Bunyip's Camp

At the foot of the Watagan mountains, close to the Watagan 4WD tracks, picnic areas, and bike tracks. Also close to Lake Macquarie where you will find fishing, boating, kayaking, canoeing etc. About a 20 - 40 min drive to beautiful beaches.

Ideal for those wanting to be surrounded by birds, nature and a couple of friendly doggos. Also great for people wanting to try out their new camper, van or tent for the 1st time as we are an easy 1 hour drive north of Sydney on the M1 and close enough to shops for those forgotten items.

Also we have unfenced dams and waterways, if you are camping with young children please consider carefully and let me know before booking. 

We have very basic bathroom facilities of 1 flushing toilet in the shed and an outdoor warm shower.

Please read the site rules and camping conditions to ensure this site suits your needs.


Moo's spot great for a vintage caravans photo shoot!
