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!

Weekend Trip to Rhapsody

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.

We loved camping at Wallaby Flat! The location is beautiful. Lovely shallow creek adjacent to the campground, with some deeper swimming spots nearby. Great for a large group - we had around 20 people - and there was still lots of space for cricket & frisbee :) Appreciated the toilet and sink facilities too - just made it all very easy. We loved our long weekend getaway, and will be back! Thanks Danny!

First official site we had power for our trip, was a brilliant stay with clean and perfectly functioning amenities. Close to town and perfect distance to get up to all sorts of activities. Sadly, we missed the snow by a week.

What a stunning place to camp! It was a great place to enjoy nature and wildlife. The road in is a little rough, which worried some in our group, but even after 2 days of rain, they were fine getting out. It felt lovely and remote, but was not too far from Oberon when we wanted to go out. Danny was an awesome host, very thoughtful and helpful. Would highly recommend!

Couldn’t recommend Wallaby flat enough. Very secluded, felt like the last people left on earth. Large, flat grassy area right on the bank of Hollanders River complete with resident wombat and so many native birds. Kanangra Boyd NP is just across the river. Drop toilets, showers and fire pit, this place has it all. Danny was super friendly and helpful, we’ll be back to this pace for sure.

The site was perfectly set up campers who are beginners or disorganised. The facilities provided were clean and in excellent conditions. The hosts were very friendly and responsive to our questions. Most importantly they were super helpful when our tires went flat. They went out of their way to provide us with the correct tools and directions to places to get tires fixed etc. very friendly and approachable. Highly recommend this place.
