Private sites

97% of recent Hipcampers say the sites felt private.

Lovingly developed for 15 years as a mindful refuge & wildlife corridor by Victoria, a filmmaker/permaculture designer, the property was completely destroyed in 2018. Thus the mega bushfire cycle began impacting forever most of NSW's flora, fauna & people. Nature ultimately prevails & slowly the untamed terrain is healing. After studying at RMIT School of Architecture & Design for three years with the intention to design tiny living house systems better suited for harsh environments, Victoria has returned. Slowly she rebuilds a humble off-grid existence from the burnt-out bus fusing knowledge of building design with her food forests/aquaponics passion, keen to create an environmentally connected experience to share with like-minded others. By staying you are helping her & all the wild things emerge from the ashes.

Victoria's campsite offers a serene escape into nature, perfect for those seeking peace and privacy. The site is praised for its spaciousness and the host's welcoming demeanor, making campers feel at home. While the composting toilet setup may initially surprise some, it is generally well-received. The campsite is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and offers adventurous trails, though the hike to the creek can be challenging yet rewarding.

Good site! Plenty of space. Don't be put off by the 'composting toilet', it's a good set up. The dam and creek is quite a hike from the site, but lovely.

3 - BUDDHA TREE VIEW

We absolutely loved our time here. Victoria is so passionate about what she does and we loved crossing paths and having a good old yarn. The instructions were easy to follow, though the track in might be a bit hairy in 2wd if it were wet at all - our rav4 and van had no troubles when we went. The hike down to the creek is exactly as described, watch your footing or you may slip on loose rocks, and be prepared for the 3.5km trek back up to camp! Take it slowly and its not so bad - go fast and youll be puffing by the top! The creek is worth it though, it is stunning and our pups absolutely loved swimming along while we waded and explored downstream. We can't wait to come back!

Nice Area, Few Amenities

1 - RAINBOW TREE

Overall, the area was lovely. Close enough to the Wombeyan Caves and an interesting creek nearby whilst still feeling quite private. However, would advise campers bring their own stove/ cooking gear because when we arrived we realised the BBQ was broken. This was our first time camping ever so this was quite distressing. The toilet was just a bucket and we were not sure how to use or dispose of it (we mistakenly thought there would be a longdrop - looking back I should have read things more closely). Would recommend to experienced campers! If you are just starting off like us it might be a rough time.

Awesome spot! Close as you can get to being out wild without being out wild! Plenty of firewood scatered around and biodegradable bucket toilets. The walk down to the river can be long but it is worth it! Some good size Brown Trout in there too! Would highly recommend!

Get lost in Nature

7 - THE HERMIT HUT

Wild & untamed. Victoria, spends a great deal of time looking after the land with the aim of minimal human foot print. Lots to explore & get lost in if you give it a real go, adventure.
