Amazing views
Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
Family-friendly
Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.
100 acres of secluded paradise with a kilometer of free flowing pebbled creek. Bound on two sides by the craggy escarpments of the Budgong and Morton National Parks there is ample grassland to give a feeling of space yet an abundance of trees to wander through as you engage with the tame wildlife and magnificent birdlife. Bring your mountain bike, fishing rod, swimmers, hiking boots, tennis racket, basketball (a hoop on the tennis court) or climbing gear and leave the kids in the play area while you sit by the creek and listen to the water tumbling through the rocks. If you are as intrigued by rare animals as we are, then this is the place for you. 63 Bird species, 24 mammals, 16 reptiles, and 12 amphibians have been sighted in the area (Clarke 2012) and this includes many rare and endangered species including the platypus, brush-tailed rock wallaby, Giant burrowing frog, Gang-gang cockatoo, Glossy black-cockatoo, Koala, Little Lorikeet and the Yellow-bellied glider. We only have five campsites at present, so you will be guaranteed peace, space and privacy. with a minimum of 300m between all sites. Please note, that your group must be self-contained, with their own camp toilet, however fresh drinking water is available. Access is into a valley on a well maintained unsealed road but there are some minor causeways making it unsuitable for busses or long low slung vans. An ordinary sedan will do for Billabong and Dad's camp sites but you will need some power for towing and a 4x4 to tow out in any rain. Riverbend and the Crossing sites are only suitable for 4x4's and off-road vans / trailers. You are a 40 minute drive from the sea (try the Shoalhaven 100 beach challenge [xxxxxxxx] ) and just 15km from the historical town of Kangaroo Valley with its myriad of water activities, golf, wine estates, and quaint shopping. ttps://[xxxxxxxx]

Billabong Camp

RV/tent site · Sleeps 12 · Vehicles under 7 m
A large campsite (700 square meters) right up against the bubbling Budgong Creek (keep your eyes open for the platypus), surrounded by trees and with as much firewood as you can gather. There is a woodfired hottub to soak in but the real star of the show is the creek, with the splashing of the water making the perfect backdrop to your break away. This site is the best for children being reasonably close to the play area and basketball /tennis court. The more adventurous should seek out the swimming holes and bring a mask to see the Bass and other fish underwater. This site has a tap (creek water) and a half-drum BBQ with rustic log seating making for the perfect evening under the stars. Breakfast at the picnic table overlooking the creek, a billabong with birdlife, and a short walk to the kid's playground, functional tennis court (with a basketball hoop), and the farm shed (with fresh water and free high speed wifi). Enjoy the Wombat Hollow freedom of 100 acres of grassy open space to yourself while camping amongst the trees. (The closest campsite to you is 200 meters away with ample forests in between giving all the space and privacy you could want) This site is easily accessible by 2wd vehicles unless its been raining heavily or you are towing something heavy (well surfaced but untarred roads into a valley). Note: You must have your own toilet facilities. Please confirm when you book that you are self sufficient in this regard so I can process your booking quicker.

This large campsite (600 square meters) really is the gem of the Wombat Hollow experience. Nestled on a 90 degree bend of the Budgong Creek (keep your eyes open for the platypus), surrounded by trees and with as much firewood as you can gather (feel free to bring an electric chainsaw), your day and evening walks are guaranteed to give you sightings of a host of local animals including wallabies, eastern greys and the cute and plentiful wombats. The real stars of the show are the wood fired hot-tub and the creek, with the burbling of the water over the nearby pebbles making the perfect backdrop to your break away. The more adventurous should seek out the 2 very close swimming holes and bring a mask to see the Bass and other fish underwater. A half-drum BBQ makes for the perfect evening under the stars followed by breakfast at the picnic table overlooking the creek. For the kids its a short walk to the playground and trampoline, functional tennis court (with a basketball hoop), and for adults to stay connected the farm shed has free high speed WIFI. The shed also has treated creek water water but this site has a tap with creek water to fill up the hot tub / do your dishes etc. The closest campsite is 160m away from you with ample trees in between giving all the space and privacy you could want on the 100 acres. This site has a steep causeway and some tree roots to get over. I've seen a Toyota Camry make it to the site but if its raining or you are towing something heavy, you would need a 4x4. This is not a good site for long or low slung caravans. Note: You must have your own toilet facilities. Please confirm when you book that you are self sufficient in this regard so I can process your booking quicker.

