The West Camp
Rock climbers dream
Thank you Matthew to yourself and your wife for opening up your property for campers. This was certainly the best Hipcamp experience we have had to date.
We took our Hybrid 4.7 meter camper in and out without issue. Took advantage of the drinking water supplied. We were fully self contained however appreciated the long drop toilets supplied were well set up and clean. Firepits supplied, optional firewood was great value and burnt well. Plenty of room to spread out or be completely isolated.
The boys (and I) had such a great time exploring your property and we will definitely be back with the rock climbing gear next time!
An absolute hidden gem that we couldn't recommend high enough
Thank you
The Dam Camp
Great spot not far from Blackheath and all the area has to offer. We booked very late but Matthew was super responsive and helpful. Both he and Marianne are friendly and up for a chat. The site itself is in a rustic bush setting by the dam with plenty of gum trees, plus lots of undercover space and even a fireplace in the open shed, which came in handy when it rained. Kids had a paddle and a swim when the sun was out and even convinced us to have a dip. They also loved playing with the dog Jago. There’s a good walk from the property with a lookout over the valley. Just a short drive to Dargan Arch which is a very cool but not often explored bushwalk in the national park, recommended by Matthew. The trucks and trains can be a bit noisy overnight but we had a great time and are glad we came across this via Hipcamp.

Special Crew Camp
Relaxing peaceful stay
Matthew was a great host. Very friendly and hospitable. We stayed in a new site on his property which had 4wd access only and away from the dam and toilets and was a little rough underfoot - but the benefit was that it was totally away from the other campers so was very quiet and peaceful!!
The other sites looked good though and it's a really nice property overall. The dam and climbing wall looked great too.

The Grassy Paddock
What a spot!
Bonnie Doon was such an incredible property and the facilities were tip top. We camped at the grassy paddock and the spot was perfect, toilets near by, easy to access, close to the damn and communal area. Matt was an excellent host and all round legend, he was there when you needed but not imposing during your stay. You can tell he has put so much into making the property what it is and has created the perfect spot. The guided walk was worth the additional fee and was absolutely spectacular. The property has lots of activities to keep you busy and the views from sunset lookout are one of a kind. The damn is the perfect spot to spend the day! Thanks for having us Matt, we can’t wait to come back 🏕️
