Fabulous private camping spot
49 ft travel trailer · With kids
Melissa was a fabulous host with excellent communication and consideration of the campers.
After heavy rain the week before, Melisssa advised of an alternate location on the property. This was a dry area with an equally private bushy outlook.
Fabulous for the kids to ride their bikes and enjoy a nighttime walk.
It was a great location, a fabulous unspoilt environment to enjoy the outdoors a stones throw from Sydney.
Hope to return.

Overall the stay was good. When we first arrived there had been a lot of rain and the ground was too wet in the allocated camp spot near the river to take our car and off-road caravan.
Mel helped us to locate to a more suitable spot that was not as wet. The 3 days we stayed unfortunately the weather was not great, cloudy, windy and showers.
That did not stop us walking to a nearby waterfall that was pumping due to the rain, we also visited the apple orchard brewery and a short drive to a scenic lookout up and down the coast.
I can see if the weather was fine and the ground dry the spot near the river would be lovely. Just unfortunate we could not stay there, Mel did compensate us for the change in location.

Cobbers Rest a Unique Retreat
16 ft Class B
This is what makes Cobbers Rest special:
Seclusion - You will feel like you’re in the middle of the bush even though you are only a short drive from Helensburgh and Stanwell tops.
A welcoming host - Mel is deservedly proud of the camping area she has created and will welcome you with a smile.
Nature’s symphony - Trills and swills of birds and bubbling creek.
What a joy to be able to get-away and enjoy peace and tranquility only 30mins drive from home.

Secluded, wild & beautiful!!
Tent
We had a wonderful stay on Melissa's land. You need to make sure you have your own toilet and a 4WD as there are soft spots after the rain but we had absolutely no issues at all. The camp-site is awesome with a beautiful creek running past the perimeter. Melissa was friendly, helpful and responsive. Nearby attractions including the waterfall and orchid were epic. We had a great stay.
