Excellent site for the family and friends. Showers were next level for a Camp site.

Love camping in the Orchard, it’s so peaceful. Walked around and grabbed some Oranges with the kids before kicking back by a fire star gazing. Facilities were clean with extra porta-loo’s in the pine paddock. Grass sites were well maintained and plenty of room. Reptile Park is only a short drive away. Thank you for another nice stay. See you again soon.

Waterfall is gold!
The waterfall here is pretty beautiful! Nice place to hang for a night or if you had a big booking with lots of friends and booked out a whole area

Orchard & Pine Trees Camping
Idyllic spot. Small number of campers, surrounded by orchards. The roosters kept us in check and there could be a couple more showers to be honest. Otherwise a friendly caretaker, access to firewood and just an all round relaxing weekend, really close to Sydney.

Waterfall within 15-20min walk from the campsite. Quite and decent distance to the next (neighbour) campsite. Caretaker Ballyn was very friendly nice. Only 1hr drive from Sydney, you can get to enjoy the nature & a lot of stars on the sky. It would be great if they can upgrade the toilet facilities(ones adjacent to the campsite) and provide bin areas.
