So much room, you can see other houses but it feels very quiet and removed from the suburbs.

Please note that Hipcamp has increased my fees by 50%. 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. 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 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 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.

Matt was great. He met us at the dam when we arrived and showed us the way to the camp site. We had a swim in the dam (surprisingly comfortable water temp) and chilled out evening amongst the trees.

Myself and husband loved our stay here!! We spent a day wondering the town of Lithgow and the ruins and stayed an extra night to visit the glow worm caves! Super lucky to have had the campsite to ourselves for our time there but what a beautiful place 💛 zero issues at all and we met Sally’s father who was friendly and made us feel very welcome 🥰 thank you Sally! We have already recommended you to friends and family 💛

We enjoyed staying here for a few days while visiting and exploring the local area. Matt is a great host and was super helpful in finding the right spot for our set up. Matt had a great set up down at the dam including a rock wall climb over the dam, if only the weather was warm enough we would have loved to have a go! We found this place ideal for doing a number of hikes in the area.

Weekend Trip to Good Paddock

We went into our stay without high expectations which worked well for us. If you’re expecting well manicured landscapes and golden toilets pay a lot more and stay elsewhere. All we needed was a ‘Good Paddock’ to setup our camp,somewhere central to base ourselves where we needed to be and this spot was absolutely perfect for us,very spacious away from other campers. Being the long weekend when we stayed a bit of rowdyness was expected no matter where we were,I’ve read other reviews of this place I can see why some others would have certain reviews but we were quite happy to see people enjoying the property and to meet some of the family that lived there who were very polite and friendly we were also fortunate enough on our last night there everyone else had cleared out giving us the whole paddock to ourselves. We were also fortunate to be visited by the local wombat and mob of Roos. All in all we were very happy with our stay and would recommend to others on the basis to not expect a bowling green and toilet fit for kings. Thanks again Sally for having us,we look to return sometime in the future

Weekend Trip to Bonnie Doon at Bell

Spot suited for those comfortable camping in a rustic setting. Feels like you could be anywhere in the Blue Mountains. People do walk past your camp in order to get to the lookout so not completely private if other campers choose to do that walk. Not ideal if windy as it can be a bit unrelenting. This aside you can enjoy an incredible sunset and night sky from this location. Wonderfully quiet during the day. Matthew is also a very attentive and considerate host. We loved chatting to him.

Look up on a large mountain behind Lithgow.

We loved camping at Matt's campsite. It was spacious and quiet as all campsites are separated. We also loved the little lake and kayak. There's also a short walk to a cliff platform to watch the sunset. Matt was super friendly and guided us to different parts of his site. We'll definitely visit again!

We had a lovely stay at the Grassy Paddock. It is close to the dam for swimming and water activities and had a clean drop toilet that was perfect for our needs. We did an incredible hike with Matthew that was awesome, (thanks again Mattew). Our groodle had a wonderful time and we enjoyed the peace and quiet, it felt like a National Park. The kids loved all the water activities. We will definitely be back.

We had a fantastic stay at Bonnie Doon! Matt was so welcoming , always available if we needed anything and brought us on an epic canyon walk where we experienced some beautiful pools and views. The campsite was easy to access , and campsites were far enough from each other that we all had privacy. The option to also rent a portaloo was great. Most of us were travelling from Sydney and it’s hard to get somewhere that is not a big drive from sydney , but is also secluded, and Matt’s place ticked all the boxes. Would highly recommend Matt’s campsite to anyone!
