Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
The Gulf is a 965-acre property situated near Wombeyan Caves in NSW. It's a fantastic property and wider region to explore, and enjoy an authentic Aussie bush camping experience. There's the Gulf Creek nearby that you can get to by 4x4 or you can go fishing, bushwalking, swimming, bike riding or horse riding. We offer two camping areas, that have enough space for multiple groups. One is higher up with great views, and access for caravans and camper trailers and the like. The other camping area is down by the creek but really only accessible for those with a 4X4, swags, rooftop tents etc. Plenty of fallen timber you are welcome to collect for firewood. All campers need to be self-sufficient at this time as we don't currently offer toilet facilities.These sites are suitable for those in caravans and camper trailers and the like. This area is up near the main hut with good shelter in a gully and with a dam nearby the horse paddock. There is plenty of firewood, shade, and water from the dam. There is a 2km track down to the beautiful creek, but it's quite steep to come back up, so you're welcome to drive down in your 4X4 to a beautiful spot with fishing nearby and a big flat area, ideal for having a picnic. Please note - we also accept camping at this spot for those in swags, tents etc. This creek area is not suitable for caravans/campertrailers. Phone reception is limited so UHF radios recommended. All campers must have their own toilet facilities.

Firstly, Stuart was lovely and met us at the gate after being lost for 4 hours and took us to site. Unfortunately this is the only positive we have for this property!! The add says Mittagong and it is 1.5hours away from mittagong, the directions are extremely unclear and whilst the add says 4wd to get to river please do not attempted to even enter the property at all without a 4wd. We traveling in two groups both with proper 4wd and camper trailers, camper trailers of any size are not suitable for this property, one of us got stuck and the both did a lot of damage trying to enter and exit the property. One the tracks to site there was a tractor broken down in the middle of the road and and we had to navigate around that and the area we were meant to stay was so overgrown it was impossible to even set up a table to sit outside. Unfortunately we had to leave first thing the morning after we arrived when we were meant to stay 4 nights.

Incredible spot down on the creek, nice big area for plenty of people and a big fire. River was beautiful and perfect for swimming. Stuart was a great host and super helpful.

Awesome views from the top of the mountain, will be even better once the junk is cleaned up from the area around the hut. If wet, 100% need 4WD to get there. Stuart is a wonderful host with great local knowledge and was very responsive! Must be self contained to camp here. Recommend for campers without caravans and who are self contained (own water/toilet/power). Looking forward to going again in dry weather to be able to get down to the river!

Well worth the descent down to the Gulf site. Nice big open camp area to spread out if you have a large group, the river is close by and we caught some trout. Was good to have a yarn with Stuart, he is also very knowledgeable of the surrounding 4wd trails.

Fantastic camping nearby the creek
We camped with a group of 14 people at the creek. Plenty of space and very private as we were the only group down there. Swimming in the water hole and building a nice campfire were the highlights. The track to the creek camping spot is very steep and only suitable for 4WDs with low range and decent clearance. Stuart was also a fantastic host.

The camping site near the dam was serene and provided a great deal of shelter from the wind and heat. Was an excellent escape from the hustle and bustle of Sydney. Stuart was an excellent and considerate host who called ahead to assist with directions after a road closure in the area. Would highly recommend this property for any dedicated and well equipped 4WDer - was worth the trek just for the 180 degree panoramic view on the mountain top when you arrive at Stuart’s place. is guaranted to take your breath away.