Dad's Camp

RV/tent site · Sleeps 20 · Vehicles under 12 m
This massive campsite is right up against the bubbling Budgong Creek (keep your eyes open for the platypus). The sound of the water washing over the pebbles is the gem of the Dad's Camp experience. Surrounded by trees and in its own 7 acre paddock, with as much firewood as you can gather, your day and evening walks are guaranteed to give you sightings of a host of local animals including the cute and plentiful wombats. Chatting around the half drum fire on raised logs as the evening stars appear makes for the perfect ending to a day spent in your own private shallow swimming area at this campsite. (bring a mask to see the Bass and other fish underwater at the swimming holes). For the kids its a medium walk to the playground and trampoline, functional tennis court, and for adults to stay connected the farm shed has free high speed WIFI (and potable water). The campsites are all very far apart with the closest site being 200 meters away and ample trees in between giving all the space and privacy you could want on the 100 acres. This site is easily accessible by 2wd vehicles unless there has been a lot of rain (untarred but well surfaced road into a valley) or you are towing a very heavy trailer. Note: You must have your own toilet facilities. Please confirm when you book that you are self sufficient in this regard so I can process your booking quicker.

RV/tent site · Sleeps 6 · Vehicles under 5 m
A smaller, secluded campsite ideal for a single trailer / family with the best views on the farm set on its own 5 acre paddock. The elevated view of the surrounding escarpments and trees make the perfect backdrop to your early evening sundowners. Your water options include a short walk to the river or a private trail behind the site leading to an often flowing waterfall. Amenities are a half-drum firepit and a large picnic table. (You need to be self sufficient for a toilet). This site is only accessible by 4wd vehicles if you are towing anything as the last 160m is unsealed at 1:10 gradient. The site receives direct sunlight from late morning. On the farm the 3km of creek frontage is the star of the show (keep your eyes open for the platypus) but we also have a billabong with birdlife, a kid's playground, functional tennis court (with a basketball hoop), and the farm shed (with fresh water and high speed wifi). Enjoy the freedom of 100 acres of grassy open space while camping amongst the trees.

This large campsite (700 square meters) in its own 4 acre paddock is one of the best parts of the Wombat Hollow experience. Opening for Xmas 2025, The T shaped site allows groups to camp with direct and easy access to your own waist deep swimming hole in the Budgong Creek (keep your eyes open for the platypus) . Surrounded by trees giving total privacy with as much firewood as you can gather (feel free to bring an electric chainsaw), your day and evening walks are guaranteed to give you sightings of a host of local animals including wallabies, eastern greys and the cute and plentiful wombats.

My first solo rural camping trip and one I definitely won’t forget! Wombat Hollow is absolutely beautiful. I stayed at ‘Dads Camp’ — peaceful, private, surrounded by nature and the perfect place to completely switch off. Vallance was a fantastic host and made me feel incredibly welcome. Safe to say my weekend was amazing.. with a few unexpected highlights. Thanks Vallance, for a very memorable stay.

Had an amazing weekend staying at the Riverbend campsite on Vallance's property with some friends. Wildlife is in abundance, kids loved exploring the property, enjoyed the hot tub and the tractor ride provided by Vallance! Place was so peaceful and I loved hearing all the birds in the morning. I would highly recommend coming here. We'll definitely be back! We had the perfect weather at a magical location 😊

The Crossing
We really enjoyed our stay at Vallance's beautiful property, and Vallance was an excellent host who went out of his way to make us welcome and comfortable. The property is very picturesque with abundant bird- and wildlife. We enjoyed the serenity surrounded by wombats and kangaroos and saw all sorts of birds, including raptors, a resident squawking white-faced heron flying over each day, wattlebirds, magpies, and rosellas, to name a few. A highlight were the giant Lace Monitors, one climbing a tree and another foraging amongst the leaves at a campsite. We definitely felt rejuvenated after being in this environment and would highly recommend for an enjoyable tree-change.

Fantastic spot. Private camping spaces made it feel you had the whole place to yourself. Well kept. The wood fire hot tub was a hit and easy to use. Great host. Would recommend in a larger caravan coming through Nowra rather than Kangaroo Valley if coming from Sydney. We will be back!

Billabong Camp
Booked this for my partner and this was their review: Wonderful secluded spot with picturesque views of the creek. Access is easy going in dry weather for a well prepared 2wd ute or van with high clearance. Facilities at the site include utility tank water, table, bench seats, elevated fire pit, and a hot tub. Likewise, there is sufficient distance between sites for a good degree of privacy and peace. Also, the WiFi access available at the shed is a handy feature to stay in contact with home if the need arises. Greatly enjoyed my 2 night stay, and I intend on returning.

We had an absolutely wonderful weekend away. The campsite was spotless, quiet, and beautifully maintained. There was plenty of space to spread out, enjoy a walk, and take in the peaceful surroundings, with lots of wildlife to watch throughout our stay. The hosts have created a beautiful space that is perfect for anyone wanting to switch off and enjoy nature. Just note that campers do need to be fully self-contained, including having their own toilet facilities, which helps keep the property pristine. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this Hipcamp and will definitely be back. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Absolutely beautiful spot. We stayed in Dads Camp and would absolutely stay here again. Everything we wanted to do was within an easy walk, the tennis court was more of a drive but absolutely could walk we were just being lazy. The paddock is nice and sunny and even in Winter the river at the bottom gets a lovely little pocket of sunshine and makes for a beautiful spot to enjoy the sun and dip your toes in. Thank you for having us
