32km from The Entrance · 1 site · Tent, RV
Brightwater sits beside Olney State Forest and Kuluwan Flora Reserve. It is a 50-acre farm with a lovely spring-fed dam, with our nearby campsite. The site contains van parking, an open pavilion, an open deck by the stream, a fire pit, and a dunny. It is private and secluded, and with just one group staying at a time, you are guaranteed the space to yourselves.
Please go straight ahead on Collins Ave and enter through the car entrance, NOT the truck entrance which is off to the right. If you come in the truck entrance I can't see you.
There are many beautiful walking and bike trails in the area. Lots of wildlife to meet, including water dragons, wild ducks, and pythons, to name a few. There is also nearby evidence of the original occupants, the Darkinjung people.
You are also welcome to bring a couple of horses! There's a safe paddock with a trough and nice trails in the area to explore.
The Kulnura General Store and bottleshop is just 9km down the road for basic supplies.

Overall, the experience was great. John, the owner, was very accommodating and thoughtful—he even checked in to see how we were doing. He kindly lent me his toolkit to fix my broken tent, which I really appreciated.
The only downside was that there was just one toilet. Thankfully, there weren’t too many of us, so it wasn’t a major issue.

What a fantastic spot right by the river . We stayed here a few weeks ago for a birthday celebration, and had the place almost to ourselves .
Hosts were very friendly and nothing too much trouble .
Facilities a little basic , only 1 toilet and shower in a small porta cabin . Could do with a make over , however they were clean and that’s what hip camps all about.
If there were a few camping there , could see it being a bit of an issue .
Overall brilliant stay and perfect for our celebration. Definitely recommend .

Beautiful spot, easy access for our 19 foot van, lots of fairly level areas and heaps of space. We were there Australia Day weekend and it was mainly families. You do need to take some care on the way in as there are some steep descents and tight turns but nothing too concerning.
Won’t be our last visit!

Cath was welcoming and the property was great. I felt very tucked away on the site and was really comfortable sitting on the deck and by the fire. It was a nice drive out and the property was well signposted. It's a new favourite that I would definitely go back to.

I camped beside the river with my rooftop tent & dogs. It was peaceful, beautiful & relaxing. There were numerous birds, including kookaburra’s, and wombat holes, although none- spotted. There were ducks & fish on the river.
The walk to the caves was lovely, and the local shops, art gallery & tapas bars were also great, with some of the best food I’ve tasted. Will definitely be back. The drive from Sydney was pleasant.

Me and a friend did 2 nights here and loved it. Easy to get to and easy check in. Cath (and the dogs) met us on arrival. The dogs do greet you “enthusiastically” and jumped on the car which wasn’t great but they are sweet. The white dogs are guards dogs (let out at night) and take their role seriously on the farm so should not be approached. This is standard with all guard dogs and you shouldn’t let it put you off. Cath will explain when you arrive also.
We loved the big open space and variety of setups that the camp site brings. The open cabin is fantastic and provided much needed shelter from the storm! It got a bit hairy at points so glad we had that. It’s nice bring raised up looking across the camp.
The big fire pit was great with the grill in the corner so you can cook over coals and still have your main fire next to it. Huge water tank with washing up area and tap was also a great addition.
As per another comment, there are leeches but again, just make sure to wear long trousers tucked in and check yourself when you’re walking around camp or on the trails. Same for all forest camping. We didn’t feel like it was too much of an issue. You also have the deck to keep up off the ground if you want to.
The site is plenty big for a ground of people with options to pitch tents on grass, mud, sand, the deck or in the cabin itself which we did. There’s also a couple of flat spots for parking for rooftop tents.

Our campsite was situated beside the river, and well maintained. Even though we shared the space with another couple, the ambiance remained peaceful, affording us a sense of seclusion.. One of the highlights of our stay was the chance to enjoy a nighttime campfire while gazing up at the stars. We craved a short getaway to pause and unwind, it was exactly what we got. The hosts were remarkably friendly and accommodating. Thank you for sharing your space with us

We enjoyed our caravan stay at the Hawkesbury Hideaway despite being the hottest weekend of the year. Easy access to the river for a dip for us and the pups kept us sane, and access to power for aircon in our caravan kept us cool at night.
Easy drive to Wiseman’s Ferry and historic St Albans kept it interesting.
Nice grassy area and a few spots under trees for shade, and some nice views of the river as well. Very spacious so able to accommodate a few campers without overcrowding.
Toni was easily contactable and helpful to get us settled in.

This is our second time staying here in summer and it is just the most perfect campsite. It has it all - privacy, a beautiful healthy dam to swim in, plenty of shade from trees and the handy leanto for wet weather. There is tank water, tables and chair, a massive fire pit and plenty of fire wood.
We can’t fault Caths place!

We were greeted welcomingly by the host, Cath, and her friendly dogs. We were then shown to the camp site- it was quite private and very much in nature. It was quite warm the days we were there for, so we were glad the camp site was set in a shaded area to keep us cool. The sounds of birds and other wildlife were lovely to hear, especially at night with the frogs and insects. Our dog had a blast walking the trails nearby as well as swimming in the dam. Highly recommend. Just make sure to bring your insect repellent and you’re all set!
