    A short drive or boat ride from Sydney's Central Business District, Manly has long been popular among tourists, owing to its pretty beaches and close proximity to Australia's most populous city. It's considered the birthplace of Australian surfing, but even if you aren't a surfer, you're still likely to find plenty to do, from checking out some of Manly’s beaches to visiting the numerous shops and restaurants that dot the town. Manly is also the gateway for visiting the North Head Sanctuary, a nature sanctuary and the site of North Fort, a former military base.

    Magical Bush at Murrays Run

    4. Magical Bush at Murrays Run

    2 sites · Lodging · Murrays Run, NSW
    Kawalang is nestled on 100 acres of stunning bushland on Wonnarua Country, in the midst of the Watagan Forest in the Lower Hunter Valley. We’re just 1.5 hours from Sydney and Newcastle, and 45 minutes from the Central Coast. Nearby, you’ll find the Yengo Lookout and Rock Platform with remarkable Indigenous art, as well as wineries, horse farms, and the historic villages of Wollombi and Laguna. We grow food organically — from citrus, figs, and quinces to pears, mulberries, elderberries, finger limes, feijoas, garlic, vegetables, and greens — and strive to live sustainably. We keep waste to a minimum by composting food scraps and reducing plastic use. Most of our energy comes from solar panels, while rainwater collected in filtered tanks provides our water supply. An electric car charger is available for visitors to support their journey around the Valley. We live in harmony with the wildlife here — wombats, wallabies, possums, bandicoots, kookaburras, cockatoos, and more. On walks down to the bottom field, you’ll pass striking cliffs and rock formations, and discover a private valley with a meandering creek to explore and enjoy. We are about an hour from an exquisite lookout toward Big Yengo, a sacred mountain as significant to Aboriginal people in this region as Uluru is in Central Australia. For thousands of years, Aboriginal communities have gathered on this mountain. The area offers rock carvings, walking tracks, and campsites to explore. The name Kawalang was gifted to us by Aniwan Gamilaroi Wonnarua Elder Uncle Bill Smith. It means “abundance” in language, acknowledging the spirit of the land and the food and joy it brings.

    Canoelands Orchard Camping and Fruit Picking, is located just 1 hour from Sydney's CBD. The property is 81 acres in total with a small shop and cafe onsite. We offer pick your own fruit so are open to the public daily (closed on occasion). Trading hours can be viewed at www.bookingscanoeladns.com. We are surrounded by the stunning valley views of Marra Marra National Park. Guests can enjoy hiking, wandering the orchard picking fresh produce, taking a tractor ride, feeding the animals and relaxing. Please note we are a working farm so sometimes tractors and vehicles can be heard working from 7am. There will be foot traffic and possibly tractor rides operating near some of the sites although we will do our best to respect your privacy while you are here. We also have a quarry surrounding most of the property, so they sometimes operate machinery early. This is not generally too disruptive though. We are just 15 minutes' drive from the beautiful historical Wiseman's Ferry and the Hawkesbury River. There are multiple hiking tracks located close by. We have several sites to offer around the property. We have a beautiful huge dam just 350m down the gully. It’s super peaceful although a steep walk down the driveway to access, it's definitely worth it, so pack your walking shoes and some swimmers.

Kids had a splash in the water and caught an eel first cast :-) Host Toni was very nice and responsive. If you just want to switch off and stay put at camp, this is a great place to be. Will be back!

    Weekend Trip to Halifax Hill
    We stayed here with our three children. While it wasn’t the most ideal setup for a young family, the quirky, back-to-basics charm really shone through for our 5- and 8-year-olds. No phones, no iPads – just fire, play, and conversations. With St Albans only a few kilometres away, we were able to enjoy a day of adventure there, as well as Wisemans Ferry, where the girls loved paddling on the sandbanks by the park. The shack itself has loads of charm and would be especially perfect for a couple or a small group of adults wanting to cook, share a bottle of wine, relax, and soak up the nature all around. We still thoroughly enjoyed our stay with the girls – and they did too, which is the main thing. The host was super communicative and responsive, and we were well looked after. Shack charm – a winner.

    I had such a wonderful stay here with my dog. The location is incredibly quiet and calm with beautiful surroundings and a lovely river view that make it the perfect place to chill. Toni and John went above and beyond, helping me with a couple of small camper issues and making me feel completely welcome. A truly peaceful spot that I’d highly recommend. I’m definitely returning, it’s on my regular trip list now.

The toilets and showers were super clean and the hot water was great. We loved seeing the two dogs who were so friendly. Thank you again.

    Nice and quiet first 2 nights. The amenities are very basic but serviceable wouldn’t expect much more for the price. Fire pit was great. There was the occasional sewerage smell but not overwhelming. Our bird loved all the bird calls. Our third night a large group came and were rowdy as expected for young people but having a 3 year old we just cut our trip short by 1 night to avoid any issues noise travels in the open area. This was the first camping trip for my husband and step daughter they both thought it was great.

    Lovely. A last minute camp, within an hour and a bit of Sydney. Easy drive. Great site. Cool little shop. Jamie was very welcoming. I had a blast. Will be back I think, for sure. Site was cool, decent fire pit, decent stack of wood too. Maybe bring you're own kindling and not a lot of stuff to scavenge around as it is so well maintained. Little guinea pigs I their shed were cool too

    We booked site 1, but stayed at site 6 - amongst the liquid ambers. David met us on arrival, took us to a couple of different sites on the property, and let us choose. Site 6 was nice - quite private, yet only about 50m walk to the flushing toilets (very clean). The gardens are really nice, and a lovely place for a walk around in the afternoon. Some stunning native flowers in amongst the gardens too. Peaceful overnight, and birdsong in the morning. This is an easy/relaxed camping spot only an hour out of Sydney - great for families and first timers.

    ** October long weekend fully booked ** Beautiful property, nestled in the Colo Valley, next to the pristine Colo River. We have cleared grassy paddocks, some shady areas, and access to the Colo River, one of the most pristine rivers in NSW. Our river access is normally shallow, well-suited to young families or those who just want to lay back and enjoy a refreshing dip. Amazing sunrises, sunsets, and stargazing are provided free of charge along with bird watching, local wildlife, and horses in surrounding paddocks. We offer limited sites to comply with NSW Camping legislation and Hipcamp guidelines and to enable campers to experience the Colo as it should be, listening to the beautiful wildlife and really appreciating the outdoors. Sites are large with varying distance between each to enable you to enjoy the camping experience in your own space. Both paddock sites and limited river spots are available. If planning to stay with friends and you wish to share a site only 1 booking is required, the sites are large, some up to 30m x 30m. IMPORTANT: Pets are allowed on a case-by-case basis, with conditions, and a $20 fee applies. Please check with Hosts before booking. Once approved, please add the Pets Extra when booking. (Saturday night 2-night minimum) There is no mobile reception or internet access, therefore, providing a true off-grid retreat. Self-sufficient campers are preferred. There are fire drums available on each site, most with grill plates - subject to RFS bush fire danger ratings on the day. There are three communal flushing toilets and two awesome hot water showers! ALL waste is to leave with you! There are local bush walks through National Parks and great places for mountain bike riding although be mindful of holiday traffic in peak times on our local dirt roads. The local shop, Colo Riverside is open 4 days a week Thurs-Sun, just 10kms up the road providing last-minute supplies, ice, bottle shop, and cafe services. Please note: Due to our location bookings may be canceled at short notice in times of bad weather due to flooding, limited access, fire or flood warnings. We trust you will understand we are only looking out for your safety and of course, Hipcamp credits will be arranged.
