Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is romantic.
I have a small private property with grass campsites by a tidal outlet to Port Stephens harbour. We do not offer secluded camp sites away from other people on large acreage. You can spend your days fishing, kayaking or enjoying Nelson Bay and surrounding areas and beaches which are only 15 minutes away. Guests have the use of a retreat shelter/fire place/BBQ area and wifi. Campers must try to be self contained bringing their own water, toilet and shower. Sorry, no caravans over 20ft. Suite solo travellers, couples wanting a quiet weekend and LGBT friendly. We do have available tank, rain water for drinking, a toilet and hot shower, microwave and free wifi available for those who cannot be totally self contained. Yes there are mozzies because you are near water, so bring repellent. Pets are welcome but must stay on a leash throughout your stay. Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times. Please BYO firewood. Fires are only permitted when there are no fire restrictions and in the designated fire pit and designated fire pit area for your own fire pit. Children 16 & under stay for free. Please notify host if you are bringing children. Please be careful and supervise young children near the water.

Louise greeted us at the entrance and pointed us at a nice patch close to the amenities and away from other campers. She also shared some advice on places that we could visit nearby. Overall a pleasant experience and very friendly host

Xmas getaway
We stayed over Xmas and it was just perfect. Everything we could ask for. Louise greeted us and showed us around told us about the local attractions. We reccomend the shark and ray encounters! The pre made list of what to bring was super handy and other than we had everything we needed for a perfect few days.

We had a beautiful time at the tent, we spent a quiet and nice NYE and enjoyed all the beaches around the area, just like we wanted it. Location is great, near big towns but also secluded to have some rest time, whilst facilities are comfortable to have a chill and restful time in nature.
