The Facilities (The Honest Truth):
We offer a flush toilet and an outdoor warm camp shower at no extra cost to the site fees. They are functional, but they aren't "Instagrammable." If you need luxury amenities, we might not be the spot for you. But if you're here for the open space, the bush, and quality time with friends and family, you’ll love it here as much as we do.
Also we have unfenced dams and waterways, if you are camping with young children please consider carefully and let me know before booking.
Please read the site rules and camping conditions to ensure this site suits your needs.

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.

Massive, well-spaced sites surrounded by birdlife, nature, and with a friendly resident doggo. Located just one hour north of Sydney via the M1, we’re the ideal "test run" for your new camper, van, or tent—plus, we're close enough to shops if you forget the essentials!
The Facilities (The Honest Truth):
We offer a flush toilet and an outdoor warm camp shower at no extra cost to the site fees. They are functional, but they aren't "Instagrammable." If you need luxury amenities, we might not be the spot for you. But if you're here for the open space, the bush, and quality time with friends and family, you’ll love it here as much as we do.
Also we have unfenced dams and waterways, if you are camping with young children please consider carefully and let me know before booking.
Please read the site rules and camping conditions to ensure this site suits your needs.

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.

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!

We just spent three nights at Willowbank Hipcamp on the Riverview site, and it was incredible. The spot is beautifully maintained, wonderfully private, and set right on the stunning river. From our first enquiry to our final day, Jo and Ian were perfect hosts. We loved the amazing birdlife, swimming in the cascades, and relaxing by the fire under the stars each night. Willowbank — we can’t wait to return!

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.

We had the most wonderful weekend away at Willowbank, campsite- The Rapids. Joanne was a gracious, attentive host with excellent communication. The site was gorgeous-well maintained and picturesque, situated above the gorgeous running river.
We all loved swimming in the rapids and deep water hole, cooking over an open flame and watching the adjacent cattle roam in the nearby paddock.
Thank you Joanne. We will be back!

Group trip
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!

We loved our stay at Fame Mountain campground- the facilities were spotless and it was so relaxing to sit around the fire pit with free wood and watch the sunset. Would 100% recommend and would love to come back one day!

I had a fantastic time here at David’s place. I stayed in canyon camp for two nights and wish it had been longer. There was so much to explore and so peaceful. A great place to unplug and reset.

Good place to stay in Port Stephens. It is a place where there are not many campers so it is usually quiet. There is a small river that runs through the property

Willow bank is an amazing property with lots of peace and quiet. All sites are far enough apart that you can't see or hear any other campers. Not long had our second visit there and will definitely be back. Ian and Jo are great hosts with a few tips on local places to visit and the best pub meal.

We loved camping at Louise’s place! Beautifully quiet & isolated yet a short drive to all of the bay’s attractions & beaches. We had plenty of space around our caravans while we enjoyed the starry nights & our camp fire. The shower & toilet shed & camp kitchen were perfect for our needs.
Louise is an amazing host, very friendly & helpful.

Stayed at the paperbarks camp and it was just the best… very relaxing and peaceful spot. Even had the horses come up to camp to say hello… was so easy to get to the camp and the host was very helpful in getting us to our spot. Was close to Stroud for a trip in for some lunch. Will definitely be back

Where to go
Pokolbin
As well as boasting the cellar doors of some of Australia’s most famous wine labels, including Tyrrells and McGuigan, Pokolbin is home to the Hunter Valley Gardens. An eight-kilomtre walking track leads you through 10 themed gardens, including an oriental garden, Italian grotto, and a storybook garden for kids.
Lovedale
Best known for the annual event the Lovedale Long Lunch, a progressive-style feast that takes you to several wineries, Lovedale has lots to offer year-round. Take in the views over the vineyards, trot over the Molly Morgan Range on a horse-riding adventure, or indulge at Hunter Valley Chocolate Company.
Werakata National Park
Lace up your hiking boots and pack a picnic lunch for a day out in Werakata National Park in the Lower Hunter Valley. Bursting with wildflowers in spring, the park is a great place to spot birds such as the threatened swift parrot and regent honeyeater. Here you’ll find numerous walking paths, bike tracks, and picnic areas.
