Wot Doin is a great weekend on our beautiful property 20 minutes north of Bulahdelah. The vibe is warm, friendly, and delightfully rustic with everybody connected in some way.
Most people stay on site in tents, vans, cars, or swags. Camp sites will be on a 'first-in, first-choice' basis. Bringing your own water is recommended as there is only limited water available (and it's a long walk from where you will be camping), and you can't have too many torches. Camp stove, kettle, and cooking implements along with lightweight camping chairs are a good idea. Arriving early is also a good idea. The music starts at 11:00 am on Saturday. There is limited mobile reception.
The usual principles of leave no trace apply. Bring everything you need - leave nothing behind. It's a manicured rural property so sorry, no pets or open fires.
Some people choose to stay in nearby accommodation which you'll find online - search "Upper Myall".

For ten years now performers have supported Wot Doin as a no-worries, good-fun party with "stump up" paddock donations being passed on to the working musos - and it's been brilliant. But Covid was tough on the arts, so we want to step up and help by ensuring that we look after the amazing musicians who make Wot Doin so great.
This time you pay for your camping spot or day visit and the funds go to the performers. And the performances are going to blow your mind.

Wot Doin is a great weekend on our beautiful property 20 minutes north of Bulahdelah. The vibe is warm, friendly, and delightfully rustic with everybody connected in some way.
Most people stay on site in tents, vans, cars, or swags. Camp sites will be on a 'first-in, first-choice' basis. Bringing your own water is recommended as there is only limited water available (and it's a long walk from where you will be camping), and you can't have too many torches. Camp stove, kettle, and cooking implements along with lightweight camping chairs are a good idea. Arriving early is also a good idea. The music starts at 11:00 am on Saturday. There is limited mobile reception.
The usual principles of leave no trace apply. Bring everything you need - leave nothing behind. It's a manicured rural property so sorry, no pets or open fires.
Some people choose to stay in nearby accommodation which you'll find online - search "Upper Myall".

For ten years now performers have supported Wot Doin as a no-worries, good-fun party with "stump up" paddock donations being passed on to the working musos - and it's been brilliant. But Covid was tough on the arts, so we want to step up and help by ensuring that we look after the amazing musicians who make Wot Doin so great.
This time you pay for your camping spot or day visit and the funds go to the performers. And the performances are going to blow your mind.

A lovely spot. A very comfortable stay camping for the night with all the essential amenities close by. Louise was very welcoming and informative. Nice quite location with limited number of sites. Definitely bring the mozzie repellent, but it didn't get uncomfortable.

Beautiful spot! The views were amazing and the sunset unreal. Mei and family were super friendly and helpful and the space is very welcoming and inviting. The land is big enough that you feel semi private in your camping spot but with clean and high quality toilets and showers and a great communal area for relaxing, games and sheltering from the weather

We had a great time at Fame Mountain camp.
The sites were spacious and gave us privacy. On quiet nights, it felt like we had the place to ourselves.
The toilets/facilities were really clean which is such a rarity at camp! Our little ones kept describing the toilets and hot showers as ‘luxurious’.
Each site had a fire pit. The free firewood and Zooper Dooper for the kids were a huge hit.
Beaches and hikes were only a 15mins drive away. Super convenient.
Mei and John were very lovely and made sure we were enjoying our stay. We would definitely come back again. Thanks for having us!

I stayed here for a night before heading back to Sydney, I wish I had time for 2 nights.
Amenities were impeccable, the sites had their own fire pits. I even saw a dear roaming around.

Unfortunately had to cut my time a little short due to the weather but my time at Camp on Elderslie was fantastic. Dog friendly which is a must for me, super quiet and seems very isolated considering it’s less than 10mins from town. Bit of a walk to the river but well worth it, my doggo loved the water as did I. Will be looking to return in the next few months. Great Hipcamp. Enjoyed my time.

A group of 10 of us spent the weekend at Mei’s place and had the best time! Lots of activities nearby with easy access to and from. Heaps of amenities on the site including showers, toilets, games room, fridges, campfires… not to mention a sweet view. Mei was also super helpful and easy-going. We will be back again very soon!
