Weekend Trip to Halifax Hill

Peaceful camping ground, an easy 5 minute bike ride from St Albans. Plenty of camping positions to choose from. We took our 18ft van and had plenty of level ground for our full site set up. Lovely and welcoming hosts. Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Halifax Hill

Great little spot near St Albans, couple minutes drive. Arrived after dark, found everything easily. Great communication and accommodating host, can wholeheartedly recommend!

1 night at Ingenia Holidays One Mile Beach

Absolutely gorgeous beaches. Very clean washrooms. It would be preferable if either reception was open later or there was a way to communicate without phone calls for people who are without a cell phone.

Weekend Trip to The Branch River Retreat

Great views from the balcony over the dam, a beautiful quiet spot.

Weekend Trip to Cranky Rock Hunter Valley

It was a beautiful location, just perfect for a peaceful getaway. Was not crowded which was the best thing and relaxing. View was mind blowing and very easy to get there if you follow instructions.

Weekend Trip to Cranky Rock Hunter Valley

Would absolutely recommend for solo travelers and families. There are cows on the property that come and say hello. The views are incredible, especially if you wake up early to see the sunrise above the trees. The property is enough off the main road that you don’t see anyone or hear cars but still close to town that you can pop in for a coffee or explore. The camp site is very big so that you and other campers aren’t right next to each other. Will definitely be back! Can’t recommend enough!

3 nights at Wombat's Forrest

We absolutely loved our stay here. The location makes you feel like you are in a tropical rainforest and is completely private. The amenities for the sky cabin was lovely with a well equipped kitchen and hot shower. The place was ideal for groups and families with large areas to bond around a fireplace and location is a short drive away to activities in the Lake Macquarie and Hunter Valley. Thanks for our stay and we would definitely stay again.

Weekend Trip to Wattle Valley Farm

Lovely location (hidden away behind some windy roads). Very well spaced out sites and more private sites further in. No phone coverage which to me is a plus 😂 Owners were nice and friendly. About 5 minutes from town (expect tourist pricing for everything except the pub). Would be happy to spend a long weekend there again!

Weekend Trip to Wattle Valley Farm

Lovely family friendly campground, easy access and open space.

Weekend Trip to Wattle Valley Farm

We had a great 2 nights at Wattle Farm - our first time camping with our young kids. Toilets & showers were clean, checkin super easy and hosts very friendly and welcoming. Sites well spaced for privacy. Only recommendation would be a lock on the family shower room. Thanks for a great stay, we hope to come back again soon!

Weekend Trip to Wattle Valley Farm

We had a lovely quiet camp spot. Toilets & showers were clean & tidy & no waiting despite the site being half full. Not to far to venture into Wollembi for a look around (including a drink at the Tavern & a coffee) Enjoyed a relaxing stay. Matt & Jenna were lovely explaining where things were on arrival. Great girls weekend away.

Weekend Trip to Wattle Valley Farm

We had a great weekend at Wattle Valley Farm and would recommend this site. The campsites are nicely separated and clearly marked with open fireplaces and firewood available. The facilities are clean and private with hot showers and flushing toilets. A neighbouring wedding venue provided some Saturday night entertainment which we enjoyed but if you’re looking for a quiet site this may be problematic. The hosts were lovely, very accommodating and highly organised with their set up.

2 nights at Mt Nellinda Campsite

We had an awesome stay! Joe was super friendly and explained everything when we arrived. We stayed at campsite 6 it’s secluded on top of the mountain with amazing views over the valley. You’ll need a 4WD to get there, but it’s totally worth it. We’ll definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Cranky Rock Hunter Valley

For a one night stay the camping grounds were accomodating with amenities, location from Syd and peace and quiet. Was also woken up from a herd of cows, super fun. Highly recommend!!

Weekend Trip to Mt Nellinda Campsite

Loved it, but electricity and toilet on all sites would be game changing...

2 nights at Mistinthegumtrees BUDGET 2 GLAMPING

I camped over Easter long weekend. Carol was very accomodating and a wonderful host. Congratulations on the fantastic work done to the property. It is conveniently located to the M1 but also Awaba mountain bike park (key reason for our visit). Campers will find a nice and quiet location, with plenty of space.

Weekend Trip to Ingenia Holidays Hunter Valley

Friendly reception team & very clean camp! Would stay again.
