Weekend Trip to Quorragami

We had ab easy going stay at Quorragami. It was serene and relaxing. We had a short visit from Charly each day to check in. The walk through the gully with David was an adventure. Damien gave great communication. Absolutely gorgeous location. We had a tent and it went alright in the RV spot. Thanks we will be back again :)

Weekend Trip to Quorragami

Beautiful property, great instructions and friendly hosts, nice and private and very peaceful.

Weekend Trip to Quorragami

We loved our stay. The hospitality, facilities and scenery was just amazing. We will be returning

Weekend Trip to Quorragami

Absolutely stunning spot, the best facility’s including the loo with a view 😉 but on a more serious note…..I think the best view in the Hunter. We loved everything about our stay and can’t wait to get back there! Thank you!

Weekend Trip to Quorragami

Great spot with an amazing hot tub with views over the valley. Had our own rustic style toilet and shower which was very nice and very clean. Thanks for a great stay.

1 night at Fame Mountain Camp - pets welcome

Mei’s hospitality was awesome. Although the weather wasn’t great the property still delivered. Well maintained and good amenities. Thank you Mei.

3 nights at Quorragami

We loved camping at Quorragami. Large grassy level campsite with potable water and lovely clean flushing bush toilets. We had a beautiful campfire each night and our fur baby loved his walks. Damien and Charley made us welcome and left us to enjoy their beautiful property. We loved the peace and quiet having the main camping area to ourselves. I am sure this place will become popular very quickly. Highly recommend

Weekend Trip to Quorragami

This is a great property, with a lovely outlook over the rural area. There is a bathroom with flushing toilets and a tap for hand washing. A few other taps exist around the sites for washing etc (noting is not drinkable - it is dam water etc). Getting there, make sure to follow the Google maps instructions which take you in via Barraba Rd, as some other nav apps will try to send you down Swan Lane (which is not the right way, and will lead you into a dead end about 10km away). Also worth nothing that the last few kms (and inside the property) is unsealed road, with a couple shallow water crossings. But once at the location, you will be happy. Nice place, dog friendly, firepit friendly, nice and quiet. Would definitely go again.

3 nights at Fame Mountain Camp - pets welcome

Mei and Jon were lovely! The camp ground was great with stunning views, the showers & toilets were clean and having a fridge was a huge plus. Thank you for having us!!

4 nights at Quorragami

My wife, daughter, and I spent a weekend camping on Damien’s property and had a truly relaxing experience. The location is incredibly quiet and peaceful, perfect for unwinding. The toilet and shower facilities are excellent, but the highlight for us was definitely the large hot tub overlooking the valley. It's heated by a wood fire in a nearby fire pit and takes a couple of hours to warm up, but it’s absolutely worth the wait. We spent hours soaking in the tub while enjoying some local wines - pure bliss. The property has only recently opened to guests, and Damien and his family have done a fantastic job creating a luxury camping experience.

2 nights at Doorstep to the Vineyards No 1

We loved our stay at the property. We took our motorhome and relaxed by the pond. Hosts were wonderful, great communication and greeting at the gate. Thanks again, we would go back.

1 night at Abstobys Retreat

Beautiful site! Louise was very welcoming and very accommodating when we realised we forgot our tent poles. We were able to stay in the belle tent saving my birthday camping trip.

Weekend Trip to Bunyip's Camp

Amazing camp!! Sites are decently far from each other so quite private and very spacious! Host was lovely and we loved our visits from titan ❤️ also lovely walks round the creek.

Weekend Trip to Bunyip's Camp

Weekend Trip to Doorstep to the Vineyards No 1

Perfect place if you wanna wake up in the middle of nowhere in the simple company of kangoroos !

Weekend Trip to Fame Mountain Camp - pets welcome

This place is a hidden gem. A small, intimate, quiet campsite that feels off grid but has bathrooms/showers and enough firewood to keep you going! The view of the valley is simply spectacular. All sites are unpowered but they have filtered tank water. We chose to camp on a weekend where rain was possible. The land is a mountain but has been excavated with level steps for camping. That said, continuous rain obviously is going to create a very muddy environment. John and Mei have done what they can to create drainage. They are a very hospitable couple. The bathrooms are kept clean and tiny. This campsite requires a 4WD, especially when it’s wet.

1 night at Bonneydoon

Last minute booking for a variety of reasons and I’m so glad we stayed at Boneydoon. It was exactly what these 2 “city slickers” needed. We had the whole place to ourselves apart for some wallabies and kookaburras. Great communication with Nick and perfect facilities (for off grid). Great phone reception so we could check in with our dog sitter.

Good mobile signal for Telstra and Optus networks. Two Communal Fridges and a cold communal spa. There is lots of space for campers so you will have privacy whilst you enjoy your camping adventure. We are located on a dead end road, so very rare to have any traffic after 8pm. Good fishing. Pretty much everywhere you can wet a line. Prawns are best bait. If your dog is on the government list of restricted breeds or on the dangerous dog list please leave at home We have a gentle, well trained old German Shepherd who adores kids but after being bitten by another dog, now prefers to stay inside the house and not visit the camp sites. PLEASE NOTE: 1) We ONLY ALLOW ONE camper trailer or ONE caravan per site. No limit on number of tents. 2) IF You Have more than 3 vehicles/site please contact host before booking. 3) Depending on the weather on the day, we may have to limit the number of vehicles that can be parked adjacent to your campsite. 4) NO late night check in . If you are a group larger than two people the check in time is between midday and sunset. Do not arrive after sunset. The reason being if you are a large group turning up late, you will ruin the camping experience of other campers who got there earlier to watch the sunset and just chill. Furthermore, the sunsets are one of the reasons people come here. Every single day it is totally different. If you arrive late you have missed it.... 5) As the business name suggests (mountain) our property is on a slope. We do have several flat areas for tents , hybrids, camper vans and small caravans. And we have 6 levelling blocks scattered across the sites. Dead flat is a concrete slab at any caravan park anywhere but here.

Quorragami

Nestled under the Watagan mountains escarpment in the Hunter valley, the property has some amazing views in all directions, but still remains secluded and hidden from view. The property has been selectively cleared to maintain a balance of open land and untouched bushland which has a boundary to the Watagans National Park. The animal life is very diverse as many species transition from the Watagans into the property and many live on site full time. These include flocks of amazing bird species such as Gang gang and Black Cockatoos, resident Wedge tailed eagles, Kookaburras, finches, honey eaters, Coucals, Lyrebirds and more. Wallabies of various types are common, and Sugar gliders can be seen on the flowering Eucalypts. The camping areas for RV's sit on a large elevated flat area that border a large gorge with broken views towards the Hunter Valley vineyards. The Gorge (or Canyon) is rimmed by caves and has rainforest type trees in the bottom. The caves can be explored and the rainforest can be walked if you are fit! The tent and camper trailer areas are terraced into an area of slight slope with a number of sites to chose from. Non potable water taps are available at each caravan site and at intervals in the camping area.

We have a private site which has open views over the Hunter Valley to the Vineyards and beyond to the Barrington tops. This site has a cliff edge pool that comfortably fits up to 4 people for a dip. This area has a large fire pit that can be used to heat the pool in winter. This site has its own flushing toilet and Shower. This site is best suited to a caravan as it is terraced, though it would be possible to setup tents or a camper van in this location also. This can also be booked as a group site. 16minutes to Cessnock, 25minutes to the M1, 2.25 hours to Sydney central and 25 minutes to Pokolbin.
