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.

Made great memories at Jila with our child and friends, stayed Friday and Saturday night. Great facilities and location. Throwing the ball around the shallow water whilst kids play in the sand a highlight. Several other groups were there but heaps of peace and quiet. Very chill. Cheers and we'll be back!

Great spot. Bring a fly net!
Loved the spot, really beautiful area, amazing to take the family to as well. Kids loved the water and the soccer field. Only downside is the flies are crazy to the point we couldn’t eat outside during lunch cause there were hundreds of flies.

Beautiful spot by the river!
Jila Camp was a great first off grid experience for us. Campsites are all along the river with your own fire pit. Plenty of fire wood around, bring an axe, or bring your own firewood. Bring a shovel for the cow patties. Sites are big so you can be totally separate from other campers. Or bring a group for a great family friendly time. You’re only 10 minutes from Richmond but it feels like you are hours away from civilisation. Sunrise is beautiful and you can hear all the birds, you are truly connecting with nature. Beautiful tall trees surround the camp, shady as well. But you can pick sunny spots too. The river is amazing, sandy and pebbly. Shallow enough in sections to play with the kids for hours. Awesome for small kids. Dog friendly. Phil’s dog is so friendly, he came for a visit. My girls loved him. Suitable for most vehicles, 4WD and AWD best. Even saw a 24ft caravan, so accessible for off road or semi off road caravans. Secluded yet you felt comfortable and the place has a welcoming friendly energy. Was a pleasure staying here. Will be back.

We stayed at Jila in October with 4 families and we had such a blast. The nearby shallow river was especially a hit with the kids. The site was clean and the fact that we could gather firewood and have an open fire was the best. Thanks Philip!

Perfect for any and all!
Fantastic stay at Jila camp grounds. Spacious camp spots, good flat areas, all sorts of kids activities from soccer field to paddleboards. Great bass fishing on the Grose river and beautiful sandy spots to relax on. Not to mention only an hour from Sydney and you feel like you’re a world away. Very tidy amenities and the glamping set ups looked well worth it as well. Phil the host is super accomodating and doing some incredible work for the beyond blue charity. Thanks Phil, I will definitely be back

Really loved our time here. We were mid week so very quiet. Alot of space. The river is beautiful with a lot of shallow spots for the dogs and deeper holes to swim in. A lot of wood for fire around the place. Great bushwalk leading out of the property.
