**★★★★★ Amazing Getaway Experience with Exceptional Hospitality!** We had the most wonderful experience staying in the London double decker bus, made even more special by the kindness of our host Glen. Not only was the location beautiful and the site incredibly cozy, but Glen also went above and beyond when they found out it was my birthday—upgrading us to a stunning London double decker bus that made the trip unforgettable. The attention to detail, warm hospitality, and serene surroundings made this a perfect getaway. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and will definitely be returning. Thank you Glen for making my birthday so memorable! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious outdoor experience.

My partner and I stayed in the WWII Army Communication Tower in the park and loved it! The views were outstanding and we were met with unbelievable sunset and sunrise. The tiny home was very tidy, filled with interesting books and other stuff, and the walk around the property is beautiful. Highly recommend!

Where to go

Blue Mountains

East of Lithgow, the misty peaks of the Blue Mountains National Park are cloaked in UNESCO-listed rainforest. Campers can hike through the jungle, soar over canyons on the Scenic Railway or cable car, and marvel at natural wonders such as the Three Sisters and Wentworth Falls. Venture off-road in a 4WD to explore the southern mountains, camp out in the bush, or visit the Jenolan Caves.

NSW Tablelands

Less than an hour’s drive west of Lithgow, the former gold rush town of Bathurst is the gateway to the Central Tablelands. Give yourself time to discover the region’s 19th-century villages, try gold panning along the creeks, and take in the views along the famous Mount Panorama Circuit. Camping options range from family-friendly holiday parks to farmstays on a working farm.

Lower Hunter Valley

North of Lithgow, the sweeping gorges and dense bushlands of the Wolgan Valley and Capertee National Park provide dramatic terrain for rock climbing, mountain biking, and 4WD excursions. To the east, glowworm caves, kayaking tours, and bush camping are among the many highlights of the Wollemi National Park.

When to go

Outdoor activities are possible year-round in Lithgow, as long as you dress for the seasons—winter campers should prepare for some frosty nights. Summer (December through February) is peak season, but there are plenty of places to escape the crowds in the surrounding national parks. Seasonal events draw large crowds to the town too, most notably the Halloween Street Festival, Ironfest (April), and the LithGlow light show (May).

Know before you go

Lithgow has bus and train links to Sydney, but having your own transport is useful for exploring the national parks.

Lithgow has a good selection of shops, where you can pick up camping gear and stock up on supplies before heading out into the Blue Mountains.
Fire bans are common in New South Wales during summer and dry periods, so check local recommendations before lighting up.
A permit is required to camp within NSW’s national parks, and campsites must be booked in advance.
