Private sites
100% of recent Hipcampers say the sites felt private.
Our property is located in the Blue Mountains, nestled right in the middle of the national park and all that the Blue Mountains bush has to offer. Gums, ferns, fresh air and swimming holes. I only allow one group to camp at any one time per site. Other groups will be well away from you. However the dam is available for everyone to use. I adjust each booking with each group depending on size of the group and time of year. I also hold large events so will book out the entire site for large groups. Just a short drive from Sydney but a world away with its ancient forests and meandering pathways. All photos are from the site or within a 2km walk of the camping site in National Park or reserve. I welcome self-contained campers with your own camping toilet/shower, and drinking water. However there are facilities on site for smaller groups at an extra cost. The property offers a number of sites that can accommodate various group numbers. Please message me if you're interested in booking one or more listings for your special get together. Dogs are welcome as long as they are friendly, but no cats please. Also please be aware that we are surrounded by nature and part of nature are snakes and ticks. - we need to keep this environment for the wildlife. Please take all your belongings and rubbish with you when you leave. Leave it better than as you found it.

We will be back!
We had a fantastic weekend at Bonnie Doon. Matt was so kind and helpful even helping us out of a jam with our caravan. There was lots to do, the kids loved the rock climbing wall and dam with its jetty, we will return in summer to really appreciate the swimming hole. Lots to explore and beautiful mountain views. Special thanks to Jago the sheep dog for entertaining us all weekend rounding up the football. Thanks Matt for being such a gracious host on your beautiful property. See you soon

Private sites amongst the trees.
Close to all the sites and walks. Easy to access. The sites are very private and cleared spaces with fire pits. Firewood is available to buy. Matthew is a great communicator and we would definitely stay here again and 100% recommend this Hipcamp. Jude & John.

Special Crew Camp
Camping for the adventurous
Bonnie Doon is a family friendly campsite for outdoor enthusiasts seeking both relaxation and adventure. Matt was friendly, easy and helpful in the pre booking process, and when on site he was always quick to respond, if we needed anything. We also met the family dog Jargo or Jago. He visited us a lot and liked to play fetch. The kids loved him. One of the standout features of this campsite is undoubtedly the dam, which serves as a focal point for both recreation and relaxation. There is just so much provided. There is a slide, a rope swing, a kayak, even a trampoline you can jump off into the water from the platform. But the best thing about the campsite is the rock climbing wall towering above the water, climb if you dare. We paid a fee to use the outdoor shower and the drop toilets (which were pretty clean). The outdoor shower had a powerful shower head with hot water. Which was lovely after a swim in the dam. The only con I can think of, the toilets were a bit of a walk to get too. Matt said he plans to build more toilet near ‘special camp crew’ site, which would be perfect. The site layout, allowed for a group of 14 people with ample space and privacy. Drinking water and a fire pit is also provided. You can byo firewood or you can purchase off Matt. We purchase a trailer full and they burnt well. Thanks for our stay Matt, your property is amazing! We would definitely be back during the summer.

Beautiful and quiet place to stay with our van. Matt was a great host giving us plenty of information about his property. Thoroughly enjoyed the serenity, looking forward to coming back one day.
