Off-leash friendly

Pets can be off-leash at this Hipcamp.

We live on 12 acres (6 useable acres as the rest is creek and cliff face). The backdrop is trees and cliff face and on the otherside is the train tracks. It's important that you are aware that the train line is active both day and less frequent at night but there is some nice associated with that. During your stay you are welcome use the toilet block with a proper toilet. In the available paddock there is shade from trees as well as a home made fire pitt in the cooler months.Welcome to Durham Lodge Farm The camp paddock is about 100 meters from the main house and is a private area of the property due to the trees and bushland surrounding. We ask that you don't wander around the house area and stick between the camp paddock and where the bathroom is located. There is a tight turn coming off the bridge which is why it's only suitable for cars, camper trailers and pop up tents. We are not far from the Hume Highway, so it's a convenient stop if heading through Sydney, but you don't want to hit much traffic. You just turn off the Hume Highway and then the next turn is into our lane. Coles, K-mart, coffee shops, and cafes are less than 5 minutes away with Aldi and Wollies being 10 minutes drive. There is an active train line bordering the paddock (trees line in between), so be aware there is noise associated with that. It's also important to keep good supervision of dogs and young kids for this reason. Apart from fire bans, you are welcome to light a fire, but please bring your own wood. You are welcome to forage in the paddock for wood and sticks during your stay. You will have access to a tap in the adjacent paddock to get water via a blue drinking hose. Some local activities include the Dingo Sanctury in Bargo, the Picton Go Karting Track, Picton Biotanic Gardens, Thirlmere Lakes National Park, Cedar Creek Orchard and very popular Skydiving. We do have an infinity pool on the property which we went out through Swimply so happy to send you that booking page if you would like to hire it.

The camp was as advertised. It's a good area mostly surrounded by trees, however it is right on the train line and does have quite a lot of passing trains

Exclusive Camping

Host are hospitable and kind. The camping ground is not as wide, but you still get the vibe of camping. Good for a night stay. You get all the privacy you need with just a sound of nature and noise of train at night which doesnt bother us. We got the place all for ourselves!

Site was ok. Understand they like to keep it in its natural state but the grassed area for camping was a tad too high. The Husband of the wife came down to greet us and was nice enough. We brought our own fire wood but soon burnt through that. Was Offered more for fire wood if we need any, and when requested heard nothing back, we ended up sourcing some logs after roaming the area for a bit. Overall it’s a 6/10 at best. Communication from host wasn’t great via the app and the camp site was over grown.

I didn’t read the description very well and we had a Jayco expander caravan, the hosts were every helpful work getting us in but it’s definitely not suitable for a caravan. Was a lovely private paddock, very active train line very close made me nervous with the kids Hour drive to Sydney along the highway (easy drive) Price was somewhat reasonable Thanks for the stay

We had a lovely stay. There is a great little camp fire with seating. Toilet is a short walk from the site. There is a trainline and the trains do run during the night but it didn't disturb us. The only disappointing thing was that we picked a wet weekend to go. We will visit again in better weather!
