100 acres of secluded paradise with a kilometer of free flowing pebbled creek. Bound on two sides by the craggy escarpments of the Budgong and Morton National Parks there is ample grassland to give a feeling of space yet an abundance of trees to wander through as you engage with the tame wildlife and magnificent birdlife. Bring your mountain bike, fishing rod, swimmers, hiking boots, tennis racket, basketball (a hoop on the tennis court) or climbing gear and leave the kids in the play area while you sit by the creek and listen to the water tumbling through the rocks. If you are as intrigued by rare animals as we are, then this is the place for you. 63 Bird species, 24 mammals, 16 reptiles, and 12 amphibians have been sighted in the area (Clarke 2012) and this includes many rare and endangered species including the platypus, brush-tailed rock wallaby, Giant burrowing frog, Gang-gang cockatoo, Glossy black-cockatoo, Koala, Little Lorikeet and the Yellow-bellied glider. We only have three campsites at present, so you will be guaranteed peace, space and privacy. with a minimum of 400m between all sites. Please note, that your group must be self-contained, with their own camp toilet, however fresh drinking water is available. Access is into a valley on a well maintained unsealed road but there are some minor causeways making it unsuitable for busses or long low slung vans. An ordinary sedan will do for Billabong and Dad's camp sites but you will need some power for towing and a 4x4 to tow out in any rain. Riverbend site is only suitable for 4x4's and off-road camp trailers. You are a 40 minute drive from the sea (try the Shoalhaven 100 beach challenge https://www.shoalhaven.com/100-beach-challenge/ ) and just 15km from the historical town of Kangaroo Valley with its myriad of water activities, golf, wine estates, and quaint shopping. ttps://visitkangaroovalley.com.au/see-and-do/

Perfect location, loved staying on this property. We enjoyed daily swims in the river, the site was private and well maintained with camping neighbours nowhere near our site. Vallance and his family were so very friendly and hospitable and we will come back many a time in the future. Plenty of morning and afternoon shade at the site and because it's a new site there is a huge amount of firewood for campers to utilise. Nothing negative to say. Dream camping trip over new years, peaceful, with a mega bonfire put on for guests to celebrate the new year. Park and trampoline were perfect for kids.

Christine's place is everything she described. Quiet and peaceful with an abundance of wild life and some lovely views. The kookaburras and cows were a highlight and the very clean long drop toilet was a bonus. Sites are very very generous, clearly signposted and well maintained. We will definatly be back.

Overall it was a great camp-site. Plenty of area to choose where to pitch your tent. Cows and horse were in close proximity, but not intrusive to the camp-site. Plenty of kookaburras around to see and hear as well as the occasional kangaroo. Dogs loved playing in the nearby creek and there were large open areas for the dogs to roam and explore, with plenty of firewood laying around for you to collect. Particularly liked the fire pit set up with the rocks/stones containing the fire pit. I was a bit worried about how the toilet will be, but I was pleased to see that the toilet was clean and well maintained. Camp-site was also well maintained. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating, and were very responsive to messages, bringing delicious fresh eggs promptly when we had requested them. Kookaburra was easy to find and get to from Sydney and as per other reviews, it was very quiet and serene. As with most camp-sites and remote areas, the reception was not the best, but devices could still be used (if required). We all had a great time and would definitely consider returning to this camp-site. Considering the reasonable cost of booking, I would recommend this camp-site!

Stunning property only a short drive from Nowra. Felt lush and secluded with great vistas from the Pecan site. Vallance was super responsive and helpful. Would definitelyyy recommend bringing fly traps and repellant for the demon flies and mozzies in summer. Always lovely having limited reception but a nice feature having the wifi only available at the communal shed in case you need to get an AllTrails map or weather update! Thanks again!

A quiet, peaceful spot in a large paddock near a creek. Easy and quick access off the A1 with our 9m caravan. The kids enjoyed having the cows and a horse to watch, and it was nice being able to buy free-range eggs from the host. A relaxed place to stop and unwind.

Second time camping at Wombat Hollow. Loved it even more. Went for an early evening stroll this time and saw so many wombats. The bird song was gorgeous evening and morning. Camped up at the Pecan Wood camp. The view from the top of the rise is wonderful and worth being a little further from the creek. Pecan gets sun all day so perfect for cooler months. If we visit in summer we'll stay at one of the shady creek-side camps.

Amazing weekend camping with three families. Plenty of space in the paddock for the kids to run around. Leanne was wonderful. Fantastic host. Kids loved watching the animals, and going for a walk around the property. Ground is quite hard the moment so a hammer was useful when getting pegs in!
