4 nights at Melon Green at Oakdale

Melon Oak is a peaceful campsite with the loveliest host. Only an hour from Sydney airport and you feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere with barely a soul insight. Close by, Picton is a charming little town with cute cafe’s and an ice creamery. As always, pack the mozzie repellent!

Lovely place, secluded at the edge of the town. Very peaceful and relaxing, I wish I had more time to stay an extra night and explore the area. Woke up to a family of kangaroos outside the van. Highly recommend it. Geoff is really friendly and helpful too, recommend loads to do in the area.

We had a great stay at Little creek. It was the perfect location to explore Gardens of Stone State Conservation area and the lost city walk. Geoff was very friendly and helpful with information on the area. The campsite was perfect, with firewood pit, firewood, toilet, and goats next door.

We had a lovely time camping at Katie’s property. Katie and her family were very accommodating and our kids loved playing together on the equipment and helping feed the horses in the morning. It was a bonus having a shower and toilet at the property too. For anyone looking for a safe place to stay with a great family atmosphere, this place is what you are looking for. Thank you Katie and her children for a great weekend.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The hosts were so lovely and helpful. Nothing was too much for them. We had the best few days here, so peaceful and spacious! The location was amazing, so close to Sydney and the blue mountains. Absolutely beautiful outlook, the property was so pretty! The grass campsite was great, no dirt was brought into the van. The kids had access to a playground, trampoline and cubby house. The hosts children were super friendly and took our girls around the property, they bathed a horse and went on the buggy around feeding the animals. I would 100% recommend this camp to anyone. It was absolutely beautiful, look no further, book in here!

We loved camping at this beautiful tranquil spot for 3 nights! Perfect location, close to everything if needed but far enough away that you truly felt you were alone in the bush. Barry was a wonderful easygoing host and the property is perfect for some off grid quality family time!

I had a wonderful experience at this campsite last week! The location was absolutely beautiful — surrounded by nature, peaceful, and perfectly maintained. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with a smile. The facilities were clean and well-organized, making the stay very comfortable. I especially loved how family- and pet-friendly the atmosphere was, and how easy it was to relax and enjoy the scenery. It’s clear that the team truly cares about providing a great experience for visitors. I’ll definitely be recommending this place to friends and can’t wait to come back again soon!
