There will be foot traffic and possibly tractor rides operating near some of the sites although we will do our best to respect your privacy while you are here. We also have a quarry surrounding most of the property, so they sometimes operate machinery early. This is not generally too disruptive though.

We have several sites to offer around the property. We have a beautiful huge dam just 350m down the gully.

Guests can enjoy hiking, wandering the orchard picking fresh produce, taking a tractor ride, feeding the animals and relaxing. Please note we are a working farm so sometimes tractors and vehicles can be heard working from 7am. There will be foot traffic and possibly tractor rides operating near some of the sites although we will do our best to respect your privacy while you are here. We also have a quarry surrounding most of the property, so they sometimes operate machinery early. This is not generally too disruptive though. We are just 15 minutes' drive from the beautiful historical Wiseman's Ferry and the Hawkesbury River. There are multiple hiking tracks located close by. We have several sites to offer around the property. We have a beautiful huge dam just 350m down the gully. It’s super peaceful although a steep walk down the driveway to access, it's definitely worth it, so pack your walking shoes and some swimmers.

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. This water is clear fresh dam or bore water and can be used for showers, washing up etc. Two flush toilets are available for use by both RV's and campers. There is a central fire pit.
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.
The location is generally very peaceful with all sorts of wildlife.

We had a lovely three-night stay nestled in the orchards; while many fruits were out of season, we really enjoyed picking the mandarins, peaches, and plums that were available. Jaime was a fantastic, hassle-free host who even opened the cafe on New Year’s Day for our coffee fix and organized animal feeding for our 3-year-old, who also loved the sandpit.
The extra-large sites were easy to find, and between the hot shower and the hot water available for dishes in the red-roofed building, we stayed very comfortable despite the inclement weather.

Amazing location, beautiful spot and a great set up. Large open area near the creek with easily accessible toilets.
Some very friendly horses and cattle. Hosts were helpful, friendly and made the stay very enjoyable.

Lovely campsite and we had a great stay. The toilets were just a short walk from the campsite and the campsite was surrounded by nice fruit trees. My son loved feeding the animals and communication with Jaime was easy.

What a fantastic spot.
Joe was a great man. Prompt and kind to answer to our last minute accommodation request.
We camped on Site 3.
We had a roof top camper and swag. The site had a gentle slope
We were 50mt to the drop toilet
There was a fire place.
The camp spot was for the most part quiet. You could hear the highway in the distance but it was not a bother at all.
Thank you Joe for offering such a great spot for us Hipcamp lovers.
Highly recommend 👌

Nice place to stay.
The sites are bigger than we thought from the pictures.
The facilities are clean and good.
It is a 5 min walk from the main campsites but central on the property

The host is really nice and welcoming. Provided with clean toilet which was nice. The view was amazing and the site was nice and big. The sounds of nature were in full effect. 10/10

This is honestly the most private camping I’ve ever experienced. If you’ve got a 4WD and want to feel completely tucked away and on your own, without actually being hours from the city, this place is perfect.
The check-in process was one of a kind. Debbie had an individual info pack ready with our name on it and a camper-specific map, which made finding the site super easy. Toilets, tracks, sites – everything was clearly marked on paper that you just take with you. Not having someone escort you in actually added to the feeling of freedom, it really felt like we were just driving in and camping on our own land.
Once you’re at camp it honestly feels like no one else is around. It’s the best place I’ve stayed for peace, isolation and privacy, and I’ll 100% be coming back with more friends and family.
Debbie’s communication was quick and clear the whole way through, and we knew we could call her anytime if we needed anything.
If you like total isolation and your own space, this place is for you.

Even though we went there between the fruit season and the hosts were taking Christmas break, our kids had a great time. The lady opened the shop in the morning and we were able to grab some honey and ice cream. Our kids loved walking around the orchard, played in the sandpit for a quite long time and enjoyed especially feeding animals. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. They also had 2 beautiful dogs Billy and Steve-O who were like 10 times bigger than our dog but they were gentle. Site 3 was very good that it was very private and close enough to amenities.

The best decision we could have made to stay for our time at the Hunter Valley.
We stayed down by the dam and had access to water and power. Beautiful grassy area and so quiet. Felt like there was no one else around.
Make sure you do the wine tasting. Excellent, and a lot of fun.
Thanks for having us guys, and making our stay great.

we stayed at campsite 1 and the cow had 2 calves that were super friendly, our 2 year old loved waking up to them outside our camper and would watch them.
the flushing toilet was clean and had a lizard to keep your company adding to the experience :)
Lindsay was great and friendly
there was a fair few campers around but the area was so large it felt like you had it to yourself.
the weather was perfect and would come back again.
thank you for sharing your property.
