Welcome to Blueys Beach Farmstay!
MerryLegs's Paddock offers fantastic group bookings, perfect for larger groups. Strawberry's paddock is located towards the rear of the property, offering a comfortable spot for those with kids, with easy access to the amenities.
Enjoy lovely grassed areas with ample shade for your camper-van, roof top tent, free standing tent or swag. We have seven (7) acres of fully fenced grassy paddocks, with mostly shaded open areas.
We have a 2 night minimum and a 5 night maximum stay at both listings.
We're located very close to Blueys Beach where you can stroll along the shore, go for a swim or help the kids build sandcastles. It’s a flat walk from your campsite, only minutes away along the footpath (approximately 350 metres) to local restaurants, cafes and shops. Those visiting with their furry family member can enjoy the nearest dog friendly beach within council regulated hours just a further 150 down the path.
You can enjoy access to flushable toilets x 2 and a singular hot shower and a singular cold shower for those after the beach days, please BYO toiletries. We ask that you place all of your rubbish in the bins provided .. we can take your recyclable cans and bottles for the Earn and Return program. To clarify .. YES we have a garbage bin for general waste only .. no recycling bin.
We allow campfires when it is safe. ALL fires must be contained in a fire pit. Absolutely no fires are to be lit on the open grass.
WE have fire pits for hire and bagged firewood is available for purchase on site .. all fire pits brought onto the property for use by guests will be subject to the discretion of the property owners. All fires and fire pits must be "OK'd" with the property owners prior to lighting, what we're looking for is clearance from the ground to the base of the fire pit .. the greater distance the better. Fires can only be lit in accordance with NSW Rural Fire Services fire restrictions or total fire bans.
We've had multiple patches of our buffalo lawn scorched to beyond charcoal by careless guests .. you must ask the hosts / property owners before lighting any fires .. unnecessary burnt patches of lawn may result in you and your guests leaving!!
We ask you to please note:
** UNFORTUNATELY WE DO NOT TAKE ANY CARAVANS .. HYBRID CARAVANS .. MOTOR HOMES .. RV'S .. FIFTH WHEELER's .. BUSES INCLUDING MERCEDES SPRINTERS of any size .. mainly the footprint of these types of vehicles is far too great .. once again we're only a grassy paddock not a caravan park.
Standard size camper trailers and camper-vans, roof top tents are all completely fine.
If your bus is longer than 4 meters in length, over 2 meters in height and/ or width with a tare weight of 3 tonne or over SORRY BUT IT IS A NO!!
If your camper trailer is wider than 2.5 meters or longer than 4.5 metres in length inclusive of the drawbar .. SORRY BUT ITS A NO!!
If you have a Jayco of any description .. regardless of length / width OR what the "registration papers say" .. SORRY BUT IT IS STILL A NO!!
- If you have solar panels to charge you might have to chase the sun a little, as there are plenty of shaded areas which is perfect come summer.
We do not allow the use of "Slackline or Tightropes" strung between our trees, it causes them to be ringbarked after a prolonged use .. meaning they die in the long run .. rope clotheslines and hamocks perfectly ok on the palms, sheoaks and paperbarks!!
- Dogs are permitted here however they must be friendly off leash and must NOT chase my pets which include horses, goats , dogs and our pet chooks.
Please pick up after your pooch .. as a courtesy to other guests and also to us, it doesn't happen in a caravan park .. please do the right thing here!!
PLEASE ADVISE US UPON BOOKING IF YOU ARE BRINGING A PET/PETS!!
- There are animals that live here and they occasionally make animal noises. Specifically, we have a pet Rooster called Billy .. he is meticulous at his job of being a rooster and can start very early in the morning 4am
We ask you to please be understanding during your visit, that this is Billy's home and we ask you to PLEASE RETHINK YOUR BOOKING if you feel this might impact on your holiday or your guests holiday.
On arrival, we ask that you stop at the garages at the front of the house to confirm your check-in and get instructions .. PLEASE DO NOT ENTER THE PROPERTY, prior to letting us know you have arrived.
NO ARRIVALS AFTER 10PM .. during peak periods it impacts greatly on our other onsite guests, we've had too many complications in the past, appologies it simply it doesn't work.
When we have heavy rain, some areas of the property are not car accessible and you may need to walk to some amenities. and keep driving to a minimum.
Upon your booking you will receive a couple of private messages from us .. these will be located in your HipCamp Messages on the App or the website
they will contain instructions for once you arrive .. PLEASE READ THEM!!
If you have not already, please download the "HipCamp" app it makes communication a lot easier.

