Tent site · Sleeps 2
Absolutely! I’d keep it friendly and appealing, while making the “smallest/lowest cost” feel like a positive rather than a limitation.
Site 6 is tucked away in our 4WD section and makes a great little couples getaway. Private, peaceful and surrounded by bush views, it’s a lovely spot to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy a bit of time in nature.
As our smallest site, and the only non-grassed site, it’s also our most affordable option. It’s ideal for rooftop campers, small two-person tents or swags, and is perfect for those who don’t need a large camping area but still want a quiet and private bush setting.
We’re a brand-new camping site, having only opened in September 2026, so there are no reviews just yet. Our very first guest stayed at Site 6 during a private function and absolutely loved the spot – hopefully you will too!

Canoelands Valley campsite offers a peaceful escape with stunning views, making it a perfect spot for a weekend retreat. The host, Debbie, is known for her friendly and accommodating nature, ensuring clear communication and guidance for guests. While the amenities are basic, they are well-maintained, and the campsite is easy to find and close to the city, adding to its appeal. Some guests noted the pricing might be a bit high for the offered facilities, but the overall experience remains positive with guests eager to return.
Debbie was the most welcoming host. Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend in nature. Highly recommend to anyone who needs a quick getaway from Sydney. Touch grass. Glorious views.
The most perfect camp for a break from chaos of the city!
Wow it was so so peaceful and a such beautiful site with so many birds and the views were amazing.
Debbie was so communicative and I felt very safe event though I was solo camping.
Easy to find, clear instructions, great communication, and a peaceful campsite! I would say it’s a little on the pricier side as there are very basic amenities (portaloo).
Excellent spot and super attentive host. She truly wants you to have a good time and leaves no room for confusion! Will recommend this spot and revisit myself.
Stayed at site 2 and had heaps of space and great views. Enjoyed enjoying a fire in the provided fire pits, very peaceful, great weekend away and my dog loved it. Debbie was very friendly and accommodating.
We had a wonderful stay at Debbie’s land. The place was beautiful, peaceful and very relaxing. We really enjoyed our time there and would definitely love to come back. Highly recommended! 🌿✨
The property was gorgeous and the host was lovely and left a clear little handbook at the gate which I thought was really sweet:) Thankyou for our stay!
The area and view were stunning. The camping grounds were well maintained and comfortable to set up on. The ammenities provided were accessible and clean. Debbie was also very easy to talk to and chat with. Would 100% recommend!
We had a fantastic stay at Debbie’s Hipcamp! Debbie was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and made us feel very welcome from the start.
We stayed at Site 4, which was absolutely gorgeous - peaceful and private. The portaloo was also very clean and conveniently located, which made our stay even more comfortable.
We would definitely come back again and highly recommend Debbie’s Hipcamp to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!
My friends and I loved our stay at Canoelands Valley camping. Check in was easy, the campsite had a beautiful view of the valley, and it was in a quiet, private area which was great. Good facilities and location, with lots to do in the nearby area. Highly recommend!
Fantastic stay. Facilities - toilet & sink - were very clean and easily walkable from the campsite (4).
Upon arrival, welcome and instructions were printed for us to access easily on our stay.
Would recommend to friends and would come again ourselves!
Stayed for one night and we really enjoyed our time, drive up was great and our site had amazing views over trees and the valley. We were lucky to even see a great sunset. Feels relatively private and what a very lovely host :) Can’t wait to come back!
Absolutely amazing place to stay, quiet and peaceful with some beautiful wildlife. Debbie was amazing and incredibly helpful, even setting up a marquee for us before we arrived to have some respite from the rain. Would absolutely visit again and for longer next time!!
This is our second time staying on site 1 with our dog. Instructions from Debbie were clear and the site was clean and tidy. We had a great , quiet and relaxing 3 day stay.
