We have several sites to offer around the property. We have a beautiful huge dam just 350m down the gully.

We have several sites to offer around the property. We have a beautiful huge dam just 350m down the gully.

We loved our stay at Wedderburn Hideaway. Robert is a fantastic, friendly host and his 3 friendly dogs were a pleasure to have around. He has everything you could ask for on site! We will be sure to return soon.

Lambert and Deborah was awesome and accomodating right from the start. I had the place all by myself with the occasional kangaroo between morning nights and sunsets. Shared facilities was great as well. I had a wonderful stay and couldn’t ask for more. Hope to see Warm Corner again soon :))

A well maintained site with fantastic facilities. The huge undercover area was fabulous during our stay as we had rain on and off and we were all able to gather together. The undercover fire place and pizza oven were also enjoyed. We brought along our inflatable SUP and Kayak and were able to use these in the river, however be mindful there is motorised watercraft using the river also. We had a really enjoyable stay with our family. (3 couples)

We stayed one night at Canoelands Orchard Campground (Site 1) and had a wonderful family experience. The campground is very clean, safe, and peaceful.
Sites 1 and 2 are located separately from the other sites, which gave us great privacy—perfect for families with young children. Our child was able to play safely, explore nature, and really enjoy the outdoor space.
This was our second visit. We first came in December for fruit picking, and that lovely experience encouraged us to return and stay overnight. We truly enjoyed our time and would highly recommend this campground to families.

Camp was nice, but a little closer to the road than we thought when booking.
The walk to the bottom dam was definitely steeper than we thought it would be, but the swim was great on a 35⁰C day.

A lovely stay for a night away from Sydney! We thoroughly enjoyed fruit picking and walking around the orchard. The camp spot was well kept and had a gorgeous view of the valley. It was a bit noisy from the buildings nearby in the later evening but other than that it was a wonderful time! Would certainly recommend!!

This was a wonderful stay, location was beautiful and relaxing, very peaceful and quiet - perfect for a weekend get away!
Plenty of space for my pup to explore and use up all his energy. The amenities were great including the spacious bench in the camp kitchen! Would definitely recommend and/or come back

We stayed at Site number 3 and it was fantastic! A spacious shady area which was private and peaceful.
Was lovely to be visited daily by 2 beautiful dogs, who were super friendly.
Nice to be able to grab coffee & a bacon and egg roll for breakfast at the on Site coffee shop.
Also flush toilet and shower available.

We loved this spot. Lambert was willing to come down late to open up the shed for us even though we booked last minute, which was very nice. The shed and facilities were fantastic! Would highly recommend this place.

Great spot away from everything. Hut was great for some shelter with fans as it was 39deg during our stay. Unfortunately the river was a bit dirty to swim too long during our stay but would be awesome when the water is cleaner. Only issue we had, on about 5 occasions over the weekend we had cars stopping on the road next to the property and turn all their lights and off for a few minutes at a time, was a little creepy as there is no reason to be stopping. Overall had a fun time though

What a fantastic spot right by the river . We stayed here a few weeks ago for a birthday celebration, and had the place almost to ourselves .
Hosts were very friendly and nothing too much trouble .
Facilities a little basic , only 1 toilet and shower in a small porta cabin . Could do with a make over , however they were clean and that’s what hip camps all about.
If there were a few camping there , could see it being a bit of an issue .
Overall brilliant stay and perfect for our celebration. Definitely recommend .
