Long Point is located 46 kilometres south-west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Campbelltown.

The land was first granted to settler Thomas Mills in the early 19th century before being consumed by William Redfern's Campbellfields Estate a few years later.

In the 1930s high-profile gangsters from East Sydney would use small houses set up in Long Point bushland as hiding places from the law.

These are regularly reported in the local newspaper the Macarthur Advertiser in the Mac Koala column.

There have been many incidents with snakes biting people in this area and it has been advised by the local government to avoid this particular camping spot.
