Peaceful and Picturesque
Such welcoming and friendly hosts who went out of their way to ensure a wonderful stay. Location wise… perfectly peaceful, so private and picturesque. On the doorstep of Watagan State Forest and plenty of picnic and day trip options. 100% recommend without hesitation.

A lovely spot not too far from Sydney. Very well maintained. Unfortunately this meant we had a lot of noise during our Easter break from blowers, mowers and quad vehicles, all very close to where we were camping. When we politely asked on our third day of this whether the noise would stop on Sunday afternoon, we were quite surprised by the hostility it created. We had booked the three camp sites for our large group but didn’t end up using them all since there was a lot of space. We were a little annoyed they let out one of the sites we had paid for when they saw we weren’t using them all. This meant more people to share the facilities which we did not think was very fair. Overall a nice place, great pool and facilities but we felt let down by the above.

The cabin itself was clean and well stocked. The amenities were excellent. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately it wasn't as peaceful as I expected. There was garden maintenance going on every day of the weekend. I think with the name we expected to it be more rural than it was.

Beautiful gardens and generous host
Our family loved camping at Carole and Dee's property. It is an extremely well-maintained, spacious land, with tall trees and lots of wildlife. The hosts were extremely welcoming and generous with their time. And the amenities were top class and very clean. We'd only booked for one night, ended up staying for two - and struggling to leave on day two! :) We will definitely try to book it again!

Overall we had a lovely time listening to the birds after 4pm after the neighbours 50 metres away from our campsite finished with their grinder for the day. Unfortunately 9am this (Sunday morning) they were at it again. If this was included as a warning in the description I would have had the choice to book elsewhere. Facilities were lovely & clean. Didn’t meet the host.

A magnificent stay
A wonderful place to set up my campervan - lovely setting, magnificent facilities, and a great location - while a pool, wonderful shower, landscaped gardens and sculpture, and first class camp kitchen may be above and beyond normal camping expectations they were greatly appreciated ☺️

This property is gorgeous. We didn’t get to meet Dee, but Carol was a fantastic host, and is packed full of great stories. Unfortunately we couldn’t stay more than one night, but hopefully can return in the near future. Unlike other places, depending on the site you select there are other elements to enjoy (pool!) and complete bathroom (luxury for the self sufficient car campers). Thanks again!

A magical spot for families
What can we say…a family of 2 kids, 2 teens plus 2 little furbabies, our stay here exceeded our expectations. We camped (had one big 10 person tent, plus 3 smaller ones) among the trees and were tucked away enough for privacy and connection to nature, but close enough to the fantastic amenities - perfect for big families - there’s a lovey communal kitchen and bathroom/shower facilities, and the gorgeous pool. For a family with kids camping, these facilities really made a difference and added ease and enjoyment. Even when it rained (poured!) during our trip, being close to nature and the trees, huddled in our tent was so nice. Carol was wonderful and assisted us as required, and we even got to have many wonderful chats about life and her wonderful property. A truly magical spot, thank you Carol and Dee for your hospitality.

Great HipCamp, worth the dollars!
Great HipCamp & worth spending the extra dollars for the facilities. The bathroom and amenities were great, & I even used the dishwasher! Despite it being abit on the cooler side our son enjoyed the pool & mixed with other guests. Carol & Dee are wonderful hosts & everything was super easy. Thank you for having us. We will stay here again! 5/5.

Camping with sounds of nature
Loved camping here! The owners were lovely and so helpful, met us along the road to show us to the campsite and gave us all the info we needed. The campsite was nice and we were able to access it easily by car and set up on level ground! Would definitely recommend this spot, we even saw wallabies on the way there. You can hear the wind, birds etc all throughout the day and night.

absolutely perfect
From the moment we arrived to what can only be described as a heavenly location, Carol and Dee treated our small family with warmth - they bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we needed. The property is stunning, with only 3 campsites one doesn't feel cramped - plenty of space to be the recluses we needed to be. Every little thing was considered, my fellow campmates (hubby and daughter) weren't excit4ed by the idea of camping, by the time we left they were converted. Thank you Carol and Dee for what was perfect few days away, we will definitely be back!

Camping oasis
We had the most amazing camping stay at Mist in the Gumtrees with Carol & Dee. We only wished we were staying for longer! Carol & Dee have created a beautiful oasis. So much love and dedication has been put into the property and it really shows. The amenities are the best we have ever experienced while camping! So beautiful & clean and well thought out. It really felt like glamping!! What a treat while camping. Our campsite was tranquil and private. We saw an array of wildlife right outside our tent, so special! Carol & Dee were delightful and welcoming, so happy to share their knowledge and stop for a chat which really added to the experience. The campsites are lovely and flat and shady and absolutely perfect camping. Our son loved the pool! We can’t wait to stay again!
