Brightwater sits beside Olney State Forest and Kuluwan Flora Reserve. It is a 50-acre farm with a lovely spring-fed dam, with our nearby campsite. The site contains van parking, an open pavilion, an open deck by the stream, a fire pit, and a dunny.

Please go straight ahead on Collins Ave and enter through the car entrance, NOT the truck entrance which is off to the right. If you come in the truck entrance I can't see you.
There are many beautiful walking and bike trails in the area. Lots of wildlife to meet, including water dragons, wild ducks, and pythons, to name a few. There is also nearby evidence of the original occupants, the Darkinjung people.
You are also welcome to bring a couple of horses! There's a safe paddock with a trough and nice trails in the area to explore.

We loved our stay overlooking the stunning lake, green hills and grazing horses! We loved that Sandy was so welcoming but also loved that we had so much space and peace to ourselves.
We sadly didn’t catch any bass this time but we will definitely be back to try our luck again soon!

We had a fantastic stay at Two Shores Holiday Village and would absolutely come back again.
It’s a smaller, quieter park which we actually really appreciated. While there isn’t a huge amount of structured activities for kids, the pool more than made up for it — it was beautiful, clean, and easily the highlight of our stay.
The amenities block was spotless and looked recently renovated, which made a big difference. Everything felt well cared for and maintained.
We were originally allocated a site that would’ve been a squeeze for our very large tent (8x6m), but the owners were incredibly helpful and moved us to Site 10 without any fuss. That site was perfect — spacious, easy to access, and ideal for a big setup.
Friendly management, great facilities, and a relaxing atmosphere. We’d happily recommend it to others and will definitely be back!

Small quiet park on the lake. Walking/cycle path past the front. Best if you are self contained as the amenities block although newly refurbished and clean, rarely had hot water.

Cath was welcoming and the property was great. I felt very tucked away on the site and was really comfortable sitting on the deck and by the fire. It was a nice drive out and the property was well signposted. It's a new favourite that I would definitely go back to.

Me and a friend did 2 nights here and loved it. Easy to get to and easy check in. Cath (and the dogs) met us on arrival. The dogs do greet you “enthusiastically” and jumped on the car which wasn’t great but they are sweet. The white dogs are guards dogs (let out at night) and take their role seriously on the farm so should not be approached. This is standard with all guard dogs and you shouldn’t let it put you off. Cath will explain when you arrive also.
We loved the big open space and variety of setups that the camp site brings. The open cabin is fantastic and provided much needed shelter from the storm! It got a bit hairy at points so glad we had that. It’s nice bring raised up looking across the camp.
The big fire pit was great with the grill in the corner so you can cook over coals and still have your main fire next to it. Huge water tank with washing up area and tap was also a great addition.
As per another comment, there are leeches but again, just make sure to wear long trousers tucked in and check yourself when you’re walking around camp or on the trails. Same for all forest camping. We didn’t feel like it was too much of an issue. You also have the deck to keep up off the ground if you want to.
The site is plenty big for a ground of people with options to pitch tents on grass, mud, sand, the deck or in the cabin itself which we did. There’s also a couple of flat spots for parking for rooftop tents.

This is our second time staying here in summer and it is just the most perfect campsite. It has it all - privacy, a beautiful healthy dam to swim in, plenty of shade from trees and the handy leanto for wet weather. There is tank water, tables and chair, a massive fire pit and plenty of fire wood.
We can’t fault Caths place!

The most beautifully manicured flat expansive grass we have ever stayed. Almost no flies or any bugs even though horses were next door and the dam was right at your campsite. It was so beautiful, peaceful and the perfect stop over given the proximity to the motorway. The only thing we would recommend is a sign for the camp so we know where to turn in from the road. There was no number and gps took us to the wrong driveway and we couldn’t find anywhere to turn around for a few kms (22ft caravan). We found it by looking closely at the map and cross referencing with a pin on Hipcamp but that’s different to the actual address. When you arrive the sign is so tiny it was hard to even read so would be super helpful for people pulling caravans on an 80km road to see where to pull in clearly. We would absolutely come back every time we travel north or south from there.

We had a wonderful stay at this campsite. The surroundings were peaceful, clean, and well maintained. The view was stunning. The facilities, including bathrooms and shared areas, were tidy and easy to access. The staff were friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. We loved being so close to nature and would happily return in the future.

We were greeted welcomingly by the host, Cath, and her friendly dogs. We were then shown to the camp site- it was quite private and very much in nature. It was quite warm the days we were there for, so we were glad the camp site was set in a shaded area to keep us cool. The sounds of birds and other wildlife were lovely to hear, especially at night with the frogs and insects. Our dog had a blast walking the trails nearby as well as swimming in the dam. Highly recommend. Just make sure to bring your insect repellent and you’re all set!

I solo camped here with my dog and we had the most perfect time. We played in the dam, followed the walking trails into the state forest from the camp site, sat around the fire, and watched and listened to the wildlife within the area.
This site is very well equip with tank water and tap set up, clean and new drop toilet, large sheltered area, established fire pit with cook top, wooden platform with tent anchors as well as a grassy patch to pitch a tent, and great little dam to swim and play in.
The hosts were great, their dogs are great as well, the ridgebacks were really friendly to my kelpie cross, which he was happy with.
Another plus is this is tucked away from the main house, and there are no other camping sites, so its really private and quiet.
Highly recommend this site, I'm sure I'll be back!
