Family-Friendly Atmosphere: At our campsite, families are at the heart of everything we do. We understand the importance of creating a safe and enjoyable environment for kids, ensuring that families can bond and create cherished moments together. Our grounds are designed to cater to the needs of families, with designated family-friendly areas and activities suitable for all ages. Respectful Enjoyment: To maintain the family-friendly atmosphere, we kindly request campers to adhere to our quiet hours starting at 9 PM. We discourage those not oriented towards family activities and serene evenings, ensuring everyone can enjoy the tranquility of the natural surroundings. River Adventures: For water enthusiasts, our campsite boasts a pristine river where you can swim, fish, and kayak to your heart's content. Imagine spending a lazy afternoon on the water, teaching your kids to fish or paddling along the gentle current. It's an idyllic setting for aquatic family adventures. Riverside Camping: With over 600 meters of riverside campsites spread across 50 acres of lush bushland, you'll find the perfect spot to set up your tent or park your camper. Each site provides a secluded and tranquil escape, allowing you to immerse yourself in nature while still enjoying the comforts of a well-maintained camping area. Explore Nature on Foot or Wheels: Nature enthusiasts will delight in the variety of activities available. Embark on a bushwalk, discovering the flora and fauna that call the Grose Valley home. Mountain biking enthusiasts can navigate our trails, exploring the landscape on two wheels. There's always an adventure waiting just beyond your campsite. Campfires and Seasonal Delights: As the sun sets, gather around a crackling campfire with family and friends. We provide plenty of firewood to keep the flames dancing, creating the perfect atmosphere for storytelling and bonding. And when the season is right, don't forget to grab some homegrown avocados or contribute a small donation for kayak hire—all proceeds go to Beyond Blue, supporting mental health initiatives. Proximity to Richmond: Just a 10-minute drive away lies Richmond, a town with a rich history dating back to the early 19th century. Explore the blend of modern suburbia and historical landmarks, adding a touch of culture to your camping experience. Supporting a Cause: Extra vehicles are welcome with a small fee, and rest assured, all proceeds go to Beyond Blue, supporting mental health awareness and initiatives. Camp Before Sunset: For a stress-free and safe camp setup, we recommend arriving before sunset. This ensures you have ample time to settle in, allowing you to start your camping adventure on a comfortable note. Discover your secluded spot to swim, camp, fish, or simply relax. Join us in the Grose Valley for a camping experience that caters to the whole family, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

    Jila Bush Cabin
    Great campsite but the cabin is not as close to the lovely river pictures as we had expected. Cabin advertised for 4. Okay for a family with 2 children. When I booked , I thought it was 2 separate sleeping areas but it is just one room and separate bathroom. The bathroom facilities are great as is the covered deck and gas bar b queue. Fortunately we found out the sleeping arrangements beforehand and took a tent for son and wife to use next to cabin. Disappointed that the hot tub was a bath on the covered deck and the fire pit was a tin drum and no sign of any wood to light a fire . No facilities to sit round it. The cabin is in a great area for exploring the area -Richmond and lovely national park walks. Also only an hour from Sydney. We are from Uk and enjoyed ourselves as we were with my son and his wife who live in Sydney. However I felt it was rather pricey as only really suitable for 2 adults and two children Shari g a double sofa bed. Philip however was great and a very good communicator. Replied immediately.

    Great campsite not far from the city. Easy to get to and good communication from the host. Beautiful river and beach for kids to play in. Spacious camp sites and flushing toilets. No firewood provided however you can find lots of kindling and small branches.

    The river was safe for the kids. We stayed one night and the weather was lovely on the day we arrived and it was raining at night and the next morning. Lovely to listen to the rain while sleeping in a tent.

    Lovely spot to camp up, lots of space between sites. My husband and I took our campervan over a weekend at the end of March and spent the warm afternoon by the creek. Use of fire pits also a plus. Will come back!

    We went camping at Jila Campground. It’s a very nice and calm place, with acceptable toilets located in various areas of the campsite. It’s near the Grose River, which had clear water during our stay. We forgot to bring our own firewood, but Phillip, the host, helped us gather some wood, loaded it into his ute, and brought it to our fire pit. Of course, it is not his duty, but it shows he truly deserves to be the host of a campground, ensuring that campers enjoy their stay. The grass was well-kept, and there were fire pits available everywhere. We will definitely go back with firewood, a kayak, and, of course, more drinks!
