campground, if campers did this, the surrounding bushland would quickly be depleted and loose its natural feel. However, it is ok to collect small kindling to start your fire.
There is a composting toilet on-site with toilet paper and Hand Sanitizer supplied.
Well behaved pets are welcome and we encourage you to keep your dog on a lead if they are likely to adventure too far from your site and disturb the local wildlife or other campers.
If you are interested in a longer free stay and are open to a trade for a small amount of labor each day, please reach out. There is always lots of things we need to get done, but don't always have the time.
Acknowledgement of Country:
Our property is located within the Country of the Dharug and Gundungurra peoples. My family recognises that Dharug and Gundungurra Traditional Owners have a continuous and deep connection to their Country and that this is of great cultural significance to Aboriginal people, both locally and in the region. For Dharug and Gundungurra People, Ngurra (Country) takes in everything within the physical, cultural and spiritual landscape - landforms, waters, air, trees, rocks, plants, animals, foods, medicines, minerals, stories and special places. It includes cultural practice, kinship, knowledge, songs, stories and art, as well as spiritual beings, and people: past, present and future.
My family and I pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging while recognising the strength, capacity and resilience of past and present Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the Blue Mountains region.
Our hope is that by being custodians of this beautiful property, we will help preserve it for future generations as a place to connect with nature and each other. We hope you love and respect this property as much as our family does. It is a privilege to share it with like minded people who enjoy stepping out of our busy lives to connect with nature, family and friends.

Available this weekend
Caravan camping in New South Wales with campfires guide
Head north and south ofĀ SydneyĀ and youāll find more beaches than you can count, as well as lakes and winding rivers, thundering waterfalls, and lush rainforests. Beyond the sandstone curtain of the Great Dividing Range, with its gorges in the north and snow-covered alps in the south, stretch the western slopes and plains, full of country towns and hidden surprises. Head to the far west and youāll find yourself on the edge of theĀ Outback. With moreĀ national parksĀ than any other state (and more diversity of landscapes, too) New South WalesĀ deliversĀ the goods when it comes to unforgettableĀ getaways.
Where to Go
The Blue Mountains
Lace up your boots for one ofĀ Australia's bestĀ bushwalkingĀ destinations. The ridge of mountains two hours west of Sydney by road or trainĀ is a World Heritage-listed wonderland of sandstone canyons, waterfalls, valleys, and clifftop lookouts. The national parkĀ offers remote bush campsites, or you can go for a bit more comfortĀ in one of the regionās many caravan andĀ holiday parks.Ā
NSW North Coast
The coastline of northernĀ NSW, from north of Newcastle to the Queensland border, is classic beach holiday territory. Almost every town has at least oneĀ caravan park, often with waterfrontĀ campsites, and most of the coastline is protected byĀ national parksĀ with fantasticĀ camping spotsĀ and facilities. Flanked by the Great Dividing Range and World Heritage rainforests,Ā the North Coast has Hipcampers spoilt for choice.Ā
NSW South Coast
Every bit as wild as theĀ North Coast, the South Coast stretches south of Sydney to the Victorian border with a string ofĀ national parks, state forests, campgrounds,Ā and seaside towns with family-friendlyĀ holiday parks.Ā KangaroosĀ andĀ wallabiesĀ graze the camping grounds and laze on the beaches, which have some of the whitest sand in the world. Kayak the waterways, bushwalk the forests, and soak in the views from the mountaintops.
Snowy Mountains
AlpineĀ New South Wales, also known as theĀ Snowy Mountains, stretches from the ACT south to the Victorian border along the spine of the Great Dividing Range. Along with hundreds of camping spots, the big attraction of Kosciuszko National Parkāthe largestĀ national parkĀ inĀ NSWāisĀ Australiaās highest peak, MountĀ Kosciuszko. In winter, the area is a magnet for skiers, and in summer, fishing,Ā bushwalking,Ā and mountainĀ bikingĀ reign supreme.
NSW Outback
The far western corner ofĀ NSWĀ is a great introduction to theĀ Outback, where endless red dust plains seem to stretch on forever under cloudless blue skies. Take aĀ road tripĀ out here and you'll see plenty ofĀ kangaroosĀ and emus, but not many people. National parksĀ such as Mungo, Mutawintji, and Kinchega offer superbĀ camping spots, Aboriginal art sites, and stunning scenery.
