Had a great stay. Plenty of walks and some stunning scenery. The view from the lookout was one of the best. Campsites 11 and 12 were well maintained with plenty of room for kids and dogs to run around. Clean drop toilets and hot solar shower. We were very impressed. Hope to come back again soon.

We loved our stay at Bonneydoon. The property is outstanding with plenty to do without even leaving the property if you don’t want to travel around the local points of interest. At the time of our 2 night stay, there was nobody else there so Nicholas said we can take our pick of sites even though we only paid for the cheapest camp site. Throw in the beautiful views, fantastic wildlife and great weather, we couldn’t fault this Hip Camp.

Just come home from a great 2 nights at Andy’s. Super easy drive from Sydney & felt like we were miles away. Had the place to ourselves and loved the view. Came home with loads of fresh fruit from the many road side stalls in the area.

Peaceful and well maintained. As mentioned in the description there is little shade available. Nesting ducks on the creek and ducking's swimming around. Private road on the way is a little rough, but nothing a standard AWD or 4WD can't handle and it's only 500m or so.

Nicholas was great helping me pick the right site for a tent and two campervans. Nice and flat, loads of space and fantastic views. We had the whole place to ourselves. Access to a water tap and clean pit toilets close by. We didn’t use the showers or camp kitchen down the hill but seemed okay. Bit hot during the day - need to bring your own shade for this site but there are others under trees.
Steep downhill bush bash to see an amazing sunset from lookout, breathtaking sunrises to start the day and THE STARS - wow!! Delighted to see our first ever fireflies ✨ Got too dark to visit the big tree but good to save something for next visit.
On the more expensive side of the hipcamps we have stayed at but worth it for the views, walks, peace and serenity only 1.5 hours from Newcastle.
Thank you 🙏🏼

we were there for a long week end during school holidays and the way the sites are designed are very private and doesn't feel crowded. We are self sufficient but truly appreciated the clean facilities and environment. Our dog loved swimming in the dams.

Bonneydoon was an awesome camp ground. Beautiful setting with a great view from site 12. The sites are really big and nicely spread out so you are not all on top of each other and leaves room to kick a ball or play games.
It’s close into Dungog for the mountain bike park, swimming pool, brewery, bakery and IGA

Such a Beautiful property, we set up on the hill and it offered great views into the valley.
On arrival we got bogged and Andy had a friend there in no time to help us out, Andy was great with communication and booking was super easy.
Love that it allows dogs off leash it’s what we mostly look for and one that offers not many other camping sites so you feel you Gk have your own space.
We will definitely be back.
