*****No toilet or shower available at this listing. You must bring your own. PLEASE BE AWARE ENTRY TO THE PROPERTY IS STEEP. Entry is not ideal for large caravans or campervans. *****
We do not allow fires at the campsite between the 1st of October and the 1st of March. We apologise for any inconvenience to this rule.
La Cascina is a small property on a hill surrounded by trees and bushland. There are two main camping areas which would suite tent and small to medium van/car camping. There is access to neighbouring bushland with nice short walks available in the area. Only 20 minutes by car to Newcastle CBD, 10 minutes by car to Redhead Beach and 5 minutes by car to Lake Macquarie.
La Cascina is a great spot to stop overnight on a road trip or to get away for the weekend to relax. We have no toilets so please bring your own. The access to the property is a steep sealed driveway.
Site 1 is an open site with plenty of shade. The area is flat. More suited to larger camping setups. This site is less private. There is vision of the neighbouring property and an overflow campsite 50 meters away.
Site 2 is a more uneven surface area which is better for smaller vans and tents.
Redhead Beach is the closest dog beach 10 minutes by car.
Croudace Bay is a dog park on the lake which is 5 minutes by car.
This is a family owned acreage that brings the best parts of environmental living with the benefits of being close to the coast and a city. A very long time ago it was the site of a quarry. The nature has returned and we are left with a beautiful forested acreage.

Blue CornerStone Campsite – Oakville, Hawkesbury
Welcome to Blue CornerStone, a simple, private 5-acre property in Oakville, just 1 hour northwest of Sydney and only minutes from the historic town of Windsor.
This is not a large commercial campground – it’s our home, and we open it up to guests who enjoy the relaxed, down-to-earth feel of camping on private land. You’ll be sharing the property with us (we live in the house on-site), as well as our horses, pets, and plenty of local birdlife.
You can set up camp by the dam, choose from a powered or unpowered site, or book our freshly renovated motorhome for a cosy stay. There is a simple outdoor toilet available for guests to use.
What to expect:
• A peaceful spot away from the main road.
• Horses and dogs welcome (with paddocks, a tack room, and float parking).
• A dam to cool off in.
• Open spaces to relax and enjoy the slower pace.
• Fire pits and barbecues are allowed with sensible use.
Nearby highlights:
• Lynwood Golf & Country Club (woodfired pizzas!) – 5 mins walk.
• Oakville Harvest – at the other end of the road.
• Scheyville National Park – 3km (riding trails, picnic spots, history).
• The Hawkesbury River, Pioneer Village, Cattai National Park, Wisemans Ferry, Windsor town centre, and more are all within easy reach.
If you’re looking for a simple, down-to-earth camping spot where you can slow down, connect with nature, and enjoy the Hawkesbury region, Blue CornerStone is a welcoming little corner to call your own

I camped for a night at Platypus Bend with my cousin and her two dogs and the dogs had an absolute ball running free and in and out of the creek. Dane's communication was great, there was plenty of firewood provided and also some complimentary marshmallows which was a sweet touch. It's a nice private site for a little camping getaway.

We loved camping at Platypus Bend, it was lovely to be surrounded by just the sounds of nature with no-one else around. We are pretty sure we had a visit from a Wombat in the middle of the night. There were all sorts of games onsite for our use and will definitely be booking again.

Site number 2, one adult Jeep grand Cherokee with 17 foot caravan.
Great campsite in beautiful bushland setting. Very private.
Excellent phone reception. Also excellent TV reception.
As mentioned before, the driveway is very steep, but it is quite manageable, using your lowest gear.
I’m camping here because of its close proximity to Belmont 16s club, which is no more than 10 minutes away.
I’ll certainly be returning again.
Site 2 is the go if you’re looking for a real bush setting along with privacy

Really nice quiet spot with total privacy. We’re a 13+ metre rig and had no problem getting in and out. Nice and level, great firepit setup and we appreciated the fire being ready to go (as well as the pack of marshmallows!) Felt safe for our dogs too with the river surrounding three sides and a fenced off entry section. We all loved it.
If you are a long setup, make sure you don’t miss the entrance gate as it’s very tough to turn around further down the road. Don’t worry about the sign that says unsuitable for caravans, that applies to the dirt section beyond this property.
