Great spot. We went in March for 3 nights and there were plenty of spots available. Basic amenities, no showers and the toilets get pretty nasty after a few days. The river is beautiful, next time we will try kayaks. There's no fires permitted and no power so be prepared. Lots of wildlife with wombats the star of the show. There's little to no mobile reception. The security/ranger office was mostly unattended during our stay. The road in is pretty rough but can be carefully traversed with most vehicles during dry weather. We'll be back.
Beautiful camp area away from city, easy driving, near kangaroo valley the town for cafe and little shopping. We spend 2 nights here, people around are good campers, no noise, tidy toilets, easy access to clean water, surrounded by cute animals and birds. Foggy mountain view in a cloudy day is sth add on premium.
Such a beautiful and peaceful spot to camp! The views in the morning are stunning — mist over the river and wombats wandering around everywhere, absolutely adorable 🩵 The area’s clean, open and perfect for tents or a chill weekend getaway. There are toilets but no showers, so bring your own if you need one. Overall, a great camping spot to unwind and catch a gorgeous sunrise.
We went here on a day tour from Sydney. It was fantastic! We really wanted to see kangaroos and wombats in the wild and we saw a lot more than we were hoping for. Wombats don't seem to be bothered by people being around which was surprising. Kangaroos are more shy.
Amazing wildlife wombats by the dozens. Counted 17 one night on dusk. The scratching on your vehicle does wake you up though haha. Amazing beautiful well maintained campground! Huge areas to camp and spread out, mind you we never went during peak holiday season.
