Rolf place is amazing if you are after a few days of switching off and connecting to nature. His property has a number of places where to camp so even if there is another group booked at the same time you not all need to be in the spot. I have enjoyed listening to the birds in the morning, walking around his property, watching the local wildlife. Rolf has great instructions to get to his place- the drive through the valley is breathtaking. I will be back. Thanks Rolf for being such a great host!

We had the best stay at Myrtle Ridge!! The site is beautiful with plenty of space, you are quite secluded from the other campers which is brilliant. Toilets are clean. Alana was a fantastic host, we really enjoyed chatting with her and she was very accommodating and helpful. Will look forward to coming back!

First time in 15 years we had a family holiday camping. It’s was a bit of a surprise finding the little hidden gem not far from home, but far enough to enjoy each other’s company a not be on our phones.. Friendly, happy host Alana. Quiet spot with plenty of room. Clean bathrooms, able to play footy, and use the new rc car toy, while running around with the puppy. Close to shops when we needed them, went to wollombi for a nice easy drive. Loved it.

This is such a beautiful and precious hip camp. The people that run the farm are so lovely and very accomodating. They do tours on weekends and take you to their animals. /teach you about the farm and its history.
There is a really lovely waterfall and walk and the orchards are beautiful to walk around with tasteful oranges!
The funds raised from the hip camp goes to the Rotary charity in many countries it is a very cool concept.
We would highly recommend checking this out!

Lovely place. Very scenic and peaceful. Would benefit from toilet upgrade. We almost cooked inside the tin shed with the warm weather. No escape from warm weather with not being allowed in the water and not much shade. Caretaker was lovely. Kids loved the animals being around to say hello to. Would go back but maybe not in summer.

We had a great time camping at Dharawal, highlights were the pizza oven, use of the cabin with table tennis, being only us, and the location: very close to Jingga pool track, mountain bike tracks and shop if needed, it’s a fantastic place and would highly recommended for a few days break.
