This is a fantastic space, a little piece of paradise. We had a great time, facilities could not have been better and the owners are very welcoming, helpful and friendly. Couldn't recommend this space more, they've got everything you need. The undercover area was perfect. Great for dogs and groups wanting a private space. Camping with added luxuries.

This Hipcamp is breathtaking!
I stayed at ‘across the creek’ which was a large paddock which the horses roam through.
The horses are a highlight and very friendly all with a different personality.
There is a dam with 2 kayaks available to use!
The location is great for exploring the Southern Highlands region!
Host is very helpful and responsive! I will definitely be back many times!

A well maintained site with fantastic facilities. The huge undercover area was fabulous during our stay as we had rain on and off and we were all able to gather together. The undercover fire place and pizza oven were also enjoyed. We brought along our inflatable SUP and Kayak and were able to use these in the river, however be mindful there is motorised watercraft using the river also. We had a really enjoyable stay with our family. (3 couples)

5 stars for the stunning setting (beautiful river with clear water, sandy bottom, big gum trees and various birdlife) and for the proximity to Sydney. 2.5 stars for the camping facilities: the electric fence (for cows in the next door property) wasn't turned off until a few hours after our arrival for the long weekend, and there were a lot of cow dung patties and attendant flies. Nice to have flushing toilets with toilet paper but these had no lights to see in them, a few broken locks and no vacant/occupied signs on the outside. There were very few kayaks and paddles but this wasn't advertised so we hadn't brought alternatives. No firewood though that was promised. And as other reviewers experienced, falling tree branches including green leafed ones (ie not just dead branches you could check for before setting up tents). We had a lovely time on a hot summer weekend, with kids and adults hanging out in the river most of the day. But for the price, it would be good if these things could be sorted. Overall, still recommend as a great nearby camping option, but come prepared.
