Our grounds are designed to cater to the needs of families, with designated family-friendly areas and activities suitable for all ages.

Imagine spending a lazy afternoon on the water, teaching your kids to fish or paddling along the gentle current. It's an idyllic setting for aquatic family adventures. Riverside Camping: With over 600 meters of riverside campsites spread across 50 acres of lush bushland, you'll find the perfect spot to set up your tent or park your camper.

We provide plenty of firewood to keep the flames dancing, creating the perfect atmosphere for storytelling and bonding. And when the season is right, don't forget to grab some homegrown avocados or contribute a small donation for kayak hire—all proceeds go to Beyond Blue, supporting mental health initiatives.

Jila Campground is a family-friendly spot that many visitors find ideal for a peaceful getaway. The river and natural surroundings are a big hit, providing ample activities for kids and adults alike, such as kayaking and playing in open spaces. While most reviews are positive, highlighting the well-maintained facilities and beautiful setting, a few mention challenges with access roads and occasional noise from other campers. Overall, it’s a popular choice for those looking to enjoy nature close to the city, with the added charm of farm animals nearby.

Nice camp site. The river is absolute wonderful. The amenities leave a bit to be desired and will expect a higher level given the price. Drive in wiiid be best handed in a 4wd, tbh we did struggle in our standard sedan. The property has cows and sheep wondering , nice touch though the downfall is a lot of how poo and sooo many flies.

Photos didn't do it justice, the river was great and the kids loved it. They also set up a blow up side which was a lot of fun. The spots were open and although it was busy you always had space. Showers, toilets and washing areas were well looked after, it rained a bit while we were there and it got a bit muddy in sections but nothing you couldn't work around. The cattle had been through the site and there was plenty of cow pats so the smell and flies were fruity at times. Definitely would come back and recommend it highly

Outstanding little getaway. Toilet facilities and access to the river was fantastic. The place is clean and plenty of wildlife and farm animals to see and hear. Vehicular access to the campgrounds may need to be advertised as 4wd access only. There is also sporadic phone reception for those wondering. Highly recommend Jila Campground we will be back when the weather warms up for sure!

This is an absolute gem of a spot, that you wouldn't necessarily expect with its proximity to the city. We would love to go back, especially in warmer weather to play in the river some more. There was plentiful space to camp, with several areas of level ground for caravans to set up with a bit of looking around. They provide kids kayaks for the river for just a gold coin donation (which goes to a mental health charity from memory!), you can purchase eggs and firewood for your arrival, bins are available for rubbish disposal and there is a little ropes course and sportsground, as well as toilets. They also had glamping tents! It was super quiet for the end of school holidays so we had a really peaceful and lovely time. It's also only 10ish minutes drive from Richmond which we were surprised to find had just about everything you could want. I would just caution that those with decent sized vans be careful in the wet as the track in was a bit slippery with the van on the way in, due to some recent rain, but the owners were kind enough to allow us to exit via the track of their private property which was concreted as we didn't want to risk slipping off the track on the way back up with a toddler, pregnant passenger and the whole rig (oh and the husband/driver). Thank you very much for being so accommodating, providing such a beautiful and well maintained campground and again for being understanding of our worry about exiting with the van via the 4WD track.

It was a great experience camping at Jila Campgrounds. It was easy to find and get into. We arrived and drove around to find a good spot. The other reviews are correct, there’s very few spots that are flat, but the incline isn’t horrible that you’re unable to camp. We bought our dog for his first camp trip. I wish I knew about the cows and sheep that free roam and the guardian dog that protects the chickens so we could prepare our dog better since he was very alert throughout the night due to the noises the animals were making. The camp ground also echoes and you could hear everything. It was wonderful for us to be immersed in nature, not so great for our puppy. The toilets were in the middle of the campsite and there are 4 overall. No showers that we saw. There’s also a big spot for you to put your rubbish which was very convenient. Overall a good experience!

A gorgeous spot for a long weekend away off grid camping and so close to home. It was quiet, private and very peaceful. The surrounds are stunning and situated by the river. Would I go back……yes and would I recommend this place? Most definitely. My only negative is the toilets located near the Kayak hut do not have working locks or lights for the night.

Great experience at Jila Campground, well deserving of 5 out of 5 stars. Location is excellent, only less than 40 minutes from home, with a beautiful riverside setting. The accessibility of firewood was very helpful and made things easier during our stay, and we were also happy to share with other campers on a cold night. We always take pride in leaving our campsite clean and organised. We even brought a rake to tidy up leaves and small branches in the morning to help protect our tent area. What we really appreciated was how flexible the cancellation policy was and how simple the camping rules are. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the neighbours were very friendly and easy going, which made the experience even better compared to other sites where things can be quite strict, like not being able to play music after 9pm. Facilities were impressive, especially the tap water right next to our site, very clean toilets, and the added fun of the kayak and water slide. Highly recommended. Thanks for a great experience.

Great 2 night stay at the glamping site. The campsite was clean; the toilets were well maintained. It’s a beautiful place to camp for a couple of nights. The campground is at the bottom of the hill. We loved the stay with our two kids under 6.
