Enjoy our little getaway down by the Hawkesbury River only 10 minutes from historic Windsor. A beautiful river shack for your use exclusively, including fire pit with direct access to the Hawkesbury river. Bring your caravans, tent or swag - all are welcome! Unfortunately, boats are not.

Groups are welcome here to enjoy the time with their family and friends, play a little music and relax by the river. The river can get busy (which is great after the floods as it has been dead for so long) and so can the road across the river but if you are enjoying your family and friends you won't even notice! We have one basic toilet, and one river water shower available too! Please bring your own drinking water. You can bring your dogs, but they must be on a leash at all times. We have three little puppies that love to roam their property. We lock them up sometimes but most of the time they are just running around having fun.

We had a great time camping with four families! It’s a nice spot by the Hawkesbury River, and we loved having the whole place to ourselves. Everything is really well set up, with a covered dining area, pizza oven, BBQ, plenty of space to prepare food, a lovely fire pit and a clean bathroom that even has a hot shower! What made it especially easy for us was the location. It’s close to Sydney, with supermarkets and other conveniences only about 15 minutes away. It’s not remote camping, but that’s the trade-off, especially for families with kids. You get your own private spot by the river and all the fun of camping, with plenty of thoughtful conveniences.

Great place. What I love is that you have the whole place to yourself. It's well set up. Weather won't really be a problem with plenty of undercover space with a fireplace, two dinning areas and lounge. Toilet, shower sink for wasing up, basic, but serviceable. Plenty of room to set up on flat ground. What more could you want.

Fantastic spot! Included a great shelter including a bbq, fridge, a few tables and fire pit which all came in handy. Nice spot to go fishing and enjoy the view. Megan offered great add ons such as firewood, early check in and even mentioned that we could stay later as she didn’t have guests staying the day we were leaving. Nothing negative to say about my experience and would definitely book again!

I absolutely love coming back to this campsite! It’s truly the best we’ve been to. Megan and Trevor were simply amazing. Love the exclusivity, and they had put a lot of thought into building the site. Hot water available, flushable toilet, amazing undercover area, very well done and organised! Not to mention, a powered fridge. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic camping adventure!

We had a wonderful stay at Megans property. We are seasoned campers, but it was really awesome for a change instead of being completely off grid, to have some essentials provided. I LOVED the hot shower, huge sink for washing up, the fridge, undercover area, fireplace, tables, pizza oven (which we cooked damper in) and all the little touches around the place. It was still camping but just a little bit easier. Megan was also such a lovely welcoming host. We will 100% be back! Thank you so much Megan :)

This is our third time staying here and it will not be our last. As always, Megan and Trevor are amazing hosts. We have had exceptional weather on each occasion and even when there was a little rain, the amenities are so great that you are completely covered. The optional fireplace inside and outside. The fridge, pizza oven, tables / chairs. There is not much you want for. Highly recommend.

This was to date the best camp site we have visited with our 3 children. The hosts Megan and Trevor could not be more hospitable and did everything they could to make our stay fantastic. We will definitely return. Thanks again for the great trip the kids cannot wait to get back!

Had 3 nights here on our 2nd visit and will be back again. Great location on the Hawkesbury, superb open walled shed with a big fire place, outdoor firepit. Facilities are fantastic, toilet and hot shower, sinks for washing up. Lovely hosts and great communication. Only 5 mins drive to pub, IGA, bakery.

It was absolutely fabulous! Way better than expected. For a group, this is IDEAL!!! When the add said “river shower”, I was a bit worried however, it more means a view of the river! The shower was HOT!! It was way better than expected. We had a group of 9 young children and they all were so happy, played the entire time and parents relaxed.

Lovely spot. Great facilities. When I went it was pretty rainy and the set up was great. Heaps of shelter, with tables and chairs aswell as some basic kitchen things. There’s a bit of road noise from across the river during the day but it’s quiet at night.

We had a great time with friends at Down by the Hawkesbury. The communal area with fireplace, pizza oven, fire pit, fridge, string lights and power is a fantastic space to hang out. Hot shower and toilet great (note: need to bring own toilet paper). There is a big grass area behind where the kids can run wild and they had a great time playing in the river. The hosts kindly chopped wood for us (for a fee), which saved us having to try fit wood in the car with all our gear. You do need to be aware that on the other side of the river is a busy road so you do get the sound of traffic throughout the day as well as on the river (jet skis etc).

Amazing camping spot right on the Hawkesbury River. Beautiful surroundings, clean facilities, and plenty of space to relax. The toilets and showers were well maintained, and the whole place felt peaceful and family-friendly. Friendly hosts and the cutest dogs made the stay even better. Perfect for a few nights away — we’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

A well maintained site with fantastic facilities. The huge undercover area was fabulous during our stay as we had rain on and off and we were all able to gather together. The undercover fire place and pizza oven were also enjoyed. We brought along our inflatable SUP and Kayak and were able to use these in the river, however be mindful there is motorised watercraft using the river also. We had a really enjoyable stay with our family. (3 couples)
