SIERRA ESCAPE, MUDGEE
One word: ridiculous. Located just a three-hour drive south of Sydney, Paperbark Camp is the ultimate in fine camping. Think food, wine and paradisiac natural surrounds, with the pristine waters of Jervis Bay at your toes. 
PAPERBARK CAMP, JERVIS BAY
Stay in a safari tent, minus the lions. Instead, you'll find kangaroos, koalas and sooty owls surrounding you. This super-secluded parcel of private land in the middle of a lagoon-tipped national park is a real haven, with only four tents on the property. 
TANJA LAGOON CAMP
Overlooking the scenic Capertree Valley 200 kilometres northwest of Sydney, these low-impact campsites provide a secluded night under the stars with all the comforts of a luxury glamping experience. 
BUBBLETENT, CAPERTREE
If waking up to the call of an elephant is not your 5am cup of tea, you better sit out on Roar and Snore at Taronga Zoo. Otherwise? It's an unmissable Sydney experience if you don't have the cash for an actual Sahara night safari. 
ROAR AND SNORE, TARONGA ZOO
This ultra-luxe glamping site near Sydney is set within the picturesque Marramarra National Park, right on the Hawkesbury River. Arrive in style, by boat from Mooney Mooney or Brooklyn, before setting yourselves up in one of the large safari tents. 
MARRAMARRA LODGE, HAWKESBURY RIVER
Crisp white linen. Happening island bar. Antipasto and woodfired pizzas. Need we say more? Sleep in splendour under the industrial cranes of Cockatoo Island in a stunning waterfront location smack bang in the middle of Sydney Harbour.
COCKATOO ISLAND
Oberon's Mayfield Garden boasts a luxurious eco-friendly camping retreat in one of the world's largest privately-owned cool climate gardens. This NSW glamping spot is seriously impressive, overflowing with acres of vibrant flowers and towering trees.
