Welcome to this remote piece of paradise! Rhapsody is located in Gingkin,, which is not far from Oberon NSW, about 3 hours west of Sydney.
Campsites are hidden in a remote valley direct frontage to the pristine Hollanders River, adjoining the Kanangra-Boyd National Park. There are two private campsites on grassy river flats surrounded by eucalyptus forest. The sites are very secluded so you will see lots of wildlife and you're guaranteed not to see any other people! Only one group can stay at each campsite and campsites are on different parts of the river so privacy is guaranteed.
In dry conditions 2WD is fine for Wallaby flat but in wet weather, 4WD is required. Platypus flat is 4wd only. You can always park at the top of the hill and walk down first if you're not sure.
Dog friendly. Campfires permitted in a designated area when restrictions aren't in place. Gather your own wood from fallen timber on the way in or BYO wood. Not much firewood available on site. Both campsites can get quite cool as they are low in the valley.
This is a wild and remote area. Guided remote bushwalks also available for those who are fit and adventurous.
Both campsites have a pit toilets, cold shower, spring water on tap, picnic tables.. Water is sourced from a distant spring in the mountain and is gravity fed to the site by above ground pipe which heats the water during the day.
There is a small area where you can get Telstra mobile reception at the cattle grid on the way into the property, but very limited mobile reception in this area. If you are on Optus or other networks you won't get any reception. There is no mobile reception at camp - perfect for disconnecting and reconnecting with nature!

Lovingly developed for 15 years as a mindful refuge & wildlife corridor by Victoria, a filmmaker/permaculture designer, the property was completely destroyed in 2018. Thus the mega bushfire cycle began impacting forever most of NSW's flora, fauna & people. Nature ultimately prevails & slowly the untamed terrain is healing.
After studying at RMIT School of Architecture & Design for three years with the intention to design tiny living house systems better suited for harsh environments, Victoria has returned. Slowly she rebuilds a humble off-grid existence from the burnt-out bus fusing knowledge of building design with her food forests/aquaponics passion, keen to create an environmentally connected experience to share with like-minded others.
By staying you are helping her & all the wild things emerge from the ashes.
Thank you.

We absolutely loved our time at Jila Campground, so much so we extended our trip by double! There are so many great facilities that aren’t mentioned on hipcamp including high ropes for kids, a soccer field and a huge blow up water slide that get put up in the afternoons. The river is amazing. Very clean and super safe. Great for families. Our dogs loved running around off leash and making friends with the other campers. The campground is well space out so you’re not on top of anyone and you feel totally immersed in nature. Toilets and camp skinks are convenient and clean. One of the best hipcamps we’ve booked and we can’t wait to come back again soon!

This place was perfect for us family of four (1 toddler and a dog). The space is big enough to find shade and flat areas. The river was the highlight though. Beach, shallow and deep water!
It was a great start of the year and we will be back for sure

Lovely quiet area to relax and sit back in nature and lsten to the bird, swim, read a book or catch up with friend and family. Plenty of space to spread out.
Nice swimming in the river that has different levels of depth which was so good.
Allowing pets was great my dog had a fantastic time in the river.
Jumping castle or soccer field for the kids and kayaks to use for gold coin donation was good.
But I am 63 years old and the bank down to the river is pretty steep. I wish the owner would build some steps in multiple places to get down to the river safely as this was a bit dangerous at times. I saw a few people slip and land awkwardly trying to climb over tree logs or walk on the sandy soil which just gave way. This was a pretty dangerous and they were alot younger than me..
Price was a bit high considering you take your own drinking water and are self sufficient .
Would I go again yes.
However hoping that there would be stairs down to the river or other wise I would have to go else where which would be a shame as I am a local and would spend more weekend even holiday weeks there.

We loved camping at Jila. It's a gorgeous spot that feels disconnected from the busy world but is in fact only 10 mins or so drive from major shops if you need supplies. The river is easy to access and shallow so perfect for our kids to swim and kayak. Phil and his brother set up a waterslide every afternoon for the kids to use and there is also a little ninja area that our kids loved. We will definitely be back!

We camped here between Christmas and New Year's which is a very busy period so keep that in mind.
The river is nice and shallow with a slow current so the water is warm. There are birds and turtles around if you're patient to spot them. It's a beautiful spot and very serene. But not super refreshing.
Accessing the river is a bit steep and slippery in some places. Forget fishing though.
30% of the usable land is sloped so campers tend to set up towards the river where there is level ground.
We had multiple 4-5 neighbouring campers ranging within 10- 20 meters for the duration of our stay, though this didn't really affect our stay negatively besides a bit less privacy.
This camp ground is perfect for families of all sizes. Soccer field, tight ropes, shallow slow river, nightly blow up water slide, kids kayaks hire etc.
The downside to that is that everyone is asleep by 10pm and you find yourself whispering to not wake up others. If you're a night owl, it will be very quite and boring for you.
Most of the easily accessible firewood had been scavanged by the time we got there. A chainsaw and log splitter are almost a necessity but bringing your own firewood is easier.
The toilets were plumbed and flushing, there is running tap water and plenty of river water taps and sinks. The toilets did not have lights in them and the doors on some did not have locks.. as me and the poor Phillipino lady found when she opened the door on me mid wipe lol.. sorry lady.

What an incredible stay! The land itself is beautiful - you feel at peace the moment you drive up 🌿 It's also full of wildlife, loved the kookaburra chatter, and had a cruisey goana mooch his way past the site, said hello on his merry way 🦎 our dogs also had the best time exploring the land.
Victoria herself couldn't have been more friendly and helpful if she tried 💛 and her wee pup Echo is just the best!

One of the most private and peaceful bush camps I’ve stayed at. Victoria is a fantastic host and the instructions were clear and thoughtful, which made everything easy from the start. The sites themselves are well set up and you can tell a lot of care has gone into them.
I was pleasantly surprised by the composting toilet – simple to use and far better than the ones you usually find in national parks. It’s also dog-friendly, and there’s plenty to explore if you bring your hiking boots. A great spot to properly switch off.

We had a wonderful 2-night stay at Wallaby Flat and highly recommend it. If you want a spot that is truly secluded, private, and beautiful, this is it. The property is bordered by Kanangra-Boyd National Park, making it feel incredibly peaceful.
The river is very nice and was warm enough to soak in - the perfect way to cool down in the afternoon heat. While the river wasn’t as deep as usual during our stay, there were still spots deep enough to swim in. Hiking trails are available nearby, though we spent most of our time relaxing. There is also plenty of shade to help avoid the direct sun.
We spotted trout swimming by, and while we didn’t see the reclusive platypus or wombat, we saw many curious wallabies, birds, and rabbits.
For future campers: be sure to download offline maps before heading out, as there is no reception nearby. Danny’s directions and maps are excellent, but try to arrive during daylight to make finding the site easier.
Danny was an exceptional host - extremely friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the land and local wildlife. We had an outstanding time and are already looking forward to visiting again.
Overall: 5 out of 5.

Great spot for camping with kids and in a big group. Plenty of space, the river is nice and shallow in places for little people to splash about, plus lots of things for the kids to play with at the site. Toilets well maintained. Road into and out is quite steep and bumpy, fine in our 2WD campervan when dry but suspect it would be a bit sketchy in the wet.

The location was amazing and peaceful.
The cows, sheep and goats were super cute to have around.
Toilets were super clean, could wash off under the hoses around. There were sprinklers there too which the kids loved to play in. The river was perfect temp for swimming we all had a fab time. You could also use their kayaks and paddle boards. Would definitely go back again
The entrance of the location had a rough road with dirty and rocks but we saw all types of cars go up and down without any issues.
