Welcome to our family-friendly camping haven nestled in the picturesque Grose Valley, just a short drive from Sydney. Our campsite offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and family-friendly activities to create lasting memories for you and your loved ones. Family-Friendly Atmosphere: At our campsite, families are at the heart of everything we do. We understand the importance of creating a safe and enjoyable environment for kids, ensuring that families can bond and create cherished moments together. Our grounds are designed to cater to the needs of families, with designated family-friendly areas and activities suitable for all ages. Respectful Enjoyment: To maintain the family-friendly atmosphere, we kindly request campers to adhere to our quiet hours starting at 9 PM. We discourage those not oriented towards family activities and serene evenings, ensuring everyone can enjoy the tranquility of the natural surroundings. River Adventures: For water enthusiasts, our campsite boasts a pristine river where you can swim, fish, and kayak to your heart's content. 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. Each site provides a secluded and tranquil escape, allowing you to immerse yourself in nature while still enjoying the comforts of a well-maintained camping area. Explore Nature on Foot or Wheels: Nature enthusiasts will delight in the variety of activities available. Embark on a bushwalk, discovering the flora and fauna that call the Grose Valley home. Mountain biking enthusiasts can navigate our trails, exploring the landscape on two wheels. There's always an adventure waiting just beyond your campsite. Campfires and Seasonal Delights: As the sun sets, gather around a crackling campfire with family and friends. 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. Proximity to Richmond: Just a 10-minute drive away lies Richmond, a town with a rich history dating back to the early 19th century. Explore the blend of modern suburbia and historical landmarks, adding a touch of culture to your camping experience. Supporting a Cause: Extra vehicles are welcome with a small fee, and rest assured, all proceeds go to Beyond Blue, supporting mental health awareness and initiatives. Camp Before Sunset: For a stress-free and safe camp setup, we recommend arriving before sunset. This ensures you have ample time to settle in, allowing you to start your camping adventure on a comfortable note. Discover your secluded spot to swim, camp, fish, or simply relax. Join us in the Grose Valley for a camping experience that caters to the whole family, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

So close to Sydney but feel a million miles away. Great for a short break. Good flush toilets, found lots of firewood around. River was lots of fun - kids and dogs enjoyed it (and the adults too). Pick a spot when you arrive - I do prefer to have assigned spots so it’s clear what’s your area and you don’t worry about whether you’re taking up too much space. We preferred the area to the right when you arrive - found the area near the bathrooms was a lot busier but it was also Australia Day weekend. Very little phone reception - but that’s a good thing.

Jila campgrounds is all around and great camping spot and so close to Sydney. It has a great still river with pretty clear water, lovely cows and sheep walking through the property and toilet facilities.

Camp ground is nice with riverbed nearby. But a big group of people staying next to us were laughing and shouting until someone told them to stop late midnight and, they are back on from 6am. Impossible to get any rest not to mention kids usually go to bed earlier. For a family friendly campground this really should not happen. Perhaps a friendly reminder to large group booking would help.

Awesome
My son, the dog and I loved camping at Jila Camp Grounds. The site is great, with amenities and plenty of shade, and the river makes the weekend spectacular. Would recommend and look forward to coming back soon.