WE have fire pits for hire and bagged firewood is available for purchase on site .. all fire pits brought onto the property for use by guests will be subject to the discretion of the property owners. All fires and fire pits must be "OK'd" with the property owners prior to lighting, what we're looking for is clearance from the ground to the base of the fire pit .. the greater distance the better. Fires can only be lit in accordance with NSW Rural Fire Services fire restrictions or total fire bans.
We've had multiple patches of our buffalo lawn scorched to beyond charcoal by careless guests .. you must ask the hosts / property owners before lighting any fires .. unnecessary burnt patches of lawn may result in you and your guests leaving!!
We ask you to please note:
** UNFORTUNATELY WE DO NOT TAKE ANY CARAVANS .. HYBRID CARAVANS .. MOTOR HOMES .. RV'S .. FIFTH WHEELER's .. BUSES INCLUDING MERCEDES SPRINTERS of any size .. mainly the footprint of these types of vehicles is far too great .. once again we're only a grassy paddock not a caravan park.
Standard size camper trailers and camper-vans, roof top tents are all completely fine.
If your bus is longer than 4 meters in length, over 2 meters in height and/ or width with a tare weight of 3 tonne or over SORRY BUT IT IS A NO!!
If your camper trailer is wider than 2.5 meters or longer than 4.5 metres in length inclusive of the drawbar .. SORRY BUT ITS A NO!!
If you have a Jayco of any description .. regardless of length / width OR what the "registration papers say" .. SORRY BUT IT IS STILL A NO!!
- If you have solar panels to charge you might have to chase the sun a little, as there are plenty of shaded areas which is perfect come summer.
We do not allow the use of "Slackline or Tightropes" strung between our trees, it causes them to be ringbarked after a prolonged use .. meaning they die in the long run .. rope clotheslines and hamocks perfectly ok on the palms, sheoaks and paperbarks!!
- Dogs are permitted here however they must be friendly off leash and must NOT chase my pets which include horses, goats , dogs and our pet chooks.
Please pick up after your pooch .. as a courtesy to other guests and also to us, it doesn't happen in a caravan park .. please do the right thing here!!

We are a 9 acre farm of beautiful Aussie bushland in Kundibakh. With Burrell creek running along the back.
We are now offering the ad on of a luxury family off grid van that comfortably hosts a family of 5 so more nature lovers can enjoy Platypus Creek!
The Bucketts Way splits our property into a special spot just for you, 3 acres with your own gated entrance. Wander down to the creek to cool off with a perfect swimming hole after the rain, you might even be lucky enough to spot platypus if you’re super quiet.
We are located half an hour from the freeway (turn off at Nabiac) and can easily get to Taree, Old Bar, Wingham, Gloucester, Diamond Beach, Black Head beach, Tuncurry and Forster.
We are rural, we have farming all around us which we find beautiful and essential for life. Sometimes you will hear cows at night, Sometimes we have cattle trucks, milk trucks or transport trucks coming along the road which we can hear. It is not constant but it is an important part of farming. The beauty of living on The Bucketts Way is we are always accessible.

I stayed here for a night before heading back to Sydney, I wish I had time for 2 nights.
Amenities were impeccable, the sites had their own fire pits. I even saw a dear roaming around.

A group of 10 of us spent the weekend at Mei’s place and had the best time! Lots of activities nearby with easy access to and from. Heaps of amenities on the site including showers, toilets, games room, fridges, campfires… not to mention a sweet view. Mei was also super helpful and easy-going. We will be back again very soon!

We stayed on a Riverside camp and had a view overlooking the river from above a conveniently near the toilets and dam. Kids were able to kayak with the supplied gear in the dam and play on the equipment good relaxing spot. We had firewood delivered for $20. Good quality. Love that dogs can stay in. There is so much room for them to walk around. Most importantly the sites are huge. We booked two sites for2x 15 foot campers and four-wheel-drive but easily fit on the one site together. They are also fire pits supplied on every site which is nice.

Kellie and Rod accepted my last-minute booking to surprise my partner with a camping trip for his birthday and it was the perfect place to stay!
Kellie and Rod are such lovely people and Ruby is such a sweet doggo. The property is beautifully maintained and staying next to the lily pond felt like we were staying at a peaceful oasis. The campsites are spread out so you can’t hear your neighbours and the camp kitchen and outdoor shower are beautifully decorated. We will definitely be coming back again with family!

My friend and I stayed at this campground recently on our road trip from Sydney to Cairns and it’s safe to say that this was the most beautiful and well equipped campground we’ve stayed at! Cooking dinner over the campfire while surrounded by beautiful trees, looking over the mountains was absolutely sublime. Mei made us feel so welcome showing us around the site (with hot showers, fridges, a common room etc.)
and we would absolutely stay again!
