Blue CornerStone Campsite – Oakville, Hawkesbury
Welcome to Blue CornerStone, a simple, private 5-acre property in Oakville, just 1 hour northwest of Sydney and only minutes from the historic town of Windsor.
This is not a large commercial campground – it’s our home, and we open it up to guests who enjoy the relaxed, down-to-earth feel of camping on private land. You’ll be sharing the property with us (we live in the house on-site), as well as our horses, pets, and plenty of local birdlife.
You can set up camp by the dam, choose from a powered or unpowered site, or book our freshly renovated motorhome for a cosy stay. There is a simple outdoor toilet available for guests to use.
What to expect:
• A peaceful spot away from the main road.
• Horses and dogs welcome (with paddocks, a tack room, and float parking).
• A dam to cool off in.
• Open spaces to relax and enjoy the slower pace.
• Fire pits and barbecues are allowed with sensible use.
Nearby highlights:
• Lynwood Golf & Country Club (woodfired pizzas!) – 5 mins walk.
• Oakville Harvest – at the other end of the road.
• Scheyville National Park – 3km (riding trails, picnic spots, history).
• The Hawkesbury River, Pioneer Village, Cattai National Park, Wisemans Ferry, Windsor town centre, and more are all within easy reach.
If you’re looking for a simple, down-to-earth camping spot where you can slow down, connect with nature, and enjoy the Hawkesbury region, Blue CornerStone is a welcoming little corner to call your own

(238)
37km from Katoomba · 4 sites · Tents, RVs
Welcome to this remote piece of paradise! Rhapsody is located in Gingkin,, which is not far from Oberon NSW, about 3 hours west of Sydney.
Campsites are hidden in a remote valley direct frontage to the pristine Hollanders River, adjoining the Kanangra-Boyd National Park. There are two private campsites on grassy river flats surrounded by eucalyptus forest. The sites are very secluded so you will see lots of wildlife and you're guaranteed not to see any other people! Only one group can stay at each campsite and campsites are on different parts of the river so privacy is guaranteed.
In dry conditions 2WD is fine for Wallaby flat but in wet weather, 4WD is required. Platypus flat is 4wd only. You can always park at the top of the hill and walk down first if you're not sure.
Dog friendly. Campfires permitted in a designated area when restrictions aren't in place. Gather your own wood from fallen timber on the way in or BYO wood. Not much firewood available on site. Both campsites can get quite cool as they are low in the valley.
This is a wild and remote area. Guided remote bushwalks also available for those who are fit and adventurous.
Both campsites have a pit toilets, cold shower, spring water on tap, picnic tables.. Water is sourced from a distant spring in the mountain and is gravity fed to the site by above ground pipe which heats the water during the day.
There is a small area where you can get Telstra mobile reception at the cattle grid on the way into the property, but very limited mobile reception in this area. If you are on Optus or other networks you won't get any reception. There is no mobile reception at camp - perfect for disconnecting and reconnecting with nature!

So quiet and peaceful. A great place to disconnect from technology and read and rest.
The river was so clear and clean perfect for a quick paddle or to just gaze at in the hammock.

We had a wonderful 2-night stay at Wallaby Flat and highly recommend it. If you want a spot that is truly secluded, private, and beautiful, this is it. The property is bordered by Kanangra-Boyd National Park, making it feel incredibly peaceful.
The river is very nice and was warm enough to soak in - the perfect way to cool down in the afternoon heat. While the river wasn’t as deep as usual during our stay, there were still spots deep enough to swim in. Hiking trails are available nearby, though we spent most of our time relaxing. There is also plenty of shade to help avoid the direct sun.
We spotted trout swimming by, and while we didn’t see the reclusive platypus or wombat, we saw many curious wallabies, birds, and rabbits.
For future campers: be sure to download offline maps before heading out, as there is no reception nearby. Danny’s directions and maps are excellent, but try to arrive during daylight to make finding the site easier.
Danny was an exceptional host - extremely friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the land and local wildlife. We had an outstanding time and are already looking forward to visiting again.
Overall: 5 out of 5.

This was a great property for those who want a remote camping feel! The facility was as described, and it was nice to have access to a toilet/shower. David came to introduce himself and told us about the property and the not infrequent koala sightings! While we didn’t see any during our stay, we did have a great time.

Danny’s place was absolutely incredible — the perfect combination of peaceful nature, fresh mountain air, and genuine hospitality. From the moment we arrived, Danny made us feel welcome and well-looked-after. The land is stunning, quiet, and full of beautiful spots to explore and relax.
We came for a short getaway and left completely recharged. The scenery, the clean fresh water, the tranquillity of the bush, and the feeling of privacy made our stay unforgettable. Danny was always helpful, answered all our questions, and guided us with everything we needed. You can truly feel how much care and effort he puts into maintaining such a unique place.
Whether you want fishing, nature, walking, or just switching off from the world — this place is perfect. We are already planning to come back. Thank you, Danny, for creating such a special experience for your guests.

Private and secluded camp spot all to ourselves. River front only a few meters down an embankment. Crystal clear flowing water, basic drop toilet and shower. Camp area fit our group of 12 ppl easily. A beautiful spot to camp and unwind. Host Danny was very helpful and responded to messages quickly, provided detailed map instructions which were easy to follow.
