We are located at the foot of the Watagan Mountains, with space, serenity, and a bit of bush magic. Whether you’re here to tackle the 4WD tracks in the Watagans, explore Lake Macquarie’s waterways, or hit the coast (just 20–40 mins away), we’ve got the perfect base for your group.
Massive, well-spaced sites surrounded by birdlife, nature, and with a friendly resident doggo. Located just one hour north of Sydney via the M1, we’re the ideal "test run" for your new camper, van, or tent—plus, we're close enough to shops if you forget the essentials!
The Facilities (The Honest Truth):
We offer a flush toilet and an outdoor warm camp shower at no extra cost to the site fees. They are functional, but they aren't "Instagrammable." If you need luxury amenities, we might not be the spot for you. But if you're here for the open space, the bush, and quality time with friends and family, you’ll love it here as much as we do.
Also we have unfenced dams and waterways, if you are camping with young children please consider carefully and let me know before booking.
Please read the site rules and camping conditions to ensure this site suits your needs.

We have several sites to offer around the property. We have a beautiful huge dam just 350m down the gully.

Nestled under the Watagan mountains escarpment in the Hunter valley, the property has some amazing views in all directions, but still remains secluded and hidden from view. The property has been selectively cleared to maintain a balance of open land and untouched bushland which has a boundary to the Watagans National Park.
The animal life is very diverse as many species transition from the Watagans into the property and many live on site full time. These include flocks of amazing bird species such as Gang gang and Black Cockatoos, resident Wedge tailed eagles, Kookaburras, finches, honey eaters, Coucals, Lyrebirds and more. Wallabies of various types are common, and Sugar gliders can be seen on the flowering Eucalypts.
The camping areas for RV's sit on a large elevated flat area that border a large gorge with broken views towards the Hunter Valley vineyards. The Gorge (or Canyon) is rimmed by caves and has rainforest type trees in the bottom. The caves can be explored and the rainforest can be walked if you are fit!
The tent and camper trailer areas are terraced into an area of slight slope with a number of sites to chose from. Non potable water taps are available at each caravan site and at intervals in the camping area. This water is clear fresh dam or bore water and can be used for showers, washing up etc. Two flush toilets are available for use by both RV's and campers. There is a central fire pit.
We have a private site which has open views over the Hunter Valley to the Vineyards and beyond to the Barrington tops. This site has a cliff edge pool that comfortably fits up to 4 people for a dip. This area has a large fire pit that can be used to heat the pool in winter.
This site has its own flushing toilet and Shower. This site is best suited to a caravan as it is terraced, though it would be possible to setup tents or a camper van in this location also. This can also be booked as a group site.

Campers can choose from two main areas:
🌿 Creekside Camping – Pitch your tent or park your van near the serene seasonal creek at the bottom of the property. After rain, the creek comes to life, offering a peaceful spot that’s perfect for unwinding.

Families are especially welcome here – there’s plenty of room for kids to ride non-motorised bikes, run around, make noise, and simply enjoy being kids in a safe and open space. It’s the kind of place where childhood adventures come alive.

In the evenings, gather around the fire pit under the stars – perfect for roasting marshmallows, sharing stories, or simply soaking in the peaceful sounds of the countryside.
As a working farm, you’ll often see cattle, sheep, and horses grazing in nearby paddocks (and if you're staying creekside, they may even share the paddock with you), adding to the authentic rural charm. Kids and adults alike love watching the animals roam.
Bring your camera, your campfire stories, and your sense of adventure – then relax under the stars. This unique slice of country life is ready to welcome you.

Martinsville, NSW · 10 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
We are located at the foot of the Watagan Mountains, with space, serenity, and a bit of bush magic. Whether you’re here to tackle the 4WD tracks in the Watagans, explore Lake Macquarie’s waterways, or hit the coast (just 20–40 mins away), we’ve got the perfect base for your group.
Massive, well-spaced sites surrounded by birdlife, nature, and with a friendly resident doggo. Located just one hour north of Sydney via the M1, we’re the ideal "test run" for your new camper, van, or tent—plus, we're close enough to shops if you forget the essentials!
The Facilities (The Honest Truth):
We offer a flush toilet and an outdoor warm camp shower at no extra cost to the site fees. They are functional, but they aren't "Instagrammable." If you need luxury amenities, we might not be the spot for you. But if you're here for the open space, the bush, and quality time with friends and family, you’ll love it here as much as we do.
Also we have unfenced dams and waterways, if you are camping with young children please consider carefully and let me know before booking.
Please read the site rules and camping conditions to ensure this site suits your needs.

There will be foot traffic and possibly tractor rides operating near some of the sites although we will do our best to respect your privacy while you are here. We also have a quarry surrounding most of the property, so they sometimes operate machinery early. This is not generally too disruptive though.

