Escape to 100 acres of natural beauty, where 60% of the land is pristine bushland perched high above the Wingecarribee River. Our three secluded campsites offer the perfect retreat for nature lovers, with walking tracks, bush climbing adventures, and exceptional stargazing on clear nights. We’re a pet-friendly getaway—dogs are welcome on-leash and under control. Share the space with our friendly farm animals, including horses, a donkey, an alpaca, and free-ranging peacocks, chooks, ducks, and guinea fowl. Our property is fully off-grid, so campers must be self-contained and follow a leave-no-trace policy. To enhance your stay, we’ve recently added a flush toilet, outdoor sink, and cold shower, centrally located near the homestead due to the natural landscape. It’s a short walk from most sites and fully lit at night for easy access. Firewood is plentiful, fresh drinking water is available, and we can provide table and chair setups on request. Located just 30 minutes from Mittagong and 20 minutes from Berrima, you're close to great restaurants and cafes, lots of boutique shopping, weekly markets, award-winning cellar doors, and world-class distilleries. Don't miss the World Heritage-listed Joadja town and distillery, just a 15-minute drive away. To make your stay even more special, indulge in one of our gourmet hampers filled with the best local produce. Discover the Southern Highlands—peaceful, adventurous, and unforgettable.

We enjoyed our stay but the price was too expensive for what you got. Beautiful bird life and the toilet is clean and having wood included helps take the sting of the price away.

Amazing location so close to the city. Felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. Views were amazing. Lots of fire wood and clean amenities

Such a lovely property situated in a slice of heaven. I stayed at Sunset and had some trouble with tent pegs following heavy rain the night before and rocky terrain but I adapted and made it work. Leanne was really helpful and I found it was a nice touch, as a solo female traveler, having her son check in on me the first morning of my stay. Awesome to have a flushing clean toilet on site, it is an uphill walk but not far. I have no words to describe the gorge it was too epic. Loved waking up to the lyrebirds too. If you're undecided about booking, just do it you won't regret it. Thank you again Leanne :)

Stunning secluded campsite!

Beautiful secluded location with stunning views over the cliffs. Nobody else in sight and the clifftop tables and chairs were the perfect spot for sunset cocktails and brekkie.

Private campsite!
Loved tent camping at Sunset site! We had the space to ourselves which was very private with a fire pit. The toilet is a little bit of a walk from the campsite, but it’s an excellent and well kept facility. Loved visiting the animals and Leanne was so lovely. She dropped us fire wood when we enquired about it and was very accommodating.

We enjoyed our time here. The bush walks are worth it - what a view! Our Daughter loved to see the donkey and horses. Leanne was a fantastic host and was more than happy to ensure we had everything for our stay. Keep an eye out for the wild life - deers, eagles, kangaroos and even some frogs!
