Great area to camp and relax. We were there over NY and were welcomed by the regulars to join in the family-friendly festivities. We’d stay again!

We were very pleasantly surprised with our stay. A beautiful spot by the river that is very well maintained sites and the amenities were spotless and well located. There is also a kiosk on site that sells ice, food and coffee and it is dog friendly .
We spent a really lovely couple of days catching up with a mate and are already planning a return visit
Highly recommend for a really good fuss free place to camp

Had an absolutely amazing time! It was so beautiful and peaceful, and my family had an absolute ball on the water.
Our site had ample shade to sit under during the hot days, the amenities were well kept and clean. Our host was incredibly friendly and such a pleasure.
We’ll definitely be back to create more memories!

I really enjoyed camping at NSW Ski Gardens. Christine made us feel welcomed and responded back and communciated promptly on the Hipcamp app. Beautiful camping spot along the Hawkesbury River. The amenities and showers were really clean. The roads were a bit windy getting there but it would worth the drive. The campsite is also close to a petrol and café which is convenient. Would definitely come back! Thank you Christine 😊

Easy site selection options. Friendly manager on site. No water or power to sites so plan accordingly. Great views across the river. Stunning location. Small shop on site. Try to avoid camping next to school groups as they are guaranteed to be noisy as I found out. Would happily book here again.

Such a great campsite, we stayed with our dogs on one of the premium waterfront sites and it was perfect. There was a private sheltered area with a bbq, chairs & table & fire pit. Toilets & showers were super clean too. We also went into town and had a great breakfast at heritage valley cafe which was also dog friendly. 10/10 we will be back!
