Weekend Trip to Willowbank

Amazing spot hosted by amazing people. Thanks again for letting us stay. Beautiful flat green patch right next to the river but not right next to your neighbours. Easy access. Nice big fire pit.

Weekend Trip to Willowbank

Amazing place! So private and peaceful. Beautiful spot on the river with plenty of room for the kids to run around. Jo & Ian were more than welcoming and helpful! This will definitely be a regular camp spot for us.

Weekend Trip to Willowbank

We loved camping here. We stayed at the She Oaks site, no problem getting our caravan to the site. Site was big, grassy and right on the river. Can’t wait to come back in the summer time. Joanne was very responsive to questions and was a lovely host. Already looking to book our next stay.

Weekend Trip to Fame Mountain Camp - pets welcome

We have a wonderful stay at Fame Mountain camp. Mei was extremely welcoming and let us pick the best spot for us :) the toilets and showers were well kept and it was great having free firewood. Fab location and beautiful setting!

Weekend Trip to Fame Mountain Camp - pets welcome

Unbelievable camp spot with the most beautiful sunsets. Great amenities - toilets, hot showers, fridge/freezer and drinking water. Mei also supply’s a table, chairs, fire pit and firewood. Glamping! Great for dogs to roam free. We will be back.

Weekend Trip to Willowbank

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Willowbank. We stayed on the Rapids site which was a very generous, grassy site backing on to the Karauh River. There was a constant sound from the river flowing by which we quickly adjusted to and enjoyed. Behind our campsite was an access track leading from the cattle paddocks to our site and to one further campsite, Riverview, a good distance away from us. We were the only campers in the cool June weather so there was no river swimming but we enjoyed the peace and quiet of the campsite. We were shaded in the morning but received enough solar energy in the afternoon, to top up our battery. Jo directed us on some walks around the farm which included a lovely view of the surrounding district. Ian and Jo welcomed us on to their property and were willing to stop and talk while working. The fire wood was very generous and burnt exceptionally well in their fire pit. We saw some lovely sunsets and mists down the valley in the mornings. Stroud was a lovely town to explore and all the shops and services were excellent. We look forward to returning and exploring Barrington Tops which was closed after the floods.

2 nights at Quorragami

Weekend Trip to Quorragami

Damien and Charly’s property is incredible. We had a short stay at the private canyon view site and the view and amenities were some of the best we’ve ever experienced at a camp site.

2 nights at Willowbank

The hosts, Ian & Jo were very accommodating and easy to communicate with. They went above and beyond, to help us get the most out of our stay. We had some great chats!! The site was picturesque, clean, quiet, and just as described. The booking was a smooth and enjoyable experience overall. We'd be happy to stay again and would recommend it to others looking for a peaceful spot!

4 nights at Willowbank

This was our third stay (and third site), and this Riverfront site is another little slice of paradise on this property! It was too chilly to swim this stay, but we enjoyed a morning trip into the beautiful town of Stroud, sunny days hanging out around our site, beautiful sunsets and warm campfires. The hosts are super friendly and accommodating and will check in on you throughout your stay. We have already booked another winter weekend stay. Thanks again Jo and Ian!

Weekend Trip to Wollombi flats camping

The property was beautiful & in an ideal location. Jason was super accommodating, and very reliable with communication. We’ll definitely be staying there again!!

Weekend Trip to Camp on Hunter (Elderslie)

Lots of options to park up. Some flat some you will need to level yourself out. Heaps of amenities and a great friendly host.

Weekend Trip to Camp on Hunter (Elderslie)

Camp on Hunter was a beautiful and serene getaway. The beautiful Hunter River set the scene for an amazing sunset. Allan came by and made sure we were well equipped with ample firewood. We were self sufficient with our own amenities but it was good to know there were added facilities such as a camp kitchen with toaster, fridge and cooking facilities as well as basic toilets and hot showers. Hunter Valley vineyards were only 10klms away for a nice drive and some beautiful restaurants. Would definitely recommend Camp on Hunter.

Weekend Trip to Camp on Hunter (Elderslie)

Great location nice level sites suitable for both Caravans and camping. Each site has its own fire pit and toilets are spaced out throughout the site. Hot shower facility is also available onsite. The beauty of Camp on Hunter is that guests are not jammed in like sardines ensuring that ample space is available to all guests. I would highly recommend this hip camp to all. Hats off to Allan and Sue for providing such a great facility to the general public.

Weekend Trip to Camp on Hunter (Elderslie)

Camp on Hunter is a fabulous site. Allan is a wonderful host, very friendly and will pop by each day to say hello and make sure you have everything you need. Clean amenities and the shed has a fire place with appliances, places to sit and is somewhere to keep warm/protected if needed. We cannot wait to return. Thank you for a fantastic long weekend.

Weekend Trip to Mt Nellinda Campsite

So many spots to choose from, Joe was a great host, so friendly. Would definitely stay again

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!

No limit on number of tents. 2) IF You Have more than 3 vehicles/site please contact host before booking. 3) Depending on the weather on the day, we may have to limit the number of vehicles that can be parked adjacent to your campsite. 4) NO late night check in . If you are a group larger than two people the check in time is between midday and sunset. Do not arrive after sunset. The reason being if you are a large group turning up late, you will ruin the camping experience of other campers who got there earlier to watch the sunset and just chill. Furthermore, the sunsets are one of the reasons people come here. Every single day it is totally different. If you arrive late you have missed it.... 5) As the business name suggests (mountain) our property is on a slope. We do have several flat areas for tents , hybrids, camper vans and small caravans. And we have 6 levelling blocks scattered across the sites. Dead flat is a concrete slab at any caravan park anywhere but not here.

Camping near Clarence Town guide

Overview

About an hour's drive north of Newcastle along the Williams River, Clarence Town is small enough to be overlooked by most visitors to the region, but with three national parks right on its doorstep, it’s a great base for outdoor activities. Once you’ve explored the small town centre and enjoyed fishing along the river, head to Columbey National Park to go horseback riding or mountain biking, explore the woodland trails of Wallaroo National Park, or drive your 4WD through Karuah National Park to camp by the riverside. The picturesque vineyards and award-winning wineries of the Hunter Valley Wine Region are also within easy reach, and the UNESCO-listed rainforest of Barrington Tops National Park is within an hour's drive. For campers, there’s a riverside holiday park, which has powered sites and is dog-friendly, along with plenty of Hipcamps dotted along the coast and through the sloping hills of the Hunter Valley.
