The Hartley Vale Garlic Farm was established in 2018 as an organic garlic farm now owned by James and Michelle and their two children. The farm features a hempcrete building named 'The Stinking Rose' used for drying and curing garlic, that also acts as a big room for garlic feasts during planting (March, April and May each year). The building also houses toilet and shower facilities for guests when camping on site. On some evenings, the sky puts on a real show of golden sun rays with pink, purple and blue clouds while swallows flit across the garden beds catching moths. Our guests like to sit around their campfires watching the spectacular show while kids and dogs run around without the burden of leashes or noise of city traffic.

Lovingly developed for 15 years as a mindful refuge & wildlife corridor by Victoria, a filmmaker/permaculture designer, the property was completely destroyed in 2018. Thus the mega bushfire cycle began impacting forever most of NSW's flora, fauna & people. Nature ultimately prevails & slowly the untamed terrain is healing. After studying at RMIT School of Architecture & Design for three years with the intention to design tiny living house systems better suited for harsh environments, Victoria has returned. Slowly she rebuilds a humble off-grid existence from the burnt-out bus fusing knowledge of building design with her food forests/aquaponics passion, keen to create an environmentally connected experience to share with like-minded others. By staying you are helping her & all the wild things emerge from the ashes. Thank you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No flies on us this winter... Book a stay until the end of July 2023 & get 25% off!

Monastery of 11 Strings

12 sites · RVs, Tents400 acres · Wombeyan Caves, NSW
Lovingly developed for 15 years as a mindful refuge & wildlife corridor by Victoria, a filmmaker/permaculture designer, the property was completely destroyed in 2018. Thus the mega bushfire cycle began impacting forever most of NSW's flora, fauna & people. Nature ultimately prevails & slowly the untamed terrain is healing. After studying at RMIT School of Architecture & Design for three years with the intention to design tiny living house systems better suited for harsh environments, Victoria has returned. Slowly she rebuilds a humble off-grid existence from the burnt-out bus fusing knowledge of building design with her food forests/aquaponics passion, keen to create an environmentally connected experience to share with like-minded others. By staying you are helping her & all the wild things emerge from the ashes. Thank you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No flies on us this winter... Book a stay until the end of July 2023 & get 25% off!

Originally settled in 1889 "Bobs Grant" this lovely property and the surrounding land was originally used for farming but is now mostly turf farms. Enjoy our little getaway down by the Hawkesbury River only 10 minutes from historic Windsor. A beautiful river shack for your use exclusively, including fire pit with direct access to the Hawkesbury river. Destroyed in the March and July 2022 floods, we have now re-built and are looking forward to welcoming back our guests. Bring your caravans, tent or swag - all are welcome! Unfortunately, boats are not. Relax and enjoy the serenity whilst being only 1 hour from Sydney. We offer the site to one group only, a maximum of 20 guests. However note, we are not a place for rowdy groups and parties. Groups are welcome here to enjoy the time with their family and friends, play a little music and relax by the river. The river can get busy (which is great after the floods as it has been dead for so long) and so can the road across the river but if you are enjoying your family and friends you won't even notice! We have one basic toilet, and one river water shower available too! Please bring your own drinking water. ​Fires are only permitted when allowed, in the designated areas only.

Weekend Trip to Old Forty Pumpkin Farm
This was a top spot. We were in and out a fair bit as we were visiting family but it met all our needs which was a quiet secluded spot to park our van each night. We wish we had more time to enjoy the property. The location was great with easy access to Mittagong and Bowral and there is a great pizza place just down the road for an easy nights dinner. The road in was wet in parts but we managed to get our semi off road 18ft van up to the site fairly easily by 4WD. 2WD might be a challenge in the wet. Bruce was super helpful and accommodating. Definitely recommend. Beats caravan parks anyday.

Geoff is very passionate about his block, and provided excellent advice about nearby highlights. There is a small creek, with kangaroos and a nice variety of birds. The land is right on the edge of Lithgow, so would be good for beginner campers, and those looking for convenience. Geoff provided plenty of free firewood, and Camp Site 2 had a BBQ and toilet.

Weekend Trip to Down by the Hawkesbury
Spent the weekend with my parents, brother and husband over the weekend and we had the best time! The gazebo was the best place to hang with the family and spend some quality time, we made good use of the pizza oven, fire place, fire pit & fridge! Everything was tidy and clean and Megan's communication through the days leading up to it was amazing! The place is private, however the neighbouring rental(?) spots is very quite close by and so on the first night, the neighbours who seem to have built in entertainment systems and speakers were playing music very loudly up until 1am which made it a pretty rough night for us. Also I may have missed this during the booking process, but there is also 4 dogs, which visit the site often :)

What an absolutely beautiful spot. The cabin was beautifully presented with everything you could need for a few nights away. The fire kept the place warm and cosy and I loved the big windows and beautiful views into the valley. There was a very good and functional kitchen with a great selection of pots, pans and crockery and an easy space to work in. The bathroom was lovely and clean with a nice hot shower. Everything in the cabin design had been well thought out in great detail and I was very impressed. We both had an amazing weekend away and enjoyed beautiful meals in front of the fire and spent time during the day out trail running along the Six Foot Track. Our two dogs loved their stay too with plenty of space to run around. Loved hearing all the birds and seeing lots of wildlife too. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us, we loved it and can’t wait to come back again soon.

Clean campsite with lots of space. Site is generally on a slope, easily fixed though with RTT, just leveled the car with some rocks lying about. Heaps of firewood about, and a big firepit area. Table and chairs were handy. Great location overall, easy to get into Berrima 25mins. Beautiful Bush walk half way up to the toilet and off to the right. Some good tracks to choose from. We had perfect winter weather, sunny days and cold clear nights. Would definitely stay again.

Camping in Jenolan Karst Conservation Reserve guide

Overview

About

In the bush-clad foothills of the Blue Mountains are more than a dozen natural caves to explore at Jenolan Caves. Venture underground to trek through limestone caverns, follow subterranean rivers, and marvel at hanging stalactites, crystalline rocks, and fossils. Alternatively, spot kangaroos on a bush walk through the Jenolan Reserve, choose an active tour and scramble through cave tunnels by torchlight, or dare to discover the caves after dark. There’s no camping at Jenolan Caves, but campers have options within a 20-minute drive.

When to go

Jenolan Caves are open daily year-round, but advance bookings are always advisable, especially on weekends and during NSW school holidays. Peak season is summer (December through February), so book tours at least six weeks in advance. The caves provide a cool retreat from the heat, with underground temperatures maintaining 15°C no matter when you visit.

Know before you go

  • Jenolan Caves are 115 km west of Sydney, or about a 3-hour drive. From Katoomba, it’s about a 2-hour drive. Access to the caves is via Jenolan Cave Road or Edith Road (not accessible for caravans or large motorhomes).
  • There is no public transport to the caves, but free parking is available and shuttle buses run between the car park and the caves. The closest fuel station is 30 km away in Oberon, so be sure to fill up before you set out. 
  • You’ll need sturdy closed-toe shoes and comfortable clothing to explore the caves. Bring something warm as it’s cool inside the caves. 
  • Facilities at Jenolan Caves include restrooms, a café, and a gift shop. The complex also has hotels and restaurants.
  • Most caves can only be visited as part of a guided tour, and minimum age restrictions apply. The only wheelchair-accessible cave is Orient Cave, and visits must be arranged in advance.
