Top of the World
10 sites · RVs, Tents56 acres · Horseshoe Creek, NSW
Look for the big red letterbox with the blue flag on the right.
This spot is for people that think that they are the only ones left in the world. Once at the top, it's yours to live in peace and quiet.
56 acres of undulating hills covered with native bush land, with 10 cleared sites for you to set up camp.
If you like an adventure then this mountain is for you. 2 sites called "Top of the world tent site 1 and tent site 2" are accessible by 4WD only (tent camping is advised) There is a step 19 degree road up to the penthouse summit thats at 1000ft. However if it is dry you can tow a camping trailer but only if you have a winch. If it rains the only way down is backwards tethered to trees via your winch. It's an adventure.
Campers are welcome to have a campfire, there is plenty of timber on the ground that you can collect or bring your own. As long as there is no fire ban.
There are some great bush walks you can enjoy, including down to the creek (about a 40 min walk). The creek is picturesque with lemon trees and peach trees along the edge while in season. There are 2 sites down at the creek called Firefly's and platypus and these are for off road self contained
4x4 campers and those with a tent. The creek is pristine and crystal clear unless it's raining. These 2 sites are absolutely private if you book them both. If you don't mind sharing the creek with another camper then you only need to book 1 site.
There is also a 10 month of the year
30 metre high
waterfall
(depending on rain fall this waterfall can vary from massive water to
slow water)
and another
seasonal waterfall. Don't forget the dam for swimming with the spa tub and fresh mountain spring water constantly flowing into it from an inch and a half poly pipe constantly overflowing into the dam.
The water in the creek
is safe to drink with no filter needed.
The creek is
running and crystal clear and very private.
If you are in a 2 wheel drive RV/ Motorhome you can book the "Paw Paw hill site" or "a dam good view"
There is one site that is all grass accessible in the dry weather. Plenty of drinking water is also available at all sites either via a tap or the creek running water.
All campers MUST HAVE their own portable toilet. If no portable toilet you can purchase one from many camping stores at a reasonable price before coming.
Doing number 2 in the bush is totally unacceptable. Because this is a leave no trace camp site we do ask you to take all trash with you when you leave as well.
There is no council rubbish collection in this area. We respect our beautiful paradise and we know you will appreciate it also.
If you make a fire please leave it so I can mow around it once you leave. E.G Please remove all sticks.
