Great quiet place. Dana is a great host. Did a bit of bush walking that is on property. Dana will give you a map which helps. Highly recommend if you want a place to chill out.

Weekend Trip to Noonameena - Sleep in the Bush

Very peaceful. Yes you can hear the highway traffic all hours but it’s not significant enough to worry you. Lovely hosts. The only negative is the lack of signage. I think the sites should be numbered or named and allocated. The pathways through the bush to the river should also be sign posted, not easy to navigate, i can see visitors getting lost . Would I come back? Definitely

What a great spot to take it easy, Dana was the best with a great welcome. What a wonderful place to camp. Walk to the River it does takes a little effort to get down there but worth it, and not far from Berrima to walk around the town and have lunch at the pub. Lots of fire wood you just have to look for it. Thanks again, we stayed 9 nights lots of star to see while sitting around a fire. We will be back as not for from Sydney.

It was quiet and tucked out of the way of civilisation. Dana was very helpful in pointing out a great spot for us to camp on her property. Fire pits were available to use to minimise damage to the property.

This was one of our first Hip Camps. The drive in is really pretty and we loved being out in the open like this. The property is lovely and flat, so set up was quick and easy. Lots of Kangaroos. Our dog is still getting used to camping and is quite clingy which we find funny. Overall really loved our 2 night stay.

A beautiful place to stay. Nice level field and plenty of fire pits and wood available. Dana was very welcoming and shared a great map of the property. Worth the final scramble down the rocks to get to the river. Will be back for sure ✨

What a beautiful property. We chose a secluded spot behind the dam. Very peaceful, barely even knew anyone else was there. Dana was lovely and greeted us on arrival, supplying a mud map of the property which was great for navigating the bush tracks. Some great bush walking tracks and the river was beautiful. We will definitely be back.

Very beautiful camp spot. Nice bush walks around the property and a wonderful creek to swim in. Probably 20min walk from camp, with some climbing involved. There were other campers in the same area but decent amount of space between. Host was very friendly and easy to deal with. Would recommend :)