We have several sites to offer around the property. We have a beautiful huge dam just 350m down the gully.

Nestled under the Watagan mountains escarpment in the Hunter valley, the property has some amazing views in all directions, but still remains secluded and hidden from view. The property has been selectively cleared to maintain a balance of open land and untouched bushland which has a boundary to the Watagans National Park.
The animal life is very diverse as many species transition from the Watagans into the property and many live on site full time. These include flocks of amazing bird species such as Gang gang and Black Cockatoos, resident Wedge tailed eagles, Kookaburras, finches, honey eaters, Coucals, Lyrebirds and more. Wallabies of various types are common, and Sugar gliders can be seen on the flowering Eucalypts.
The camping areas for RV's sit on a large elevated flat area that border a large gorge with broken views towards the Hunter Valley vineyards. The Gorge (or Canyon) is rimmed by caves and has rainforest type trees in the bottom. The caves can be explored and the rainforest can be walked if you are fit!
The tent and camper trailer areas are terraced into an area of slight slope with a number of sites to chose from. Non potable water taps are available at each caravan site and at intervals in the camping area. This water is clear fresh dam or bore water and can be used for showers, washing up etc. Two flush toilets are available for use by both RV's and campers. There is a central fire pit.
We have a private site which has open views over the Hunter Valley to the Vineyards and beyond to the Barrington tops. This site has a cliff edge pool that comfortably fits up to 4 people for a dip. This area has a large fire pit that can be used to heat the pool in winter.
This site has its own flushing toilet and Shower. This site is best suited to a caravan as it is terraced, though it would be possible to setup tents or a camper van in this location also. This can also be booked as a group site.
16minutes to Cessnock, 25minutes to the M1, 2.25 hours to Sydney central and 25 minutes to Pokolbin.

Escape the hustle and reconnect with nature at our peaceful farmstay campsite on Putty Road, nestled in the heart of rural New South Wales. Whether you’re after wide open spaces, shady creekside relaxation, or a unique countryside experience, our working farm has something for everyone.
Campers can choose from two main areas:
🌿 Creekside Camping – Pitch your tent or park your van near the serene seasonal creek at the bottom of the property. After rain, the creek comes to life, offering a peaceful spot that’s perfect for unwinding.
🌾 Main Camping Area – Stay closer to our well-equipped amenities block, which features four clean toilets and two hot showers, along with access to power and water. This is a great option for those who prefer a few more comforts during their stay.
Families are especially welcome here – there’s plenty of room for kids to ride non-motorised bikes, run around, make noise, and simply enjoy being kids in a safe and open space. It’s the kind of place where childhood adventures come alive.
We also welcome groups – if you're interested in booking as a group, please message the host, and we can open up extra sites to accommodate you.
In the evenings, gather around the fire pit under the stars – perfect for roasting marshmallows, sharing stories, or simply soaking in the peaceful sounds of the countryside.
As a working farm, you’ll often see cattle, sheep, and horses grazing in nearby paddocks (and if you're staying creekside, they may even share the paddock with you), adding to the authentic rural charm. Kids and adults alike love watching the animals roam.
Bring your camera, your campfire stories, and your sense of adventure – then relax under the stars. This unique slice of country life is ready to welcome you.
Please note that we are currently experiencing issues with the dam retaining water. As a result, the water level is lower than usual. We are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
Also please note there is no mobile reception at the camp ground, except for limited Telstra coverage (occasionally one bar) in some spots—perfect for a digital detox!

We absolutely loved our stay in the orchard. Fabulous grassy flat ground perfect for your tent. The toilets were a short walk away. Cafe on site was great for a coffee the following morning. Each site has its own campfire and you can purchase some firewood for an extra cost. 10/10 would recommend, our highlight was strolling through the orchards and picking some fresh produce to take home with us!!

We all enjoyed staying at Jaime and Nathan’s campsite! We had plenty of privacy, a great experience picking a variety of fruits, and they were super tasty! The children also loved feeding animals and picking fruits 🥰. We highly recommend it to everyone! The only downsides were that the toilets were quite far, and the washing and shower areas were a bit dirty, but apart from that, we were all very happy with our stay! ☺️

We recently had the pleasure of camping at the Orchard and it was everything we hoped for expect an encounter with the python. Jamie and Nathan were reachable quickly and very informative which gave most of us a piece of mind. We discovered an uninvited neighbour “a diamond python” who stayed on the same spot until we had checked out. We were offered an alternative site but we chose to stay on the same site. Our kids loved picking the apples and eating them fresh from the trees. Moreover, they enjoyed feeding the animals- alpacas, goats, Guinea pig and pigs. The tractor ride was a world of fun for us. We will certainly be coming again and will be recommending to all our friends.

