The larger dam has a picnic area and kayaks available to paddle on.
Adjoining our property is Nattai National Park with a lovely 20 minute walk down to Little River. The Aqua Pool Trail in the National Park is just gorgeous.
If you wish to try and catch some yabbies from the dams the only allowable and fun way is by a long stick and sausage. Hooks, fishing lines and traps are not allowed as we have people, dogs and horses swimming in the dams.
We welcome self-contained campers who bring their shower/toilet set up. We do have two drop pit toilets available and each campsite has a pit fire provided. We are getting low on firewood so you will need to bring some along with you. There is access to drinking water.
Our property is 2WD accessible and can accommodate small caravans and camper trailers.
Not far from Buxton is Thirlmere where the Steam Train Museum is and train rides are available on the weekends, a great activity for the kids.

At Wildwoods you'll find 330 acres of natural bushland and a small amount of cleared farmland/paddocks with incredible views in every direction. Endless gullies, mountains, forests, cliffs, and caves to explore on the property or on the crown land adjoining.
An amazing amount of wildlife - Birds, wombats, kangaroos of all kinds (wallaby, wallaroo, eastern greys etc), goannas, echidnas, turtles, ducks just to name a few.
There are also plenty of roads to ride and explore via mountain bike or foot.
The road in is a little rough, and there is only a small amount of levelled land. But it is still an amazing spot, where nature does all the hard work, and I would love to share it with people.
This is the perfect place for those who want to be in total peace and quiet, surrounded by nature and wildlife.
Each campsite is private, where by you're the only camper able to book the site. Some are more private than others - Read each description for details.
*Please note* access to the property is via Megalong Road - a narrow windy road, the only road in and out of Megalong Valley. Google maps can sometimes show options through Kanimbla Valley - This is not possible. Ensure you come in via Megalong Road.

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.

Welcome! Lovely to see you here. Our property is located in Arcadia, just 45 minutes from Sydney CBD. The campsite is located on the high side of the property that looks over into the valley & has stunning views of the Berowra National Park.
There is a multitude of walking, hiking and mountain bike trails. There are also many nearby horse riding trails. The property backs on to Calabash Creek which is like a rain Forrest once you get down to the valley floor.
Berowra waters is near by, whereby many fishing, canoeing, boating activities are available, coupled with some great cafes/restaurants.
Campfires are allowed as long as there are no restrictions in place and they are supervised. Pets are welcome and can be off leash, however are the responsibility of their human parents.
The property has ample room to accommodate larger groups that might want to hold milestone celebrations such as Birthday parties, whereby all sites will be closed to accommodate such events. Recently Calabash Haven hosted a party of 50 people for 50th Bday celebration. Feel free to inquire to see if we can accommodate your needs.
Campers must be self contained with their own camping toilet and take all waste with them on departure.

2nd visit, love this spot. Close to home but feels a million miles away. Dogs have a great time foraging around and we feel its very safe for them there.
Nice flat surface, easy access for our 19’ van.

Such an amazing spot at Bass Billabong, so beautiful and our dogs had a great time exploring. Suzy was an exceptional host, even taking time out to drop me down a roll of dunny paper once I realised I’d forgotten it. Would definitely visit again, highly recommend.

Went here during the Christmas break expecting to have a lot of pther campers around but for our surprise, there weren't many. Camp sites are far from each other ensuring privacy. The entire campsite is well secure in a fenced area.
The flush toilet was clean and well maintained. Although the camp site is close to a town, it felt like being in a remote place. There are lot of trees providing shade and dams are a nice thing to have.
The best part of this campsite is that it is close to the aqua pools. 20 mins steep hike to the beautiful water holes.
We met the owners when they were there to restock toilet supplies. They were very helpful.

Quiet area with enough space between sites to make it semi private, level site with fireplace and some furniture. Compost toilet was very clean and well stocked, and water container with soap to wash hands was a nice addition. Was very peaceful and perfect for us with a dog. Didn’t notice many mosquitoes but we did have rain during our stay.

I camped for a night at Platypus Bend with my cousin and her two dogs and the dogs had an absolute ball running free and in and out of the creek. Dane's communication was great, there was plenty of firewood provided and also some complimentary marshmallows which was a sweet touch. It's a nice private site for a little camping getaway.

We chose a gorgeous, private spot on the creek, which we had to ourselves. We climbed the hill, saw a lace monitor and enjoyed the walk. Went for a wade in the creek. Suzy is a very friendly host who brought us some firewood. We had a lovely weekend just relaxing and reading.

we went as a group and want to make this a yearly event. the campsites are well spaced with plenty of open space to set up. Relatively private and far away from the noise from other campers. amenities(composting toilets)were clean and more than expected, the sensor lights for nightime visits was so handy for the ladies of our group. The owners have put a lot of thought into making it a comfortable and enjoyable experience. We'll certainly be back
