Located just one hour from Sydney, our property features 19 acres of pure serenity with two dams and one large enough to kayak on (kayaks supplied). The back of the property is perfect for camping and suitable for a small to medium caravan/camper. The larger dam has a picnic area and kayaks available to paddle on. Adjoining our property is Nattai National Park with a lovely 20 minute walk down to Little River. The Aqua Pool Trail in the National Park is just gorgeous. If you wish to try and catch some yabbies from the dams the only allowable and fun way is by a long stick and sausage. Hooks, fishing lines and traps are not allowed as we have people, dogs and horses swimming in the dams. We welcome self-contained campers who bring their shower/toilet set up. We do have two drop pit toilets available and each campsite has a pit fire provided. We are getting low on firewood so you will need to bring some along with you. There is access to drinking water. Our property is 2WD accessible and can accommodate small caravans and camper trailers. Not far from Buxton is Thirlmere where the Steam Train Museum is and train rides are available on the weekends, a great activity for the kids. Thirlmere Lakes National Park is perfect for a relaxing picnic, walk, birdwatching, and glimpse into locomotive history. Mittagong and Bowral have great wineries with restaurant/bistro. Pets are welcome. There's a range of different bushwalking trails in the region, including Starlights trail, a scenic bushwalk suited to experienced hikers, which forms part the Greater Blue Mountains trail network between Mittagong and Katoomba.You'll be just one hour from Sydney yet feel like you're a world away, with the Nattai National Park at your doorstep.  Our 19 acre property is 2WD accessible and can accommodate small to medium size caravans, RV’s and camper trailers. Pitch your tent or park your van around either of the two dams and enjoy the view while you keep toasty around the fire pit. We have two drop pit toilets available as well as potable water. You'll still need to bring your own shower. The larger dam has a picnic area and kayaks to go for a paddle. Adjoining our property is Nattai National Park with a lovely 20 minute walk down to Little River where you can have a picnic and go for a swim in the beautiful aqua pools. Not far from Buxton is Thirlmere where the Steam Train Museum is and train rides are available on the weekends, a great activity for the kids.

It is a camp for the true camper. The host is friendly and helpful. Great dam to swim in and some wonderful river pools in the valley below.

Fabulous stay close to Sydney
Stunning place to stay. The little things make it very comfortable. Loved floating in the dam and the rock pools are fabulous. We enjoyed out second stay. Thank you Kim.

Amazing views, walk to little river is so worth it however it is challenging with younger kids or smaller dogs. Amenities were above and beyond with flushing toilets that work great, kayaks, lights for guidance, maintained walks, toys and water. Host gave me the option to cancel because of rain and kept us in the loop for weather and still happily greeted us when we were late to arrival. I highly recommend this spot especially for doggies, very affordable for what you get!