Absolutely fantastic! Our camp stay was so enjoyable, the place is nice and flat for the tent, safe environment and the orchard is beautiful! Being able to pick and eat the fruit, see and feed the animals and have a tractor ride was so much added fun! The staff at the cafe were lovely too.
The toilets were a little drive down the lane, would be nice if there was something closer at nighttime but can’t complain, overall it was great! Thankyou!!

We loved camping here. Jennifer was very friendly and responsive in her communication. The campsite is the perfect distance from Sydney - close while still a tranquil getaway.

We loved tent camping in the Canoelands orchard. The host was so nice and helpful. The site was private so we had a great time. Fruit picking and animal feeding etc lots of fun activities for the kids can be more enjoyable. We will definitely come back.

Loved camping here for 3 nights over Easter long weekend. Generous sized flat camping blocks in main camping area. We were site RV2. On this particular weekend sites were organised with no one camping on site 1 or 3 so we were able to spread out. Tap on each site for non potable water . Flushing toilets, hand wash and sink. Quiet. Our site had own area for camp fire or could have used communal fire. We bought own logs but some were available for purchase if needed.

We loved our stay here. As advertised, the bathrooms are a 5-10 minute walk away and the one shower is a bit old. The farm/orchard surrounding the campsite is a bit run down in areas with discarded fam supplies scattered around the fields. That being said, camp spots are generous and being surrounded by orchards is beautiful. I imaging going at different times of year would be a different experience. Enjoyed ourselves. The kids really enjoyed the tractor rides and animals - bonus.

Absolutely beautiful experience, we stayed at site 10 and it was massive more than enough space to kick ball around and the activities around the orchard were amazing. As well as a quick fish at Hawsbury river is not far at all. Th fruit was so fresh and sweet to eat and Jaime and Nathan were super accomodating and friendly.
Thank you for the best stay

This was a dream holiday for kids. The animal feeding and tractor rides were a highlight. They loved being able to go and pick a fresh tomato or two to go with our meals, or an apple for afternoon tea. The sites were well maintained and the grass was soft. We ordered firewood and fresh eggs which were there as soon as we arrived.
Be prepared for the bathroom and showering facility to be fairly basic. There is only one source of potable water, which is in the shower, so sometimes there was a bit of a wait for that. We also had no reception while there (Vodafone). These didn’t detract from our stay and we actually preferred to be off our phones, but if you weren’t aware it might be a surprise.
We already can’t wait to come back in the spring to find some new things growing in the orchard. The kids already miss the farm dogs, Stevo and Billie!

The site is as good if not better than the photos. It is a great campsite with views across the valley. Hot showers and flushing toilet in a great amenities block and the spa and campfire were incredible. Hard to believe all this is only 90 minutes out of Sydney

Where to go
Patonga
Quiet Patonga sits on the edge of the secluded Brisk Bay about an hour and a half north of Sydney by road. You can set up camp around Brisk Bay and Brisbane Water National Park, where surrounding campgrounds offer powered and unpowered sites with access to electric BBQs, showers, and laundry facilities. Camp here to be perfectly positioned for beginning the 3-kilometre Patonga to Pearl Beach walking track, which takes you through the national park and ends on a beach.
Bouddi
Wake up to the sounds of waves and wildlife in Bouddi National Park by staying at Tallow Beach, Putty Beach, or Little Beach campgrounds. Putty Beach has showers, smaller Little Beach has sheltered barbecues, and the remote, hike-in Tallow Beach is fairly basic, with just toilets. Each is just steps from the shoreline and well placed for swimming, surfing, fishing, and embarking on the park’s walking tracks, including the 8-kilometre Bouddi Coastal Walk, which runs through bush and along dramatic cliffs. Look out for migrating whales between May and November.
Gosford
The coastal town of Terrigal is known for its long stretch of white-sand beach—a major draw for surfers and fishers—while the neighbouring town of Avoca Beach is a favourite of families and the gateway to the surfing beaches of Macmasters and Copacabana. To the west, Ettalong Beach, Woy Woy, and Gosford are on the calmer waters of the barrier estuary of Brisbane Water. After enjoying all the coast has to offer, head inland for unspoilt bush camping spots.
Wyong
To the north, you’ll find more beaches and watersports at The Entrance, perhaps best-known for the spectacle of its daily pelican feeding. Minutes from The Entrance, a handful of holiday parks offer powered camping sites, wifi, and cabins. Head an hour northwest into the hinterland to Olney State Forest for its walking trails through lush native forest: Casuarina, Pines, Olney, and Turpertine sites all offer sheltered camping areas with access to barbecues, picnic areas, and toilets.
