If off-grid luxury, starry skies, and eco-glamping on private bushland sounds like your kind of nervous system rehab—Sierra Escape in Mudgee is calling.
Location:
1345 Lower Piambong Road, Piambong NSW 2850
The BioHax Take
This is camping, reimagined for people who don’t do camping. Sierra Escape is a grown-up, luxury glamping escape set on 280 acres of private Mudgee bushland. Think designer safari tents with freestanding tubs, panoramic decks, and just enough wine and firelight to remember who you are again.
Retreat Snapshot
This adults-only eco glamping retreat in Mudgee NSW is where luxury meets nature. It’s where your nervous system goes to rehab — in a tent with king beds, luxe linens, and no one around to bother you. Each stay includes a stocked kitchenette, private deck, and your own stretch of wild serenity.
The Experience
This is not a family-friendly holiday park. It’s a grown-up nature immersion for people who want to disappear in style.
Expect a horizon wide enough to clear your mental browser history, outdoor bathtubs under open skies, and a deep, satisfying quiet that no sound machine can mimic.
Add in award-winning Mudgee wine, crackling firepits, and a sunrise view that makes your inbox irrelevant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Sierra Escape adults-only?
Yes. No kids, no chaos — just grown-up calm. Sierra Escape is strictly adults-only, designed for guests 18+ who value silence, solitude, and a hot bath that doesn’t come with splash fights.
Is there Wi-Fi?
Technically, yes. But honestly, don’t. Each tent has access to Wi-Fi, but most guests switch their phones to airplane mode and their brains to offline. This is your permission to unplug.
Do the tents have air conditioning or heating?
No air con, but you won’t need it. Each tent is fitted with a slow-combustion woodfire heater (with wood provided) to keep things cosy when the temps drop. For warmer months, natural airflow and ceiling fans do the trick — just open the flaps and let the breeze handle it.
Is Sierra Escape pet-friendly?
Love your dog, but leave them home. Sierra Escape isn’t pet-friendly due to wildlife, fencing, and the fact that wombats don’t do well with new housemates.
Can I cook onsite?
Absolutely. Every tent and tiny house comes with a fully equipped kitchenette, and there’s a curated local produce pack available to pre-order. DIY grazing or full chef mode — your call. Wine pairing encouraged.
How private is it, really?
Very. Each accommodation is thoughtfully spaced out for total seclusion, with bushland between tents and no neighbours in sight. You’ll feel like you’ve booked the whole 280 acres to yourself.
Is it accessible for people with mobility concerns?
Some tents have easier access than others, but due to the natural terrain and safari-style layouts, it may not suit all mobility levels. Contact the team directly if you have accessibility needs — they’ll help find the best fit.
What’s included in the local produce pack?
Think gourmet grazing: locally sourced cheeses, crackers, cured meats, nuts, fruit, and chocolates. Vegetarian packs available. Best enjoyed with a bottle of Mudgee red and zero obligations.
What should I bring?
They’ve got you covered for the basics — luxe linens, towels, kitchen essentials, bath products, and heating. You bring the rest: supplements, snacks, wardrobe worthy of wine country, and anything you’d pack for a romantic, off-grid exhale.
