With its large, secluded Bush Campsites, 'Chapman Valley' is still Sydney's best-kept secret!
Picture this. Your weekend escape is relaxed from the very start - the car trip along the scenic winding Putty Road is slow and leisurely as you know you can arrive at any time for the self serve check-in.
After signing in, you meander through this Beef Cattle farm, heading to your own designated camping area. A private corner of the property all to yourselves! After setting up camp, and showing off your awesome (of course) campfire lighting skills, you sink back in your camp-chair and listen to ...the bush.
And you see ...the bush. Not a single other camper in site. Oh, except the ones you invited with you of course!
There they are. The kids running enthusiastically across the open paddock chasing after their footy, with Buster, the family dog happily nipping at their heels.
"They'll sleep well tonight!" you think to yourself happily, as you sink further into your camp-chair and take a long drink on that ice cold beer.
1hr drive from the nearest town (Singleton), "Chapman Valley" is the perfect oasis for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle. There are no nearby shops so be sure to bring everything with you. The property offers over 100kms of bush tracks ideal for walking, push-bike riding or 4WDing. On site-horse riding is available, offering rides ranging from 1hr family rides to full day experienced rides. Check out our website for a full list of offerings.
The Communal camping area is within walking distance of our amenities block, which offers flushing porcelain toilets and a hot shower. Bush campsites are fully self-sufficient, BYO (bring your own) water and toileting system. All campers are required to take their rubbish home with them as there are no bins on site. Sites available for all vehicle types, from buses and large caravans to fully kitted out off-road vehicles.
We offer a self check-in service with full maps and directions, which means you can arrive anytime you like.
Free early check-in and late check-out: Check-in anytime from sunrise and check-out anytime before sunset so you can make the most of your getaway.

We booked to stay camping at Peppertree Pony Camp for 2 nights but due to loving the peacefulness, the kindness of the hosts and the overall beauty of the farm we decided to stay an extra night. Honestly couldn’t recommend Peppertree enough, the hospitality was 10/10!

Loved every moment.
The hosts were so kind and helpful, we were having some issues with our caravan and they are so helpful and really went out of their way to help.
Their property is perfect with a trampoline for our kids and plenty of room to run around.
The kids loved the puppies, ponies and Ruby for a little push around while I cooked dinner
100% recommend.

Nice camping spot for a relaxed little getaway. The spots to fellow campers are really far from each other, so you still have peace and quiet in case others decided for the same spot.
Lots of wallabies and kangaroos around, very peaceful.
The organic toilet worked well, no smell or whatsoever.
Can recommend the place!

We loved this camp spot, very peaceful, easy to find. Hosts were lovely. We woke up early to watch the sunrise over the vineyard and the hot air balloons fly above us as we ate breakfast. Would definitely come again.

The kids loved being able to pay the horses and visit the puppies.
The toys and trampoline were also a hit - so much so they wanted to stay at the property rather than visit Taronga zoo!
Takes approx 1 hour to get into Sydney CBD and just over an hour to Bondi..

We had a good time and kids loved the horses and puppies. It was quiet and peaceful. We were a bit disappointed that there was no water/dam to swim in as photos indicate but we found somewhere not too far away (driving) to swim. Host communicated well and was accommodating, even though they were away while we were there. Overall a good place to stay.

Very quiet, peaceful and pretty. The composting toilets are clean and well maintained. There are lots of kangaroos & wallabies about, and an abundance of bird life. It was lovely waking up to birdsong!

We had such a great stay. Made a last minute booking on a super hot day, and Katie had a lovely shady spot for us and our cat. All the horses on the property were so friendly, and not remotely put off by said cat! It was kind of adorable watching them suss each other out. No other campers, and far enough away from the house so was very private. Would highly recommend.

My favourite Hipcamp site that we’ve stayed at!! Jim is a legend and very accommodating :) camping spot was great, it drizzled most of the time we were there but the site seems to drain well and it didn’t get boggy/soggy. Composting toilet was very clean and worked well, and Jim topped up our drinking water when we needed. Good distance from other campers and it was lovely to wake up to all the bird sounds. Can’t wait to come back again, thanks Jim!

Large flat sites, each campsite is a decent gap away from the other. Host provided toilets on some sites. Lots of wonderful bird life. Easy to find and easy to setup camp due to flat mowed campsites. Host very nice and great to deal with. We will be back!

This was our second stay with the Binet family group, this time we stayed at camp site number one which was situated right next to the open air chapel and we also had our own picnic bench, fire pit, power and water connection.
We were in close proximity to the amenities block which is immaculately presented and features separate toilets and one of the best rainfall shower heads you will ever experience!
It was a dog friendly site and our fur babies absolutely loved it. Plenty of freshly manicured gardens and fields to explore and it was right next to the vines.
There is a superb, newly opened cafe called Flock & Fork on the adjacent Tatler Wines property (about 2min walk from camp), Currently open Thursday to Sunday for breakfast and lunch - it’s very dog friendly and the food is absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS!
Our stay was perfectly topped off with a wine tasting experience with the friendly and very knowledgeable staff at the Binet Cellar Door (on site about 1min walk from camp, also dog friendly). They have a generous range of high quality wines to sample and enjoy, the courtyard is picturesque and the wines will not disappoint!
Huge thanks to owners Nat and Dan, their lovely family and fur babies for being so warm and welcoming! We cannot fault their hospitality or this location.
FIVE STARS 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
