Weekend Trip to Halifax Hill

Great little spot near St Albans, couple minutes drive. Arrived after dark, found everything easily. Great communication and accommodating host, can wholeheartedly recommend!

Weekend Trip to "DeView" Colo River Valley Camping

DeView Colo River is the perfect spot for an easy, relaxing camping trip. Access is simple, the campsites are spacious, and the natural surrounds are beautiful and peaceful. The on-site bathrooms and washing facilities are clean and well-maintained, making it a great choice for families, solo campers, and first-timers. Plus, it’s pet-friendly — a big bonus if you’re bringing furry friends along! Yara is a wonderful host and she provided up to date information. Made everything easy!

Weekend Trip to Cranky Rock Hunter Valley

It was a beautiful location, just perfect for a peaceful getaway. Was not crowded which was the best thing and relaxing. View was mind blowing and very easy to get there if you follow instructions.

Weekend Trip to Cranky Rock Hunter Valley

Would absolutely recommend for solo travelers and families. There are cows on the property that come and say hello. The views are incredible, especially if you wake up early to see the sunrise above the trees. The property is enough off the main road that you don’t see anyone or hear cars but still close to town that you can pop in for a coffee or explore. The camp site is very big so that you and other campers aren’t right next to each other. Will definitely be back! Can’t recommend enough!

3 nights at "DeView" Colo River Valley Camping

Just returned from a wonderful experience at De View! Even though the weather was far from kind on our day of departure, or family had a memorable time. The place was beautiful. Morning mist made the valley take on a mysterious property. The shallow Colo River was fantastic for kids and overgrown kids. Floating down the river on a float was my wife's favorite part of the trip. The small things were where you could see that the host has poured heart into creating a welcoming experience. The whole area was covered in clean grass, no rocks nor stones to poke at your feet as you walk along barefooted. Laminated maps and signs help you find where you are supposed to be. And slow closing doors on all toilets and showers made sure you are not shocked at night by someone else's urgent business. 😝 The location was easy to find and took us just 1.5 hours to get home to Sydney after breaking camp which was great. Might even consider for shorter getaways next time. 👍🏽

Weekend Trip to Kurrajong Trails & Cottages

Incredible place, super clean toilets and commodities, view is beautiful, host was very lovely, We actually booked the wrong dates by mistake and she still found a place for us which she didn’t have to do, thanks again for the lovely stay !!

2 nights at Mt Nellinda Campsite

We had an awesome stay! Joe was super friendly and explained everything when we arrived. We stayed at campsite 6 it’s secluded on top of the mountain with amazing views over the valley. You’ll need a 4WD to get there, but it’s totally worth it. We’ll definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Cranky Rock Hunter Valley

For a one night stay the camping grounds were accomodating with amenities, location from Syd and peace and quiet. Was also woken up from a herd of cows, super fun. Highly recommend!!

Weekend Trip to Hunter Valley Hill Top Lovedale

Good camping site with nice scenic views. Checking in and out was easy and would recommend

Weekend Trip to Mt Nellinda Campsite

Loved it, but electricity and toilet on all sites would be game changing...

2 nights at "DeView" Colo River Valley Camping

Great spot by the river for me to introduce my 3 kids to camping. They had a great time kayaking and swimming in the river and they really loved having a camp fire. At other times, they played on the rope swing, threw a frisby and kicked a soccer ball in the wide open space. Not once did they ask for their devices! The misty mornings were a beautiful start to the day. I can't wait to go back!

3 nights at "DeView" Colo River Valley Camping

We really enjoyed our time camping on Yara's land. It's got great camping spots that are spacious, flat and well maintained. Lovely surroundings with the river just a short walk away. The amenities block has flushable toilets, showers and a sink for washing, which was super helpful and they were pretty clean. Yara is also very friendly and we really appreciated the helpful information and communication so we were well prepared. She would come by the site every day to check in on the campers and the facilities, so it was easy to ask questions if we needed to. We loved staying here and we would definitely do it again!

2 nights at "DeView" Colo River Valley Camping

One of my favourite camping sites. We always have good time when camping here. I can also bring my dog as well, which is a huge plus. The host is lovely, and campers here are also lovely as well. I recommend this place to anyone who's looking to have a great time in camping!

3 nights at "DeView" Colo River Valley Camping

Yara was an excellent host. Property was perfect - footsteps from the Colo River, firewood, sink area to clean up dishes and a generous fire pit. Thank you, Yara!

Yara is an excellent personalised host. Thanks for a great stay!

1 night at TJ’s 4B Park & Camping + Hiking

We loved it here, only stayed one night but it was great. The directions were simple, the roads were a bit bumpy though as it’s a dirt track. Which we did not mind. Plenty of spots available and it’s so quiet and beautiful. Would definitely camp here again!

2 nights at Mt Nellinda Campsite

Joe was so welcoming when we arrived, the property is absolutely beautiful! Highly recommend, we will definitely visit again :)

5 nights at Kurrajong Trails & Cottages

Lovely area, amazing hospitality, we really enjoyed our stay. Kids had a ball in the creek and using the kayaks and canoes. Although there was plenty of space, if it was more maintained ie the grass was much shorter there would be much more usable space for camping to accomodate more people but it was ok while we were there as it wasn’t too full 😊

1 night at TJ’s 4B Park & Camping + Hiking

Amazing property, we loved our stay in this beautiful Aussie bush. Host was very kind, helpful and friendly.

2 nights at Mt Nellinda Campsite

We loved staying at Mt Nellinda, we had so much space and since other campers apparently took our spot, Joe gave us a different really pretty spot on our own. While we chose to stay over a busy Easter weekend, there were enough facilities and it was very peaceful and beautiful. Joe was very responsive and took good care of the place.
