At Neverland, you'll find 100 acres of beautiful flat land, perfect for a camping getaway.
There is a large dam for swimming and kayaking, with kayaks provided free of charge. Enjoy a hike in nature or take the bike around the tracks nearby.
Plenty of space for campers to find their own private nook, and for larger groups to spread out comfortably.
The property is just 15 minutes from Singleton main street, and also just 15 minutes from Lake St Clair! A great spot for boating!
Campfires are welcome, and we can provide a firepit if you require. We also have a camp kitchen you are welcome to use.

The campsite has an amazing view, is very quiet, and is close to nature. The toilets and showers are very clean and well-maintained. The location is also great, being close to both the beaches and town. There is even a big trampoline, which is a nice touch.
This site is highly recommended for both couples and families. Mei is a very friendly and helpful host, and we will surely come back again.

Mei was lovely and made the process easy for first-time Hipcampers. The sites are spread out and the amenities are better than I expected for camping. The views and sunset was stunning! Overall a wonderful nights stay with great beaches nearby. Our dog enjoyed it alot and I recommended it to others!

We loved the peaceful environment, lots of space to find your own little spot. Plenty of shaded options to find a respite from the sun and heat. The ponies were very friendly and cheeky, loved it. If we are in the area again would certainly stay again.

Overall, we had a positive experience. You can hear the highway since it’s nearby, but cars can’t see into the site, which was a plus. The site was clean, and it was a nice touch that bug spray and any repellent were provided. The instructions were clear, and we think it’s an ideal spot for a quick stopover on a road trip.

Riverside was a truly peaceful and special place to stay. There was so much for the kids to do — they absolutely loved swimming in the dam and paddling around in the kayaks. The river walk was a lovely activity, and feeding the horses and cows was a real highlight for them. Richard made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. We genuinely wished we could have stayed longer and would happily return.

We loved Trevor's property, it was so clean and tidy and the grounds are extremely well kept. We stayed for 2 nights to explore the Forster and Lakes areas. The stars were also amazing! Tonnes of space for the kids to run around and play. The sites are very spaced out also. Great spot.
Trevor checked in on us each day to make sure everything was going ok. We're grateful you offer your property for campers! Thank you for having us.
