The best river, stream, or creek caravan sites in Hunter Valley guide

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.
