Camping near Dungog with hiking

2 nights at Cranky Rock Hunter Valley

Was our second time back and was even better than our first time, amazing host very kind and welcoming, the river is amazing doesn’t get much better than that, very well spaced out and private, 9/10 highly recommend, will be back again soon

This camp area was beautiful. It was easy to find, Spacious, and comfortable. The owners were friendly and helpful upon arrival. My kids had a great time exploring the property and meeting the farm animals.

1 night at Willowbank

Love coming out here! It’s quiet and secluded, and there’s plenty of space between each of the sites. Stayed for 1 night and it was very chill and relaxing. Perfect for a little getaway. Joanne is a lovely host, always so welcoming.

1 night at Willowbank

My son and I booked a very last minute one night getaway and we were not disappointed! The camp sites are sooo spread out and secluded which is exactly what we wanted. We were rght beside the water, easy to get down there, provided a great firepit for us and some wood too. It's beautiful! Son caught a bass within 15minutes of fishing. A spot I'd recommend and can't wait to come back to. Ian and Jo we're really great and accommodating lovely people.

2 nights at Willowbank

What a stunning piece of paradise. We spent a rainy two days at Willowbank with our kids but still had a blast. Jo and Ian are fabulous hosts and we will be back.

3 nights at Willowbank

Amazing site and hosts. So close to everything yet miles away from the world. Relax by the river, better yet jump in the refreshing flow. If you really need it we had strong mobile reception. Be patient and quiet in the early morning, you might catch a glimpse of a Platypus. Can not talk highly enough of the hosts. Extremely welcoming, helpful and friendly. You can go wrong with a few days spend switching off here, better yet so close to supplies down the road make it a week.

2 nights at Willowbank

Friendly host and an ideal camping spot for families. The farm animals pay you a visit in the morning which the kids really enjoyed. Easy and safe access to the river.

Beautiful camp site and lovely host. Well worth having your next adventure here relaxing by the beautiful river or swimming. Will definitely be back in the future.

1 night at Fame Mountain Camp - pets welcome

Friendly, welcoming and a nice secluded spot. We will definitely visit again, so worth the drive, a couple of hours up the road. Swimming in the river, a game of Bocce on a frequently mowed lawn, a great place to chill out and relax. Thank you for letting us enjoy yr property. Bron and Kyle from Central Coast NSW

1 night at Willowbank

We camped overnight in our campervan and it was delightful. There were no other campers, and it was so peaceful next to the Rapids. The river front camping is a treat, and Joanne and Ian are terrific hosts to deal with. You can buy firewood for $18 but recommend you akso bring your own if you want a substantial campfire. Thanks Jianne for everything, including a smooth chain if communication and checking. We will be back! Sue and Geoff

Absolutely beautiful campsite! The sunset was amazing and the bathrooms were soo good! So much provided and well worth the money. Greete so nicely too. We would be back in a heartbeat, and probably will!

We absolutely loved our stay on Joanne & Ian’s property. Thank you both so much for your hospitality. Really helpful getting our van into position. Stunning farm on the river with no one in sight. We purchased wood extra which was a fantastic option, fire pit was also really handy which meant we didn’t need to use ours. Thanks again, we will be back for longer next time.

Ian and Jo's property was absolutely lovely. The weather was perfect which only made the trip even better. This was our first time using Hipcamp and I probably had more questions than usual but Jo answered them all and promptly at that. Ian brought down a fit pit he had made and we used it for cooking on the fire. I would recommend this site and the lovely hosts.

Weekend Trip to Fame Mountain Camp - pets welcome

We stayed for one night at the rapids and it was so lovely and peaceful. Plenty of privacy, a great spot to relax and enjoy some time away. Joanne was very welcoming. Will definitely return!

3 nights at Willowbank

We really enjoyed staying at She Oaks. Lovely flat spot with a great view. Kids had hours of fun mucking around down at the river. Jo and Ian were very welcoming hosts. Hope to come back again soon.

A fantastic site with amazing views and extremely accommodating hosts. Will definitely stay again.

Weekend Trip to Fame Mountain Camp - pets welcome

We loved camping at Famed Mountain. Perfect for our quick getaway from the concrete jungle! Thanks for the personal touches too.

Weekend Trip to Abstobys Retreat

Great overall campground. The area provided is lovely lush green grass and plenty of level parking for vehicles. The creek was a little bit smelly at times but not bad enough to want to leave. The camping area would benefit from some camping zones to make it clear to other campers the suitable areas to park. Still plenty of room with sites completely booked ( 3 sites ). Overall would recommend and look forward to staying again.

Loved our night at Willowbank, will definitely be coming back. Our campsite was the Rapids and we were maybe 100m from the next closest camper, so plenty of privacy. The water was beautiful to listen to and watch. There was shade from the morning sun. Land was pretty flat so didn’t need to lift any wheels. We paid for firewood and it was waiting for us on our site, with kindling and enough to last the night, good dry wood too. Not too far from Newwy.

2 nights at Willowbank

What a great spot along the Karuah river. Easy access to the river. Great spot to swim, and or let your dogs swim. Horses and cattle came to say hello(behind the fence so not at campsite. Night sky is fantastic. And Jo and Ian are superb hosts! Very friendly and accommodating. We would've loved to stay longer. So we'll have to come back one day.

Noonameena

Noonameena is a beautiful retreat that feels secluded from the world, yet is just a stones throw from shops, beach, good food and parklands. We offer a number of grassy, level sites, some with shade, others with sun, all with bushland to the rear. There is also a pond/dam area, and lots of wildlife. We have a fire pit for communal use. The kangaroos will come and visit you early in the morning, and in the evening. You will also see lots of different parrots and birds. We even have goannas and echidnas about and the black cockatoos will come in for a visit. You will need to bring your own camp toilet, as we don't have facilities here. Pets are welcome but please keep them on a lead at all times as we have lots of wildlife around! Please note, when we have heavy rain, the ground can get boggy. We are very mindful to keep tabs on the weather for our guests, and will be in good communication with you in the lead up to your stay should we suspect there to be any issues. Whilst camping by the beautiful dam is lovely in fine weather, when it's raining, it’s best to camp towards the front of the property on higher ground. We'll advise the best solution in these circumstances. LET US KNOW about your preferred booking even if it appears booked out, as we can probably make it work or have ALTERNATIVE solutions for you!
