Weekend Trip to Warm Corner

We had such a wonderful experience. We were so pleasantly surprised when we arrived to see the shed with everything you could need with games for the kids too. It rained and had the cover to park under so we didn’t get anything wet too. Very clean with an excellent shower. Our toddlers loved seeing lots of kangaroos hopping close by. Couldn’t recommend higher!

3 nights at Glenroy Cottages and Camping

Lovely spot for camping by the river. Stones and fallen trees for the kids to explore

Weekend Trip to Wedderburn Hideaway

We had a wonderful stay! The owner was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made us feel very welcome. The campsite was well spaced out from our neighbors, allowing us to really enjoy private family time. We were also lucky enough to spot a wild koala right at the campground, which was such a special experience. It became a truly memorable family trip for us. We would love to come back again!

1 night at Glenroy Cottages and Camping

Great location kids loved camping by the river, great host will be returning again

2 nights at Warm Corner

What a great location! It’s quiet and open but not far from supermarkets or great restaurants! The shed is an amazing facility which has a kitchen, fridge, and more, as well as a new bathroom. Made our camping trip a luxury, and also helped keep us dry when the torrential rains came through. Deb and Lambert were extremely welcoming hosts too!

2 nights at Wedderburn Hideaway

Loved our stay and will be back. Both Rob & Kaityn were fantastic hosts and made us feel very welcome. This will be our regular stopover for our trips to Melbourne from Brisbane.

1 night at Glenroy Cottages and Camping

Loved it. Peaceful, safe for two girls camping. Being able to set up next to the river was very special.

3 nights at K2 River Island Nature Retreat

The staff were super helpful. The facilities clean and well managed. The campground by the river is peaceful and beautiful. The water so refreshing and calming. We enjoyed exploring the area.

1 night at Warm Corner

Great spot for a night stay to break up our trip home. Would be awesome for a weekend with a group of friends. Great facilities that look brand new and very clean. Loved the use of the fire pit while watching planes fly into Sydney. Only negative is the smell if the wind is blowing the wrong way from the treatment plant next door.

1 night at K2 River Island Nature Retreat

Warm friendly host, there was an accidental double booking and the host was very accommodating

Weekend Trip to Canoelands Orchard Camping

We (family of 4) had a great time at Canoelands, our boys loved exploring the orchard and feeding the animals. Fantastic large, level sites. Great location being just an hour from Sydney. We stayed Easter long weekend and had no issues with traffic. Clear skies at night that are great for star Gazing. Jaime and Nathan were very friendly and helpful.. will definitely be back again for a weekend.

Weekend Trip to Warm Corner

Mum and 2 young kids. We had such an awesome Easter weekend camping at warm corner. We were greeted at the property by Lambert who was very accommodating. We were given the option to camp up top or down at the river and we chose the river to afford more privacy. Lambert even came down to help me in the middle of the night to turn the gas on for me which was tightened too much. There was plenty of firewood for us to make a fire. The whole booking process was very smooth, prompt replies and the reviews really do speak to their fabulous service. The amenities were new and very clean, my kids loved the rec room. The air hockey and table tennis where a big hit with the kids, as was the cows, horses and kangaroos. We definitely will be coming back!

Weekend Trip to Canoelands Orchard Camping

Our camping experience was absolutely wonderful! From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully planned to ensure a peaceful and memorable getaway. There are plenty of activities to keep us entertained- fruit picking, animal feeding, hiking... It was the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. If you’re looking for a camping experience that’s well-organized, peaceful, and filled with good vibes, I couldn’t recommend this enough.

Weekend Trip to Canoelands Orchard Camping

We had such a great Easter! Huge camp sites, fruit picking, tractor rides, animal feeding. 20min drive to wisemans ferry for some swimming, and 10min drive to "Australia's best pie" (confirmed)! We have camped here twice now, and will defintely be back!

Weekend Trip to Canoelands Orchard Camping

We had an amazing Easter weekend camping at Canoeland Orchard! Jaime was incredibly warm and welcoming. The orchard was a picturesque setting with lots of fruit if you choose to do that as an activity. The kids loved feeding the animals each morning. The campsite was clean, cozy, and well-maintained. We can’t wait to come back!

Weekend Trip to Canoelands Orchard Camping

Overall, it was a great experience for us as newbies to camping. BYO toilet and shower would be ideal as it’s a bit of a walk. Our 2 year old son enjoyed the tractor ride and kept asking for more. Animal feeding was also his favourite. There’s so much to do but still quiet and peaceful at night.

Weekend Trip to Canoelands Orchard Camping

We loved our Easter stay at Canoelands Orchards. The sites are large and well maintained (grass), with a firepit on each site. Firewood can be purchased and delivered to site. There’s a cafe and farm shop onsite open daily. Plus daily fruit picking and animal feeding, there was also tractor rides when we were there! Kids had a ball!! No electricity or water on site. Amenities are basic but clean. The owners are wonderful, kind and responsive. They even fixed my son’s bike when he had a fall, and bought us an ice pack to camp! The sunsets and sunrises amongst the vines were amazing, a great long weekend off grid in nature. Close to wisemans ferry for shops, pub and fishing! Highly recommend, we will be back.

Weekend Trip to Canoelands Orchard Camping

We stayed at Site 6 in the Orchard Campground for 3 nights over the Easter break and had an amazing time! The campsite was spacious with very large plots, giving us plenty of room to set up our gear and still have space to relax and explore. One of the highlights was having the on-site café—perfect for that much-needed morning coffee before starting the day. Our 6-year-old absolutely loved feeding the farm animals and riding in the tractors around the property. There was always something to keep her entertained! The campground has clean toilets and showers, which made the stay really comfortable. And at night, the sky is something else—you can see a blanket of stars and even spot satellites drifting across the sky. It was a peaceful and memorable experience. Being located at Canoelands Orchard, there’s also the chance to pick fresh seasonal fruit, enjoy delicious house-made jams and relishes, and even grab a cider or fresh juice from the farm shop. The friendly staff made us feel welcome, and the relaxed farm atmosphere was a great escape from the city. Highly recommend this spot for families or anyone wanting to unwind in a beautiful, rural setting!

1 night at Glenroy Cottages and Camping

Perfect Spot right next a a gorgeous river. I only had a 1 night stay planned at this location next time I will definitely stay longer.
