Weekend Trip to Bonnie Doon at Bell

A great place to go camping with a great host. Plenty of options for things to do on the property and in the area within a short drive

3 nights at Peronne Adventure Camping

What a beautiful Hipcamp. Very peaceful by a little creek. Beautiful views from the campsite and even better on the walks. Michael supplies firewood which is a bonus. Nothing beats sitting around the campfire and admiring the stars. Great Hipcamp and would definitely be back. Michael is a great host! Thanks for having us!

Weekend Trip to Bonnie Doon at Bell

Great piece of land with amazing views, campers so well spaced out that you think you are there on your own. Matt is great and very helpful. Plenty of wood lying around for a fire and the activities on the dam are great for kids. Thanks Matt

I absolutely loved my stay here. Matthew is such a great host, he helped us get down to the cliffs for sunset and watch someone tight rope walk which was super cool!! Really beautiful environment and lovely land. Would defs recommend!

Beautiful campsite, nice and private. Our families had a lot of fun just relaxing and playing here. Danny was a great host, helpful and looked after us well. We'll be back!

Weekend Trip to Kurrajong Trails & Cottages

Incredible place, super clean toilets and commodities, view is beautiful, host was very lovely, We actually booked the wrong dates by mistake and she still found a place for us which she didn’t have to do, thanks again for the lovely stay !!

2 nights at Bonnie Doon at Bell

We loved our stay here. The views are fantastic. Lots of walking tracks and the camping grounds were great.

Matt is a great host, was very accomodating and changed our spot to suit the rainy weather. Bonnie Doon has plenty to see and do, it’s a big property. A dip in the chilly dam was a highlight!

2 nights at Peronne Adventure Camping

Perfect camping spot. Flat ground on the creek with total privacy being only 1 site. Real camping with no amenities but that’s what we love. Michael is a great bloke and host. Supplied firewood was great. Took 2 large carp from the creek and will be back for some of the rainbow trout fingerlings we saw. Didn’t quite make my retirement with the gold panning - maybe next time. Hopefully see some good rain very soon - desperately needed. We’ll be back.

A beautiful stream all to yourself with a deep swimming hole within walking distance. Private camp site at Wallaby Flat. Danny the host also considerate of our needs and comfort.

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!

5 nights at Kurrajong Trails & Cottages

Lovely area, amazing hospitality, we really enjoyed our stay. Kids had a ball in the creek and using the kayaks and canoes. Although there was plenty of space, if it was more maintained ie the grass was much shorter there would be much more usable space for camping to accomodate more people but it was ok while we were there as it wasn’t too full 😊

Excellent camp set up. Fire pit was awesome, you can purchase wood from Matt and we also had access to the best outdoor shower! It was definitely a highlight. Beautiful bush walks from the site, Matt offers guided bush walks amd the kids had so much fun using the kayaks and swimming in the dam. Come with everything you need and you can just kick back and enjoy the beautiful bush. Highly recommended!

Weekend Trip to Bonnie Doon at Bell

We had a fabulous Easter group camp at North Camp. There was loads of space to spread out and we had our own communal fire pit area. The dam and climbing wall were a big hit and the water was warm enough for swimming, even in late April. There were great walks nearby and we were able to avoid the crazy Blue Mountains Easter crowds. Matt was very welcoming and a lovely host. Highly recommended.

Great private location. Kids had a great time playing along the river all day. Dog friendly which was great! Extras such as a table, shower and toilet was great. Thank you

Platapus Flat was a fantastic location for our annual Easter Camping trip. Three families of four, kids ages ranging from 8 - 13. The location is spectacular, the creek could have been made by AI it is so beautiful. We loved the fact that the campfire looks over the creek so while the kids played, we could sit by the fire with a full view. The driveway into the campsite, particularly the last 400m is definitely 4WD only. Danny is a friendly and helpful host and I would not hesitate to recommend this spot.

Weekend Trip to Bonnie Doon at Bell

Thanks Matt for a lovely stay! We stayed at The Dam site and it was perfect for a large group, we had lots of our own space and a fire pit. The outdoor shower was amazing and we made full use of the dam. Amazing sunsets and the best way to relax and recharge! Thanks again for having us, we will be back!

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.

Rhapsody is in a beautiful part of the world! Bordered by national park, it is idyllic for camping. It means you can sit by the fire and look across the shallow river and enjoy everything nature has to offer. The bird life is amazing. Danny was a super helpful host when we got in a little bit of car/caravan trouble. The facilities are clean, basic but definitely fine. The hill into the valley is steep and not for the faint hearted! Next time we will stay at the other site on the property, it’s flatter and captures more of the winter sun. Will definitely come back with friends at another time. Love that our dogs could be off lead the whole time too.

Amazing campsite, will definitely be returning. Danny is a lovely host… highly recommend
