Originally settled in 1889 "Bobs Grant" this lovely property and the surrounding land was originally used for farming but is now mostly turf farms.
Enjoy our little getaway down by the Hawkesbury River only 10 minutes from historic Windsor. A beautiful river shack for your use exclusively, including fire pit with direct access to the Hawkesbury river.
Destroyed in the March and July 2022 floods, we have now re-built and are loving welcoming back our guests.
Bring your caravans, tent or swag - all are welcome! Unfortunately, boats are not.
Relax and enjoy the serenity whilst being only 1 hour from Sydney.
We offer the site to one group only, a maximum of 20 guests. However note, we are not a place for rowdy groups and parties. Groups are welcome here to enjoy the time with their family and friends, play a little music and relax by the river. The river can get busy (which is great after the floods as it has been dead for so long) and so can the road across the river but if you are enjoying your family and friends you won't even notice!
We have one basic toilet, and one river water shower available too! Please bring your own drinking water.
You can bring your dogs, but they must be on a leash at all times. We have three little puppies that love to roam their property. We lock them up sometimes but most of the time they are just running around having fun. Minimum of 2 dogs per booking and they must be noted on the booking.
Fires are only permitted when allowed, in the designated areas only.

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)

Absolutely loved this site. The shack, toilet and shower made this glamping for us. Having easy access to the Hawksbury water on a scorching day was pure bliss. Enjoying the long weekend with our dogs as well was the cherry on the top. Trevor and Megan were so easy to deal with.

We loved our stay here! Lovely hosts, a peaceful countryside setting, and being surrounded by the farm animals made it such a special experience. Close enough to town for convenience, but still felt remote and relaxing. We’d definitely stay again and highly recommend it for a quiet farm getaway.

We had a truly wonderful barbecue and camping experience here. At night, we could see the Milky Way, which was absolutely stunning. Each campsite is very spacious and well separated, giving everyone a real sense of privacy in the forest.
The campground has toilets and provides plenty of water, which made the stay very comfortable. One important thing to note is that there is no mobile signal starting quite far from the campsite. It’s a good idea to keep two navigation apps running. We accidentally closed one near the end and couldn’t reconnect, and even with just one junction left, it was hard to know which turn to take. We took a wrong road and eventually found our way after some trouble.
Despite that small challenge, it turned into a beautiful and memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys nature, stargazing, and a peaceful forest setting.

We loved camping at Mandalong Manor! Our site was well secluded from other campers. Jim drove down 20L water jerries each day. We saw many kangaroos and birds and they did not raid our site. We had a nice view from our site. Jim was welcoming and helpful and saved us from our car trouble. Jim's neighbours were really nice. Jim has a cool collection of old Land Rovers. Overall great experience would reccomend!

Rained a lot during our stay, and we still had a great time. The sheltered fireplace was amazing, and the fairy lights created a warm and homely space.
The fishing was fun. Mostly small bream, but we did manage to land and release a legally sized bream.
There was constant river traffic and road noise from across the river, but don't let that deter you from booking this top spot.
Megan and Trevor were both very responsive, and were excellent hosts. Also, their friendly, super cute sausage pups came to visit regularly - a welcomed bonus.

Katie was an excellent host. We camped near the hen house with the horses nearby. Shower and toilet were great and we were able to power the trailer for some aircon on the hot days we had while there. The kids loved feeding the horses and getting the fresh eggs in the morning.

We stayed one night here while travelling through Sydney on our way to Queensland and the location was perfect for an overnight stop. The main powered site is quite close to the host’s house, but we were offered the option to camp near the stables instead, which suited us much better as we prefer to be a bit more spread out. That area still had power and felt more private.
Our spot was flat, a good size, and easily accommodated two caravans. It’s a working horse property, so there is a bit of equipment and “horse stuff” around, and the entrance is a little off-putting at first as it looks more like a yard full of vehicles than a campsite. That said, once set up it was quiet and worked really well for a one-night stay.
The kids absolutely loved visiting the horses and meeting the very friendly stable cat, which was a big highlight. The host was welcoming and friendly, and overall it was a convenient, quiet stopover that did exactly what we needed it to do.

The best dog-friendly caravan sites near Glenworth Valley guide
Where to go
Popran National Park
A short drive from Glenworth Valley, the Popran National Park is a great day-trip destination for campers in the area as there are no campsites within the park itself. Visitors can hike, mountain bike, kayak, fish, ride horses, and spot birds and animals. The park also protects a number of Aboriginal sites and there’s a picnic area. Most roads to the park require a four-wheel-drive vehicle.
Brisbane Water National Park
Just southeast of Glenworth Valley, the Brisbane Water National Park offers walks, cycling, and fishing, and has some ancient Aboriginal rock art sites. There’s a small, basic bush tent site within the park or visitors can stay at Glenworth Valley or nearby coastal campsites at Umina or Gosford and make day trips into the park. Road access into this park does not require a four-wheel-drive vehicle so this is a good option for casual visits.
Dharug National Park
West of Glenworth Valley, on the other side of Mangrove Creek (a tributary of the Hawkesbury River), the large Dharug National Park contains the UNESCO-listed Old Great North Road hike. There are also other hiking and cycling routes and two campsites. The Ten Mile Hollow Campground is small and free to stay at (although bookings are required), while the Mill Creek Campground is larger and has more facilities, and fees apply.
When to go
Spring and autumn are the best times to visit the Glenworth Valley area for hiking, biking, kayaking, and horse-riding adventures. The weather is most comfortable then. Summers are hot and the risk from bushfires is high, but this is a good season if you want to visit the nearby beaches of the Central Coast. Winters are mild but often wet, and glamping or staying in a cabin or cottage would be most comfortable.
