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. It is private and secluded, and with just one group staying at a time, you are guaranteed the space to yourselves.
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.
The Kulnura General Store and bottleshop is just 9km down the road for basic supplies.

We booked to stay camping at Peppertree Pony Camp for 2 nights but due to loving the peacefulness, the kindness of the hosts and the overall beauty of the farm we decided to stay an extra night. Honestly couldn’t recommend Peppertree enough, the hospitality was 10/10!

Loved every moment.
The hosts were so kind and helpful, we were having some issues with our caravan and they are so helpful and really went out of their way to help.
Their property is perfect with a trampoline for our kids and plenty of room to run around.
The kids loved the puppies, ponies and Ruby for a little push around while I cooked dinner
100% recommend.

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!

The kids loved being able to pay the horses and visit the puppies.
The toys and trampoline were also a hit - so much so they wanted to stay at the property rather than visit Taronga zoo!
Takes approx 1 hour to get into Sydney CBD and just over an hour to Bondi..

We had a good time and kids loved the horses and puppies. It was quiet and peaceful. We were a bit disappointed that there was no water/dam to swim in as photos indicate but we found somewhere not too far away (driving) to swim. Host communicated well and was accommodating, even though they were away while we were there. Overall a good place to stay.

Loved this camp. Such a peaceful area, right next to state forest and national parks made for a great day out, and easy to get back to camp. Proper flushing toilets were a highlight after a few days of travel roughing it haha.

We had such a great stay. Made a last minute booking on a super hot day, and Katie had a lovely shady spot for us and our cat. All the horses on the property were so friendly, and not remotely put off by said cat! It was kind of adorable watching them suss each other out. No other campers, and far enough away from the house so was very private. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic spot with plenty of privacy and time to enjoy nature. We had a cattle dog who's is reactive and were able to let him off leash during the day, he was tied up at night and left alone by Cath's dogs. Would recommend for anyone wanting to get away and spend some peaceful time in nature.

Great for an overnighter. Flat areas to park up and lots of room. Quiet too. No facilities but tidy and very easy to get in and out. Also easy to find. We’d certainly use it again.
