Experience the Region
Join us in Camden
Take to the Skies
Soar over the region in a plane with no engine and only two seats with help from one of the largest and oldest gliding clubs in Australia, Southern Cross Gliding Club, or swap the gentle pace for real fighter jet action with Air Combat Australia. For a family-friendly flight, book a tranquil hot air balloon ride with Balloon Aloft Camden and take in stunning views that stretch to the CBD, Blue Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.
Cycling Beyond BMX
It’s also a hotspot for cyclists of all kinds, not just BMX. Take on a mountain bike challenge of the The Garden Mountain Bike Trails that wind through the stunning Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan, with options for amateurs to pros. Accessible tracks like the Family Loop are great for beginners, while the Advanced Loop has 70 metres of elevation with jumps, berms and rock drops.
Local Eats & Treats
All that adrenaline will make you hungry. Grab a pint and feed from the resident food truck at Merino Brewery in Narellan.
Pick up an exquisite fruit tart or a light-as-air choux pastry from Arta Atelier.
Or tuck into southwest Sydney’s best gelato from Scoop in Campbelltown.
Where to Stay
When you’re ready to rest, the heritage-listed Camden Valley Inn is a boutique destination hotel with a family-friendly restaurant and five acres of gardens. Nearby Campbelltown has plenty of options from Rydges’ luxury rooms, Euro-grill restaurant and brewery to the affordable Hermitage Campbelltown. Campers can set up on a 20-acre property at Wedderburn Hideaway.
Discover the Region
Western Sydney
Stretching to the foot of the Blue Mountains, multicultural Western Sydney is packed with things to explore. Go on a global food safari; BMX at Sydney Olympic Park or go on a whitewater rafting adventure.
Wollongong
Drive an hour south to see the breathtaking surf beaches around Wollongong. Dial up the adventure with skydiving; explore the city with its myriad cafes and restaurants; or bushwalk through the surrounding sub-tropical rainforest.
Southern Highlands
The Southern Highlands is a favourite cycling destination for its quiet country roads that wind from village to village. On-road routes tour through farmland with stops in sleepy towns for a meal. For an off-road experience, the surrounding national parks and bushland have plenty of fire trails and challenging single tracks to ride.
