Down by the Hawkesbury - Exclusive

Originally settled in 1889 "Bobs Grant" this lovely property and the surrounding land was originally used for farming but is now mostly turf farms.

Enjoy our little getaway down by the Hawkesbury River only 10 minutes from historic Windsor. A beautiful river shack for your use exclusively, including fire pit with direct access to the Hawkesbury river.

Destroyed in the March and July 2022 floods, we have now re-built and are loving welcoming back our guests.

Bring your caravans, tent or swag - all are welcome! Unfortunately, boats are not.

Relax and enjoy the serenity whilst being only 1 hour from Sydney.

We offer the site to one group only, a maximum of 20 guests. However note, we are not a place for rowdy groups and parties. Groups are welcome here to enjoy the time with their family and friends, play a little music and relax by the river.  The river can get busy (which is great after the floods as it has been dead for so long) and so can the road across the river but if you are enjoying your family and friends you won't even notice!

We have one basic toilet, and one river water shower available too! Please bring your own drinking water. 

​Fires are only permitted when allowed, in the designated areas only.

Otford Park nr Royal National Park

Otford is a historic village in a valley between Sydney and Wollongong, and bounded by the Pacific ocean.       Our private acreage backs onto the southern tip of the Royal National Park, so the outlook from the campsite is all leafy trees.  Walk to lookouts over the ocean, hike down to the beach or a few minutes drive to dog friendly beaches.   Our bathroom and kitchen facilities make it an easy experience for first time campers.  We are well-behaved-dog-friendly BUT you must let us know in advance.

Our access track to the camping sites has been repaired with a deep layer of asphalt but still best suited to 4WD.  The majority of standard 2WD cars manage the track fine    There is also the option of parking roadside, and walking in approx 300m to the sites.  Please message us if unsure about your vehicle.

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ
1. Please let us know if you are bringing a dog/dogs - we have horses, house dogs, chickens and; wildlife plus likely other campers close by, so need to be forewarned. Dogs must be on lead or contained at all times.

2.  If you need to camp out of your 4WD RV (such as a roof top tent), please contact me before booking to ensure those two particular vehicle sites are still available :) and that your vehicle is suitable for our track.  Maximum length is approx 5m.  Please scroll through the photos to see our amenities and camping sites.

3. We limit the number of people staying at any one time, so weekends book up quickly.   That said,  due to Covid and weather,  people often cancel at the last minute too,  so if we are currently booked out, it's always worthile checking again closer to the date for any availability.

We are on acreage (approx 7 acres) in Otford, surrounded by forest, backing onto the very southern end of the Royal National Park Sydney/Wollongong.  Sleep under the stars, and to the hoot of our local owls, and yips of the gorgeous feather-tail gliders.   Lovely, peaceful and private in a bushland backdrop but so close and just a hike to famous sites, beaches, cafes and bushwalking - so the perfect spot to stop, unpack and then go exploring.  

Max of 3 camp sites  booked at a time. Each camp site is within shouting distance of each other, so if looking for absolute privacy, please talk to me first. As bookings come throu

The driveaway to enter the property is very steep and not suitable for some vehicles. Contact the host for more info before arriving
