Had a good two night stay here. Nice easy access spot for our van. Lovely clean drop toilet with outdoor sink. Fire pit was a bonus to sit around and have a wine as sunset. We're able to gather kindling and some firewood just outside property or bring your own. Close to Mudgee and surrounds for wine tasting and lunch. Only minus was traffic noise, but only during daylight hours, no problem at night.Had a great stay.

Bare open paddock with a fixed fire and a great composting loo (best ive ever used). A little road noise if youre used to dead silence but not intrusive. Not somewhere you'd sit and stay but great for a base to explore from.

Weekend Trip to Romanche Gap Mudgee

This was my first time using hipcamp and my first time solo camping with my dogs. It was a great spot for this purpose. Almost completely doggy proof fences (my 25-30kg dogs could probably fit through the fence at the entrance if they wanted but they never tried). My dogs loved all the space and it made my day to watch them run around all happy 🙂 The paddock with the toilet and power is right next to the road so you do get the occassional noise of passing vehicles. It is also the paddock right next to the house but there is plenty of space to keep your distance and I never saw anyone while I was there. Compost toilet set up was very convenient. I thought it would be your standard gross drop toilet but it was clean, no smells, instructions on how to use correctly. Sink outside to wash your hands with soap provided. The firepit area is beautiful. They left some wood for me to use but I had brought my own. It being a paddock there's not really any shade so it wouldn't be a good place for a summer camp but it was perfect for winter.

Great location with easy access to Mudgee, the wineries and national parks. The camp site was extremely well looked after and had the added bonus of a compost toilet and an abundance of firewood to be used in the supplied firepit. Carly and Ryan were very informative offering suggestions of places to see and eat at.

We had a fantastic stay at Romanche Gap. The site was beautifully neat and freshly mowed, fully fenced 2 acres which made setting up a breeze with our two dogs. The modern, spotless toilet was a real bonus one of the cleanest we’ve come across while camping. The fire pit was perfect for cozy nights under the stars, and the power outlet along the fence line came in handy. The views of the surrounding hills were absolutely stunning and gave the place a peaceful, secluded feel. It’s also in a prime location only a quick 10 min drive into Mudgee to visit all the wineries and for supplies, and just 10 minutes the other way to the charming, historic town of Gulgong. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful property with us. We’ll definitely be back

Weekend Trip to Romanche Gap Mudgee

Two night stay. Lovely site, easy to find and access and easy 10 min in to town, close to lots of wineries. Toilet and firepit were both great and lots of wood and kindling available. It is close to the road so there are obviously some traffic noises but had a great time here.

Fantastic campground with all that you need. Toilet facilities were great: Thanks to Carly for organising a fresh mow even though they were away, very much appreciated. We’ll be staying again on our next trip out west.
