72km from Muswellbrook · 1 site · Tent, RV

Do you fancy camping on your own exclusive section of the Hunter River with no roads or traffic noise to spoil the serenity? You wont have to share your spot with other campers and you have direct access to the river. Rosebrook River Camp gives you your own private retreat, far away from the crowds but only a few minutes from the beating heart of the Hunter Valley. Our property is situated in the locality of Rosebrook, a fertile area steeped in a rich dairying history. We're only 10 minutes from Maitland and 25 minutes from the Vineyards, but the privacy of the camp site makes it feel like you're miles from anywhere. You've got direct access to the Hunter River with a sandy beach, great swimming holes and it's perfect for a peaceful kayak up or down stream, dependent on river levels at the time of your stay. Bring your own kayak or use ours for a small fee. For those a bit more adventurous, we take you via road to our drop off point and you paddle downstream (a leisurely 3 hours) until you arrive at the beach near your campsite. There are heaps of places to stop and have some lunch and a swim on the way. The site is a drive through level, grassy area and easily accessed by 2WD vehicle if you're not towing. For caravans and camper trailers, a 4WD is recommended but it's pretty easy going. Pets are welcome, but MUST stay within the site paddock if not on a lead. Our neighbours have stock and it's important we are always respectful toward them. A garbage bin and recycle bin is provided but you will need your own toilet. There is a designated area for a fire (when conditions permit) and we can supply firewood if required for a small fee. We’ve kept things simple and natural because that’s the way we like it. It’s a true bush camp — plenty of space, plenty of privacy, and no fuss. We just ask that everyone who stays treats the place with respect and leaves it as they found it, so the next campers can enjoy it too. Whether you’re here for a quiet weekend, a bit of fishing, or just to switch off from the world for a while, this is the place to do it. So come on out, take a deep breath, and slow down for a few days. You’ll soon see why we love it here and why it’s hard to leave once you’ve settled in.

What a great campsite. Quiet and relaxing by the waterhole. The hosts were so accommodating and helpful. They offer a lot of activities on their property. The instructions to get there were easy to follow and even though we got there late they were great communicators. Jane and her daughter stopped for a chat when they dropped firewood off for us. Definitely will return.

Weekend Trip to Maiden Jewel Camping Wingen

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Maiden Jewel, and it was an experience I won’t soon forget. The location is truly breathtaking – surrounded by scenic views that seem to change with the light of day, from golden sunrises to peaceful dusks. Each moment felt like stepping into a postcard. The nights were wonderfully quiet, making it the perfect escape from the rush of everyday life. I slept better here than I have in a long time, with only the sounds of nature in the background. What really made the stay exceptional was the host’s generosity. From thoughtful touches in the accommodation to warm, genuine hospitality, it was clear that every detail was considered to make guests feel welcome and comfortable. If you’re looking for a serene getaway with stunning views and a host who truly cares, Maiden Jewel is a gem worth discovering. ⸻

Mick is a great host and his family farm a perfect location for our weekend getaway from Sydney. The campsite was a beautiful private river frontage. Perfect spot to sit by the fire pit and enjoy the peace and quiet. Lots of friendly farm animals about. Highly recommended 👍

Weekend Trip to Rosebrook River Camp

Had a lovely time overnight at Mick's camp spot. What a great place right on the river. Saw many birds flying and roosting on the banks, little wrens were flitting around joyfully and woke up to the cows grazing in the paddock behind. As a beginner camper I felt very safe on my own and this was a lovely private spot. Would highly recommend Rosebrook River Camp and I am looking forward to going back again someday!
