Welcome to our family-friendly camping haven nestled in the picturesque Grose Valley, just a short drive from Sydney. Our campsite offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and family-friendly activities to create lasting memories for you and your loved ones. Family-Friendly Atmosphere: At our campsite, families are at the heart of everything we do. We understand the importance of creating a safe and enjoyable environment for kids, ensuring that families can bond and create cherished moments together. Our grounds are designed to cater to the needs of families, with designated family-friendly areas and activities suitable for all ages. Respectful Enjoyment: To maintain the family-friendly atmosphere, we kindly request campers to adhere to our quiet hours starting at 9 PM. We discourage those not oriented towards family activities and serene evenings, ensuring everyone can enjoy the tranquility of the natural surroundings. River Adventures: For water enthusiasts, our campsite boasts a pristine river where you can swim, fish, and kayak to your heart's content. Imagine spending a lazy afternoon on the water, teaching your kids to fish or paddling along the gentle current. It's an idyllic setting for aquatic family adventures. Riverside Camping: With over 600 meters of riverside campsites spread across 50 acres of lush bushland, you'll find the perfect spot to set up your tent or park your camper. Each site provides a secluded and tranquil escape, allowing you to immerse yourself in nature while still enjoying the comforts of a well-maintained camping area. Explore Nature on Foot or Wheels: Nature enthusiasts will delight in the variety of activities available. Embark on a bushwalk, discovering the flora and fauna that call the Grose Valley home. Mountain biking enthusiasts can navigate our trails, exploring the landscape on two wheels. There's always an adventure waiting just beyond your campsite. Campfires and Seasonal Delights: As the sun sets, gather around a crackling campfire with family and friends. We provide plenty of firewood to keep the flames dancing, creating the perfect atmosphere for storytelling and bonding. And when the season is right, don't forget to grab some homegrown avocados or contribute a small donation for kayak hire—all proceeds go to Beyond Blue, supporting mental health initiatives. Proximity to Richmond: Just a 10-minute drive away lies Richmond, a town with a rich history dating back to the early 19th century. Explore the blend of modern suburbia and historical landmarks, adding a touch of culture to your camping experience. Supporting a Cause: Extra vehicles are welcome with a small fee, and rest assured, all proceeds go to Beyond Blue, supporting mental health awareness and initiatives. Camp Before Sunset: For a stress-free and safe camp setup, we recommend arriving before sunset. This ensures you have ample time to settle in, allowing you to start your camping adventure on a comfortable note. Discover your secluded spot to swim, camp, fish, or simply relax. Join us in the Grose Valley for a camping experience that caters to the whole family, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Great weekend escape!

We had a great weekend at Jila Campgrounds - the place was beautiful, river very welcome on a hot weekend. Plenty of space to choose your own camp site. Great that it was dog friendly - and being so close to Sydney made it a perfect weekend getaway. Place felt lovely and remote and yet close enough to pop into Richmond for a lovely pub lunch! Highly recommend!

Lovely river camping.....with flies

Beautiful spot under the gum trees overlooking the river. A short three-minute walk down to the river, and oh my, that river is stunning. Lots of shallow bits for kiddos to wade in and some deep areas for real swimming. It was sweltering in November so we loved the option of this cool respite at our door. Hiring kayaks for a gold coin donation was really fun. I appreciated the luxury of flushing toilets which were very clean. The only bad thing is the FLIES, which I assume are due to the cowpats everywhere. The damned flies are relentless from dawn to dusk. My kid ended up in tears because of them - and we go camping a lot so he's no stranger to the discomforts of the outdoors. No flies at the river but you can't hide out there all day or you'll get sunburnt as there's no shade down there. Unfortunately I think the flies might prevent me from going back to this gorgeous spot.

Stunning place !

We absolutely loved this place, its beautiful, the grass is green, there's enough trees for shade and it's big enough to have your own space and not be crammed. The river is amazing, clear, white sand and the perfect temperature to cool off on a summers day!! Will be regulars now, stunning !!!

As a rather amateur Auntie bringing her niece and nephew on one of their first camping trips, this place was absolutely perfect for it. It is the definition of family friendly, with a soccer pitch, super shallow river and a slackline set up. This made our life so much easier and we all had a really good time!!
