Otford is a historic village in a valley between Sydney and Wollongong, and bounded by the Pacific ocean. Our private acreage backs onto the southern tip of the Royal National Park, so the outlook from the campsite is all leafy trees.

We are well-behaved-dog-friendly BUT you must let us know in advance.
Our access track to the camping sites has been repaired with a deep layer of asphalt but still best suited to 4WD.

We had a great time camping at Dharawal, highlights were the pizza oven, use of the cabin with table tennis, being only us, and the location: very close to Jingga pool track, mountain bike tracks and shop if needed, it’s a fantastic place and would highly recommended for a few days break.

We had a great weekend staying at Dharawal Camp. The camp has plenty of flat ground for tents, easy parking for campervans, and a spacious cabin with running water, some basic supplies and a ping pong table to entertain little ones. Jinnga waterhold nearby was beautiful and really worth the walk. We also had the pleasure of learning about David's art practice with his add-on art lesson, and would highly recommend this to others.

Lisa and Lance are the perfect hosts and have the perfect property for getting away. We loved our time there. Private and secluded. Fire pits supplied and you feel like you’re completely hidden away. !!Secret Valley!! Only a short drive to some amazing beaches. They have sheep that love to chat and 2 beautiful horses to pat. We will be back!!

We spent a week at Lisa's hipcamp and it was excellent! Lisa was very communicative and helpful, particularly with directions for finding it the first time and showing us to site. The land is lovely, deep in the state forest with nothing to hear but birds and the occasional sheep. Sites are very far apart and private.
We went in a 21.6ft van - we made it but the track into the property and out can get very tight so would not recommend taking anything bigger, or even the same size if you're not super confident yet with your van.

Awesome campsite tucked away 30 mins from Jervis Bay. Very well maintained, the hosts Lisa and Lance are super welcoming and friendly, and were waiting for us when we arrived late at night. Would recommend travelling there in daylight as the road can be tricky to navigate and there is a shallow creek you have to cross, but instructions given to us were very clear. The peace and quiet this place provides is something else.
