Mckeown’s Rest, Blue Mountains, New South Wales

This property has been in the family for generations. The Mckeowns Creek begins here, named after the bushranger. 

It is a short drive to Jenolan Caves, one of the worlds most stunning limestone cave systems. My family has had a close relationship with Jenolan since it’s discovery by white man. 

In recent times I have taken over from my parents and have obtained a number of interesting and fun animals for guests to interact with.

Mckeown's Rest is a 300-acre multi-generation cattle farm, in the stunning Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage area. We have numerous animals here including miniature goats and sheep, alpacas, geese, ducks, turkeys, peacocks and guinea fowl. A real menagerie! While not staying at the house Hip-campers are welcome to visit the animals. please be mindful of privacy and don't walk around the actual house gardens.

We have rolling green hills, sweeping views and incredible sunrises. The two campsites we offer are nearer to the main homestead on level, grassed areas, out of the wind, where you can get a great vantage point of the views. We welcome self-contained campers only, to enjoy peace and privacy, in what is a convenient base for exploring this iconic part of Australia. 

We're adjacent to the Kanangra Boyd National Park and 25km from Kanangara Walls, and just a short 5-minute drive to the iconic Jenolan Caves, one of the worlds most stunning limestone cave systems. 

We have drinking water available for campers, however, no toilets or showers so you'll need to bring your own camp loo and take all waste with you. 

Pets welcome but to be kept on a lead, please. 

We have a communal firepit for your campfire, and provide firewood free-of-charge.
