Alongside the horses, and farm animals, you’ll find a space that feels both grounding and welcoming. Enjoy boutique camping under the stars, wander along scenic bush walks, or spend the day exploring the beautiful local beaches, reserves and local coastline. We’re just eight minutes from shops, beaches, and a medical clinic in Anna Bay, 15 minutes from Nelson Bay, and only a short stroll down the road to Murrays Winery (B Farm). Whether you’re seeking a convenient spot to stop over, time connecting with nature or adventure along the coast, Tinker Farm offers the perfect sanctuary.

This site is exactly as described in the listing. It is a simple site that was an ideal stopover for us. It is well located, an easy drive to local areas including Shoal Bay. Plenty of space between pitches so we had our own little spot. No complaints from us. We were aware of the proximity to the road, so used ear plugs and had an undisturbed night's sleep. Can't speak to the facilities as we didn't use them. It may not be for everyone but I think Anouke and Sacha have been clear about the site and what to expect.

Peaceful and secluded campsite even in the middle of school holidays. Very helpful hosts. Great location, a few mins from Anna Bay, Nelson Bay and Stockton Sands etc. There is a bit of road noise at night, but not enough to stop anyone from sleeping. Was a very enjoyable stay and we would happily recommend to others, and plan to go back ourselves.

We camped there the October long weekend, so naturally it was busy, however we still managed to get a spot right on the river. Despite being busy, we weren't camping in each other's pockets, like at traditional caravan parks. It is an amazing spot! Our kids spent the day floating down the river, they absolutely loved it.

We loved our stay at Lostock Dam Caravan Park! A peaceful, well-maintained spot perfect for slowing down and soaking up nature. The wide open camping area has power, a dump point, and beautiful views of the dam wall, with a lovely creek and walking track nearby. There are fire pits, picnic tables, a playground for the kids, and the loveliest hosts who make you feel right at home. The road in is a little windy, but once you arrive, it’s more than worth it — we’ll definitely be back!

Hobby farm in Port Stephens — secluded but not far from everything. It is situated near the Pacific Highway side of the port, with plenty of clear areas to park. You can also enjoy some bushwalking if interested. There are sheep on the property roaming around, along with some chickens. It’s a convenient place to stay if you are looking for an overnight resting spot, or even for a longer stay, as you can use it as a base camp to be near the places you want to visit during the day.

At the foot of the Watagan mountains, close to the Watagan 4WD tracks, picnic areas, and bike tracks. Also close to Lake Macquarie where you will find fishing, boating, kayaking, canoeing etc. About a 20 - 40 min drive to beautiful beaches. Ideal for those wanting to be surrounded by birds, nature and a couple of friendly doggos. Also great for people wanting to try out their new camper, van or tent for the 1st time as we are an easy 1 hour drive north of Sydney on the M1 and close enough to shops for those forgotten items. Also we have unfenced dams and waterways, if you are camping with young children please consider carefully and let me know before booking. We have very basic bathroom facilities of 1 flushing toilet in the shed and an outdoor warm shower. Please read the site rules and camping conditions to ensure this site suits your needs.

Spirit of the Forest is one of the oldest properties in the area. Many years ago it was an old dairy farm, but it has been through many transitions since then.... uniquely situated only a few kms. from the majestic "Grandis" tree it has an abundance of wildlife close by, wallabies come out to feed on the pasture at dusk and dawn, mighty eagles soar overhead and beautiful Arabian horses run free in the paddocks. Trevor and Maya moved here from Berry NSW 17 years ago. Trevor is an internationally acclaimed entertainer and horse whisperer and Maya is an artist, author and lecturer. Both found the property a haven from their busy schedule of performing overseas. A unique 70 acre Arabian horse property, surrounded by Myall Lakes National Park 4 kms from "The Grandis" the tallest tree in NSW and 10 kms from Bulahdelah Town also near to beautiful North Coast beaches. There are many beautiful areas to choose from to camp, as well as a cabin.
