With its large, secluded Bush Campsites, 'Chapman Valley' is still Sydney's best-kept secret!
Picture this. Your weekend escape is relaxed from the very start - the car trip along the scenic winding Putty Road is slow and leisurely as you know you can arrive at any time for the self serve check-in.
After signing in, you meander through this Beef Cattle farm, heading to your own designated camping area. A private corner of the property all to yourselves! After setting up camp, and showing off your awesome (of course) campfire lighting skills, you sink back in your camp-chair and listen to ...the bush.
And you see ...the bush. Not a single other camper in site. Oh, except the ones you invited with you of course!
There they are. The kids running enthusiastically across the open paddock chasing after their footy, with Buster, the family dog happily nipping at their heels.
"They'll sleep well tonight!" you think to yourself happily, as you sink further into your camp-chair and take a long drink on that ice cold beer.
1hr drive from the nearest town (Singleton), "Chapman Valley" is the perfect oasis for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle. There are no nearby shops so be sure to bring everything with you. The property offers over 100kms of bush tracks ideal for walking, push-bike riding or 4WDing.

It was such an amazing spot to go camping for the summer.
Absolute favourite part of the location was how high the quality of the grass was, just as good as a golf course.
Also we had a quick drive up to the hunter valley which was a fun day time activity to do too.
The horses were also adorable!!

This is honestly the most private camping I’ve ever experienced. If you’ve got a 4WD and want to feel completely tucked away and on your own, without actually being hours from the city, this place is perfect.
The check-in process was one of a kind. Debbie had an individual info pack ready with our name on it and a camper-specific map, which made finding the site super easy. Toilets, tracks, sites – everything was clearly marked on paper that you just take with you. Not having someone escort you in actually added to the feeling of freedom, it really felt like we were just driving in and camping on our own land.
Once you’re at camp it honestly feels like no one else is around. It’s the best place I’ve stayed for peace, isolation and privacy, and I’ll 100% be coming back with more friends and family.
Debbie’s communication was quick and clear the whole way through, and we knew we could call her anytime if we needed anything.
If you like total isolation and your own space, this place is for you.

The best decision we could have made to stay for our time at the Hunter Valley.
We stayed down by the dam and had access to water and power. Beautiful grassy area and so quiet. Felt like there was no one else around.
Make sure you do the wine tasting. Excellent, and a lot of fun.
Thanks for having us guys, and making our stay great.

My favourite go-to campsite & the place we keep coming back to. We love the sites here, especially the private bush sites that make you feel like you're a whole world away.

Great place for camping and pet friendly. Amazing camp-site and location. Plenty of different camp-sites to book. Hideaway Hollow was very private and plenty of space with 2 dogs running around. Definitely recommended and will be going back again.

The best camping near Glenworth Valley with horseback riding guide
Where to go
Popran National Park
A short drive from Glenworth Valley, the Popran National Park is a great day-trip destination for campers in the area as there are no campsites within the park itself. Visitors can hike, mountain bike, kayak, fish, ride horses, and spot birds and animals. The park also protects a number of Aboriginal sites and there’s a picnic area. Most roads to the park require a four-wheel-drive vehicle.
Brisbane Water National Park
Just southeast of Glenworth Valley, the Brisbane Water National Park offers walks, cycling, and fishing, and has some ancient Aboriginal rock art sites. There’s a small, basic bush tent site within the park or visitors can stay at Glenworth Valley or nearby coastal campsites at Umina or Gosford and make day trips into the park. Road access into this park does not require a four-wheel-drive vehicle so this is a good option for casual visits.
Dharug National Park
West of Glenworth Valley, on the other side of Mangrove Creek (a tributary of the Hawkesbury River), the large Dharug National Park contains the UNESCO-listed Old Great North Road hike. There are also other hiking and cycling routes and two campsites. The Ten Mile Hollow Campground is small and free to stay at (although bookings are required), while the Mill Creek Campground is larger and has more facilities, and fees apply.
When to go
Spring and autumn are the best times to visit the Glenworth Valley area for hiking, biking, kayaking, and horse-riding adventures. The weather is most comfortable then. Summers are hot and the risk from bushfires is high, but this is a good season if you want to visit the nearby beaches of the Central Coast. Winters are mild but often wet, and glamping or staying in a cabin or cottage would be most comfortable.
