Why not follow us on Facebook @Willowbank Hipcamp and see what is happening on the farm, videos of our sites and info on what is on in our community!
Located only 8 minutes drive from the historical town of Stroud which was settled by the AA Company in the 1820's as a food growing area. There are still many beautiful buildings from that period to explore.
A dairy farm for many years, we switched over to beef around 15 years ago. Currently we run around 120 head of Angus and mixed breed cattle.
Within 3 hours drive of Sydney and around an hour from the Barrington National Parks, Newcastle, Maitland, Forster and Nelson Bay, it makes it the perfect destination for a weekend getaway!
We are offering 6 beautiful, partly shaded, camping sites along the pristine Upper Karuah River. All sites are separated for privacy and are all right on the edge of the river.
There are plenty of opportunities for bird watching, hiking, swimming, kayaking, fishing (in summer), star gazing or just relaxing.
All sites are site only and no toilet or shower facilities are provided. You will need to bring your own camping toilet or self contained caravan/ camper (dump point is located in Stroud township)
We hope to make your stay a pleasurable one with many happy memories made. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Your hosts, Jo and Ian.

Escape to a peaceful countryside retreat nestled among rolling green hills and wide-open paddocks, where nature takes centre stage. This picturesque property is dotted with a thriving collection of organic and exotic fruit trees, creating a unique landscape that's bursting with colour and seasonal produce.
Christie's Creek meanders through the property, converging at two points to form beautiful swimming holes with crystal-clear water—perfect for cooling off on a warm day or simply relaxing beside the gentle flow of the creek. Three tranquil dams are also scattered throughout the property where you may spot turtles basking in the sun or fish gliding beneath the surface. As you enter through the gate there is a slice of natural rainforest to the right where you’ll find all forms of creatures great and small.
Towering 40-metre pine trees stand proudly along the property's boundaries, creating a striking natural backdrop and adding to the sense of seclusion and serenity.
Whether you're looking to unwind by the water, enjoy evenings around a campfire under the stars, or explore the peaceful surroundings, this is an ideal escape for families, couples, and nature lovers alike.

This was our 4th time at Willow Banks, first time with the Grandchildren. They absolutely loved it as much as we do. Thank you to Jo and Ian for once again being wonderful and friendly hosts. A big thank you to Ian for the tour of the property, we absolutely enjoyed hearing and seeing the history of your family property, was a privilege. We absolutely loved waking up to see and hear the cows and their calves, kids loved feeding the horses an apple. Definitely will be back, camp grounds are so well kept and private. The river is so tranquil and relaxing.

Absolutely loved the trip! The sites are very spacious, right next to a river where you can swim or use the free kayak that are available. (We even saw some turtles)
Getting to the location was very easy to find and the host were very nice. They even have a feed the farm animal where you can interact with a range of different animals ($1pp each day) it was pretty good, great for little kids. There is even a small playground with swings that can keep the small ones entertained.
There’s toilets (pits) but are very clean and looked after. No showers but there is a sink with water. No BBQ but there is a communal area that is undercover. Would recommend for a weekend away!

We had an incredible time at Mei’s campsite!! Mei and her husband were so friendly and welcoming, and Mei made sure we had everything we needed when we arrived after dark. The campsite itself was absolutely stunning, and all the other campers were super friendly too! Such a lovely experience, would highly recommend! 😊

Mei and John were fantastic hosts that were full of humour and responsive with every question we had! The site was private and quiet at night which made falling asleep very easy. The campground is large and has a private fire pit at each site for campfires. They also have a thoughtful communal area with fridges/freezers and hot showers on site. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a campsite on the mid north coast. With their constant upgrades, we can't wait to visit them again!

We had such a wonderful stay at Bundilla. Cheryl and Rick were amazing hosts. Using the canoes was a bonus and our kids loved our time there. And the drop toilets were the cleanest we have ever used! We will definitely be back
