51km from Kandos · 8 sites · Tents, RVs

Nestled in the peaceful locality of Frog Rock, only 15 minutes from the charming rural town of Mudgee, this property offers a true country escape with front-row seats to nature’s evening show - Roos, wombats, views, sunsets and starry nights. Each campsite has its own unique outlook—some are tucked away for those chasing solitude, while others are perfect for groups wanting to share the experience. All sites are self-contained, and we kindly ask guests to leave the place as they found it. Pack out what you pack in—take only photographs and leave only footprints. There’s nothing quite like a campfire to bring people together. So bring your marshmallows, your favourite drinks, and your best stories—or dancing boots, if that’s more your vibe. Firewood is available and fires are allowed in designated areas only, pending local fire restrictions. Wildlife lovers, you’re in for a treat. Eastern Grey kangaroos, Swamp wallabies, and even the majestic Wallaroo often make an appearance and if you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the Red-necked wallaby. By night, the Common wombat comes out for a graze and spotlighting campers may see possums and owls in the trees. Please respect our wild locals and ensure all dogs are kept on lead. Just 7 minutes down the road is Small Batch Brewery—a local favourite for craft beer lovers—and the iconic Cooyal Pub is within easy reach. Of course, Mudgee’s renowned wineries are right around the corner, waiting to be explored. Frog Rock Hideaway is your perfect base to unwind, reconnect, and soak up the best of country NSW.

We loved our stay. The camp spot is beautiful and peaceful. Really close to Mudgee town and surrounding wineries. Adam gave us some great advice on where to go and what to see and we’d really recommend staying at this tranquil camp spot.

We had a wonderful stay at Frog Rock Hollow. Site 8 had a lovely outlook with the backdrop of the granite boulders. Lots of wildlife, a great fire pit and dog friendly we stayed an extra night because we loved it so much. It has a great proximity to the wineries and national park and TJ and Kevin were very responsive hosts.

The views overlooking the dam & hills are beautiful. Directions to property are easy. So convenient to town, but far enough away to fell secluded. Will return soon.

Had a good two night stay here. Nice easy access spot for our van. Lovely clean drop toilet with outdoor sink. Fire pit was a bonus to sit around and have a wine as sunset. We're able to gather kindling and some firewood just outside property or bring your own. Close to Mudgee and surrounds for wine tasting and lunch. Only minus was traffic noise, but only during daylight hours, no problem at night.Had a great stay.

Bare open paddock with a fixed fire and a great composting loo (best ive ever used). A little road noise if youre used to dead silence but not intrusive. Not somewhere you'd sit and stay but great for a base to explore from.

We loved our stay at Dunollie Ridge. The view over the dam and property is beautiful, with lots of farm animals roaming around the property. The campsite is very private and has multiple fire pits. Adam was a fantastic host and had some great tips on places to visit in Mudgee. I would highly recommend Dunollie Ridge if you're looking for an off-grid farm stay close to Mudgee.

Weekend Trip to Sofala

We stayed at site 8. The boat was great - called ahead of time and met us at the gate to show us to the camp site, very friendly bloke. Camp site was very private, we stayed on the October long weekend and didn't see anyone else (can sort of see the neighbours, but +200m away through trees). Site was quite large and next to the creek. Creek was flowing, deep enough for a quick dip but not to deep enough to swim in. You will want a 4WD/SUV to get to the site.

Our family loved camping on Adams land. He was friendly and approachable and we enjoyed a roaring fire using firewood provided by him. He was also kind enough to let us fill our caravan water tanks using his tank water. My wife and kids especially enjoyed their time with his farm animals including his dogs which came to visit us. Thanks Adam, we hope to stay again with you in the future.

Weekend Trip to Romanche Gap Mudgee

This was my first time using hipcamp and my first time solo camping with my dogs. It was a great spot for this purpose. Almost completely doggy proof fences (my 25-30kg dogs could probably fit through the fence at the entrance if they wanted but they never tried). My dogs loved all the space and it made my day to watch them run around all happy 🙂 The paddock with the toilet and power is right next to the road so you do get the occassional noise of passing vehicles. It is also the paddock right next to the house but there is plenty of space to keep your distance and I never saw anyone while I was there. Compost toilet set up was very convenient. I thought it would be your standard gross drop toilet but it was clean, no smells, instructions on how to use correctly. Sink outside to wash your hands with soap provided. The firepit area is beautiful. They left some wood for me to use but I had brought my own. It being a paddock there's not really any shade so it wouldn't be a good place for a summer camp but it was perfect for winter.
