The Hermitage is an untouched heavily-wooded property, nestled on the banks of the Abercrombie River.
The campsites are shared with kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, deer, and of course turtles and fish in the river.
Fish or swim in the river, ride your bikes, or set up camp and then head off on an adventure walk including the Blue Mountains National Park to the south of the river.
The Abercrombie River is known for gold and gemstones, so if you're into panning, there's some good spots along the river.
There are plenty of opportunities for 4WDing and bushwalking in the local area.
Fires are allowed (fire restrictions permitting) within the designated areas.
Wood can be collected from fallen wood around the property, or bring your own if you prefer.
Pets are welcome for a one-off fee per animal.
We are in the early stages of our Hipcamp journey and there are plans to make for a much more enjoyable experience. All monies will be re-invested into facilities.
There is no mobile reception at this location.
There are no toilets at this location (yet).

Until such time that we can improve the road in, it's safest to limit campers to 4WD only. There will be a plan to grade the road and the suitability of access will be re-assessed then.
This is a brand-new listing, and it is short on infrastructure. In the sense, that there is none. As time goes by, a toilet will be added as well as other camp necessities. Your feedback will go along way to helping us make this space more enjoyable but ensuring we keep the "escape" feel to it.
There are two dedicated fire pit locations, and we ask that you never leave a fire unattended, as well as comply with local fire bans. The statutory Bush Fire Danger Period for Rural Fire Districts runs from 1 October to 31 March, however these dates may vary due to local conditions.
Before lighting the fire ensure that:
* it can be contained and controlled within the specified area * it does not contain toxic materials, such as rubber tyres, plastics, paint, etc; and * it must not cause an air pollution problem by producing excessive amounts of smoke.
You must also check: * whether a No Burn day has been declared * whether a Total Fire Ban is in force * the expected weather conditions.
There is low Telstra signal near the front gate at the road entrance, but no mobile reception at the river itself. Please keep this in mind in the event of emergency.
