Escape to your own private pocket of virgin bushland, featuring a spacious, flat clearing ideal for your off-grid setup. Enjoy sweeping views across the river, valley, and surrounding native forest, with wildlife regularly spotted throughout the property. Or just sit around the campfire and relax. We are PET FRIENDLY. Lots of local attractions; swimming, gold prospecting, truffle hunting, bushwalking, day trips to the coast, Braidwood, Goulburn, Bungonia, even Canberra and much more. A great nearby Nerriga country pub (breakfasts, lunches and dinners). All guest bookings go in the annual draw for a free stay of the same duration. Bonus entry if you refer another booking. Access is easy via 2WD, yet the site feels wonderfully secluded. Please note: campers must be fully self-contained and bring their own toilet. You’ll be just minutes from the iconic Nerriga Pub and the Oallen Ford swimming and gold-fossicking area, with Braidwood, Goulburn, and even Canberra all within day-trip distance. The region is filled with things to explore—from local wineries and a truffle farm to beautiful bushwalks and plenty of hidden gems. It’s a peaceful base for nature lovers, adventurers, and anyone wanting to switch off and unwind. Firewood is provided, and your pets are welcome to join you!Enjoy exclusive use of this very private and secure bushland site, completely hidden from the outside world. The camp area features a spacious, near-flat circular clearing with beautiful views over the Corang River and surrounding valley — the perfect spot to relax and immerse yourself in nature. Please note: campers must be fully self-contained and bring their own toilet. Despite its seclusion, the site is just minutes from Nerriga village, offering the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. Pets and campfires permitted. Check local fire restrictions before lighting your fire. This is a bush environment so supervise pets and especially your children. Campfires MUST be contained, small(fully within the stone circle) and at the centre of the clearing.

River View Bush Retreat
We had a lovely peaceful camp at Jon’s place. It was very private and we woke up to the beautiful sounds of a lyre bird each morning. The view of the river makes it an even more special spot and the host Jon was very accommodating and responsive. It was quite hot when we visited - mid-high 30s - and while unfortunately for us the creek was dry at the time it was a short easy drive for a swim at Oallen Ford instead. Looking forward to our next stay.

River View Bush Retreat
This is a really beautiful spot. Really peaceful and feels like you’re a million miles from anywhere but Braidwood is an easy 40 minute drive away and Oallen Ford is just down the road. Clear sky for star gazing .Great little spot to relax and unwind. We thoroughly enjoyed taking our dogs for walks and swims along the creek. Nerriga Pub is open in the morning for coffee also Lunch & Dinner 5 minutes from site.Went home via Nowra & Kangaroo Valley . Looking forward to another visit
