62km from Kandos · 1 site · RVSet on 350 acres we offer self-contained campers the opportunity to escape from the hustle and bustle and take some time out in this beautiful bushland retreat. Our site is exclusive use so you and your group can chill out with the company of kangaroos by day and firelight and stunning stars by night.
Just over 2 hours drive from Sydney CBD we are in the heart of Darkinjung Country, bordered by the Wollemi and Yengo National Parks. Enjoy the spectacular views as you wind your way along Putty Road passing through farmland, bushland and past rural post boxes.
Our property has a 7km walking track around it with a beautiful valley, interesting rock formations, 1 million trees (or so we have been told!) and creek crossings to navigate. Keep your eyes peeled for kangaroos, wombats, koalas, goannas and all manner of native birds and plants. We also have a shallow creek a stone's throw from the camping site, perfect for paddling or exploring.
If the peace and quiet gets a little too quiet(!) nearby activities include horse-riding, off-road driving, and the Hunter Valley wineries are just over an hour’s drive away.
We (Mark, Sam and Whiskey the labradoodle) can’t wait to welcome you to our little piece of bushland paradise.
Other things to note:
- There are no facilities at the campsite, so self-contained campers only (you need your own toilet).
- The nearest shops are an hour's drive away so make sure you bring all food and drinking water for your stay.
- The property is off-grid with limited phone reception (Telstra only).
- Camp fires are allowed except during fire bans and firewood is available for $20 per stay.
- The maintenance of the track is dependent on when we last worked on it, so you may find yourself creek jumping and making your own path through the vegetation (things grow fast at Putty!).
- Off-leash dogs very welcome though please note the camping area is not fully fenced.
