Such a beautiful place! Great to be amongst the orchards and bush. Clean amenities, great trails and there is a little playground for kids.

Orchard & Pine Trees Camping
Beautiful location, the kids loved it. Feeding the animals was a highlight, and exploring the waterfall walk. Really impressed with the cleanliness of the toilet and shower facilities! I wasn't expecting to be able to have a hot shower but it was wonderful. Would love to visit again.

What an amazing Hipcamp site! Jiji was such a welcoming host. The bus was as described, clean and spacious. There was always something to do and very family friendly - nearby waterfall, playground for the kids, animal feeding and orchard exploring. Highly recommend this Hipcamp.

We had a lovely over night stay at Fern Valley Farm - quick to get to from Sydney and still close to some beautiful beaches and walks. Jiji was super helpful and great communicating in the lead up and when we arrived. Lots of space, good facilities and an open fire!
