4 nights at Vans in the Vines Mudgee

We had a wonderful stay at Van in the Vines. The location is absolutely picturesque, set right amongst the vines, making it a truly peaceful and scenic spot to unwind. We were also fortunate to be there on a Friday night and enjoy their delicious wood-fired pizzas—such a great bonus! The site is central and convenient for exploring the area, yet still feels private and relaxing. We would definitely stay again

2 nights at Romanche Gap Mudgee

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.

2 nights at Frog Rock Hideaway

We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet. The camp site was nicely levelled and the firepit was perfect. Abundant kangaroos and wallabies made the perfect view. Thanks, TJ & Kevin!

Weekend Trip to Maiden Jewel Camping Wingen

Absolutely wonderful place to stay, woke up to the cows coming down to the damn for a drink of water. The sun set was amazing over the ridge line. And Jane was so lovely. Would definitely stay again

2 nights at Romanche Gap Mudgee

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.

Weekend Trip to Castlerock Camp

We spent 2 nights there, and we were the only guests. The location is excellent, with spacious grounds and exceptional tranquillity. Although the site is near the road, you won't see a vehicle for hours. You can explore the property on foot, and there's a surprise if you hike to the top. There are many bird species in the area, and we also saw a few wallabies and rabbits. The hosts were very helpful.

Weekend Trip to Doyles Creek Camp

Amazing weekend spent at Doyles Creek Camp. Hidden gem with miles of space between the large level grassed campsites to enjoy the peace & quiet. Kath & Wayne couldn’t have been more helpful & friendly hosts and we thank them for sharing their special place with us campers. Camped alongside the creek and enjoyed the clear running water and amazing bird life. We will definitely be back.
