This is one of our flagship trips at Cool Girls Club and we run this base camp multiple times a year. Key timings always stay the same, multiple dates will be offered at booking.

Start: Friday, 6pm

End: Sunday: 3pm

Join us for a 2-night base camp experience in the stunning Blue Mountains — created for women who want to build outdoor confidence while enjoying guided day walks and returning each evening to a warm, cosy camp and a welcoming community atmosphere 🌺

This is not a remote expedition or multi-day hike.

This is a structured, skill-building weekend where we explore during the day and come back to our peaceful, comfortable bush base to rest, warm up, and unwind each night ❤️‍🔥

We run Blue Mountains base camps multiple times a year and it is our most popular trip - perfect for first timers. The activities and hikes will be adjusted according to the season.

🍃 What You’ll Experience

Across the weekend, we’ll explore a variety of walking tracks around Blackheath and the greater Blue Mountains region.

You can expect:

• Guided day bushwalks with jaw-dropping views off cliffs

• Jungle and waterfall trails

• Outdoor skill development sessions

• Time to slow down and immerse yourself in nature

• Cosy evenings at camp with warm meals, hot drinks, and connection by the fire

• All walks are suitable for beginner to intermediate participants, with space to challenge yourself at a comfortable, enjoyable pace.

👣 Fitness & Experience Level

Suitable for beginner to intermediate hikers.

You should feel comfortable walking approximately 8–12km in a day at a relaxed pace with breaks.

No prior camping experience is required.

This weekend is designed as a supported introduction to overnight outdoor experiences, with the comfort of returning to a well-set base camp each day.

🥾 Who This Weekend Is For

This experience is ideal if:

• You’ve done day hikes and want to experience staying overnight in nature — without sacrificing comfort

• You want to build confidence in a supported, cosy environment

• You’re curious about outdoor skills but don’t know where to start

• You value connection and community as much as time outdoors

• No prior camping experience required.

Meet at Blackheath Station on Friday. You can drive to the base camp or catch the train. Trains run from Sydney to the Blue Mountains in less than 2 hours.

We’ll spend two nights at Seclusion at Nangala in the Megalong Valley — a peaceful, glamping-style bush campground designed for comfort and tranquility.

Your stay includes single-person tents for comfort, warmth, and privacy, flushing toilets, a cosy indoor space, and an indoor kitchen for preparing and sharing warm meals.

On arrival, we'll show you how to set up your tents, tart a fire, play get-to-know-you games and share a warm dinner.

Embark on a guided iconic Blue Mountains bushwalk, specifically chosen for your group, with skill development woven into the experience.

We'll take you to visit an incredible lookout to show you the best the mountains has to offer.

Head back to Nangala to build a fire, cook a cosy dinner and enjoy bonding over our experiences in nature. Watch the stars come out before heading to bed for a well-earned rest.

We'll take down our tents and pack everything away so we can enjoy the rest of our day before heading home.

Day two is a slightly shorter hike, exploring a totally different section of the mountains. We'll show you the varied landscapes of the Jamieson and Grose Valleys across both days.

After sharing an amazing weekend together, we'll gather at a scenic Blue Mountains location. This is our time to empower each other with what we've learned, share hopes for the future and give feedback.

Depending on the location of the final hike, we will drop you at the closest train station to get you home.
