Escape the Hustle in Nellies Glen – Megalong Valley
Before you book: We accommodate car campers and hikers.
→ Car camping bookings are limited to ensure guests enjoy a quiet stay without being impacted by others, and to reduce the impact on our roads and environment. Please ensure your vehicle has sufficient clearance for off-road access.
→ Hikers are almost always welcome. Hiking sites are for those walking the Six Foot Track from Katoomba or Jenolan Caves.
Nellies Glen is a stop along the Six Foot Track, spanning the grassy flats of Megalong Creek that the locals (wombats) call home. This private campground is ready for your next getaway.
Right among the Aussie scrub and surrounded by the escarpments of Narrowneck and Ngula Bulgarabang, you'll feel a million miles away — but you’re not. A 1.5-hour walk from Katoomba along the Six Foot Track, or a half-hour trip from Blackheath, will land you at this stunning spot in the Megalong Valley.
Explore the Six Foot Track, Devil’s Hole, or other Narrowneck passes on foot, and find your own special slice of Megalong Creek for a refreshing dip. Sling up a hammock, watch the sunset over the escarpment, and see the stars fill the sky.
If you’ve driven into the valley, be sure to check out the local wineries, restaurants, and tearooms.
This laid-back property is all about privacy — allowing you to connect with your surroundings and respect the bush while having a great time.
We’re a family-friendly property and love seeing kids and dogs running around — but we’re not the place for loud music or late-night parties.
Exclusivity can be arranged for organisations such as schools, community groups, workshops, or low-key weddings. Otherwise, please note that we or other campers may be present in other areas of the property.

The Hartley Vale Garlic Farm was established in 2018 as an organic garlic farm now owned by James and Michelle and their two children. The farm features a hempcrete building named 'The Stinking Rose' used for drying and curing garlic, that also acts as a big room for garlic feasts during planting (March, April and May each year). The building also houses toilet and shower facilities for guests when camping on site. On some evenings, the sky puts on a real show of golden sun rays with pink, purple and blue clouds while swallows flit across the garden beds catching moths. Our guests like to sit around their campfires watching the spectacular show while kids and dogs run around without the burden of leashes or noise of city traffic.

Please note that Hipcamp has increased my fees by 100%. This is on top of whatever they charge you. So contact me for special camping packages that include other optional extras that may save us money for larger groups.
Also please note that due the closure of the Great Western Highway there is currently an increase in traffic volume going past our property. Our usually quite nights are not as quiet. The campers I have had since this has happened did not seem to be too impacted by it, but if you are wanting complete quietness then maybe wait until the Highway is re-opened.
Our property is located in the Blue Mountains, nestled right in the middle of the national park and all that the Blue Mountains bush has to offer. Gums, ferns, fresh air and swimming holes.
I only allow one group to camp at any one time per site. Other groups will be well away from you. However the dam is available for everyone to use. I adjust each booking with each group depending on size of the group and time of year. I also hold large events so will book out the entire site for large groups.
Just a short drive from Sydney (1 ½ hours from Parramatta) but a world away with its ancient forests and meandering pathways. All photos are from the site or within a 2km walk of the camping site in National Park or reserve. Please note that the canyon photos are from a spot that is very difficult to get to.
I welcome self-contained campers with your own camping toilet/shower, and drinking water. However there are facilities on site for smaller groups at an extra cost.
The property offers a number of sites that can accommodate various group numbers. Please message me if you're interested in booking one or more listings for your special get together.
Dogs are welcome as long as they are friendly, but no cats please. Also please be aware that we are surrounded by nature and part of nature are the snakes and ticks.
- we need to keep this environment for the wildlife. Please take all your belongings and rubbish with you when you leave. Leave it better than as you found it.
Please be aware that due to our proximity to the road and rail that at times you will hear some traffic noise. But most times it is very quiet except for the frogs.

The site was great, could not see any of the other sites from our camp, was very private. The actual camp was quite level and we managed to fit a medium and a small caravan on the level ground. There is a firepit and a table there.
The paddock we were on was also quite large allowing the dogs to run around a bit.
Thank you for the great stay.

A perfect disconnect in the Megalong Valley ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Took my daughters and our dog for a short trip to Nellie's Glen and it delivered exactly what was promised on Hipcamp. Four campsites on the property, and we were lucky enough to have just one neighbour on night one (who we never saw or heard) and the whole place to ourselves on night two — bliss.
The creek is accessible from all sites and is a highlight, along with a tree swing the kids absolutely loved. Each site has its own fire pit with plenty of wood available, which is perfect for cooler nights in the valley.
A few practical notes for future campers: a 4WD is recommended — it's a long dirt track with a small creek crossing to reach the property, though nothing too serious. Bring your own drinking water, and there's a camp toilet on septic available on-site, just as the listing states.
Huge thanks to Mike for a wonderful stay. We'll definitely be back.
Highly recommend for anyone wanting to truly switch off.

What a fantastic place for kids! We loved our time glamping at Jila - lovely tents, comfy beds, great amenities. The team went the extra mile setting up the water slide for the kids, we had huge games of soccer on the freshly mown soccer pitch, the river was idyllic and provided hours or adventuring time in nature. Definitely take bikes, kids rode around constantly. The bbq’s and hob were handy, the showers hot, water stopped running at 1 point and the team immediately came and fixed it up. Festoon lights at night were pretty as a picture. It was all just fantastic. Can’t fault the place.

One of the most beautiful campsites you could hope for.
Can’t recommend highly enough.
Stars aplenty, a cool creek dip to jump start the day, against a sublime mountain backdrop - what more could you want???

The campsite was amazing, it was a lovely secluded place and we saw a bunch of cute wildlife. There were fire pits with plenty of firewood and cold freshwater from the creek. Also it is very conveniently placed along the six foot track and near the devil’s hole track. Also Mike, the host was so lovely. He gave great recommendations and helped us a ton, thanks Mike!

Great location and views. Seeing kangaroos was lovely. However communication with host could have been better. Please note their website is out of date and their offers on the site are mostly not available eg. Horse riding.

It is off the beaten track, but well worth it. The scenery to get there and on the property itself is beautiful. The instructions to get there were easy to follow. Good size area for our dog to relax on. A hidden gem.

A great camp close to Sydney. It is lovely and private, although there is not a lot of flat area without overhead branches which, with a tent, can be a little concerning. Bathrooms did not have toilet paper for 1 day/ 2 nights but otherwise great spot. This is our second time visiting.
