Lovely place to stay and the host Maggie was super friendly! She let me park wherever I preferred and recommend a good spot near the facilities
It was peaceful and quiet and even at night there were gentle solar lights to guide your way to the bathrooms!

My friend & I decided to brave the cold and Camp at Arcadia Farm. We were more than comfortable thanks to all the amenities provided by Maggie. Clean & well appointed hot shower & toilets, camp kitchen shelter serviced with bbqs, kettle, table, chairs and dish washing facilities. We had plenty of wood provided for our fire. The property is beautiful, plenty of native wildlife like wallabies & kookaburras. Maggie was very friendly, greeted us on arrival & then we had plenty of privacy to enjoy our quiet surroundings. Will definitely be back, would love to check out the walk to the waterfall on their property.

We had a fantastic time camping at Maggie and Bill’s place! They were very friendly and welcoming, which made us feel at home right away. The campsite was beautiful and peaceful spot to relax and a great escape from the busy city life.
We were a group of uni students and, despite their kind warning about the coming rain, we decided to go ahead with our plans. As expected, we got bogged a few times, but Maggie and Bill were incredibly generous and came to our rescue every time!
Their kindness and support meant a lot to us. We are very thankful and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet and scenic place to stay with amazing hosts.

We recently stayed at this camping site and had an amazing experience! The location was absolutely beautiful — surrounded by nature, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing. Toilet was very clean.
The host Maggie was friendly and welcoming, always ready to help if we needed anything. We especially appreciated how organized everything was, from the check-in process to the clear signage around the site.
We also enjoyed the small touches, like the fire pits and picnic areas — perfect for spending quality time with loved ones.
Highly recommend this camping site to anyone looking for a calm, clean, and beautiful place to unwind. We’ll definitely coming back !

Maggie is really nice helping and checking on us as she passes by the campsite. It was a nice cozy spot however there’s not much to do within the campsite if did not carefully prepare as there’s no river, beach or farm animals. (water falls need to walk on foot for an hour, also it is rocky and steep) Wild animals rarely come near to site too. Community shelter, bbq, free fire wood, fire pit are provided to share. Beautiful and clean toilets and shower! We went on Easter holiday so the camp site gets really crowded and noisy like a holiday park with no entertainment. Another to note is the grass are really wet/muddy and seems to have swarms in the bushes so there’s a lot of leeches and mosquitoes even in early autumn. Note: Parking and tent cannot be side by side!

Was greeted at the site by Maggie who was lovely. Picked a nice spot under a tree and was surrounded by wallabies. The amenities were spotless and will camp here again. Not too far from civilisation but feels miles away.

A lovely, tranquil spot with wallabies grazing around. Bill and Maggie were very welcoming and the place was well-equipped. All in all, the perfect place for my toddler's first camping experience.

I recently stayed at this campground for two nights. While there were some positives, there were also areas that need improvement.
Positives:
Convenient location.
Beautiful natural surroundings.
Areas for Improvement:
Signage: Clearer signs would have been helpful.
Host Behavior: The host’s attitude was disappointing.
Leeches: We encountered numerous leeches, which was unpleasant.
Overall, I hope the campground takes steps to address these issues and create a more positive experience for future visitors.

We had such a wonderful weekend at Maggie's. The property was beautiful and maintained so nicely. There were lots of amenities, including a bbq, firewood, tables, tank water and a clean toilet.
Maggie helped us settle in and provided us with a fire pit which was great to have at our site. She was very hospitable, checking in to see if we needed anything each day.
The site is in a great spot which is nice and quiet but still close to get to lake Macquarie or the beaches.
There were lots of wallabies around too!
Would highly recommend if you want to unwind, but be close to lots of activities!

We are so lucky that we found Maggies camp fields. We decided to start our camping weekend suddenly on Sat after lunch. A not very experienced mum and an enthusiastic first time camper 12yo boy. Maggie s place offered us a perfect balance of independence and dependence. We havent bought table or lights so her shelter area had all these!!!
. It was our luck we found her place 30min before checkin when we were already on the high way at 8:30pm. Instant booking is working here!! Magg and her husband warmly welcomed us upon arrival and took us to the field next to a shelter where it has lights,bbq and tables. This facility gives me so much security last night as I m on my own with the kid and first time for us to figure out how to set up a tent in the dark. We should be at the center, I can see other big camp fields available behind a bunch of trees, so it should also be great and private to have a group here together. Super great first time camp experience, will definitely return!!!

Lovely pieceful surroundings.
I was met on arrival by Bill, one of the site hosts. He was very welcoming and directed me to the camping area with the instructions of, pick any space you'd like.
The main area was very well and thoughtfully set up. A large undercover area, a closed cabinet containing cooking utensils, a gas powered BBQ, water for washing up, a water tank for addition (washing only) water plus a 12v battery which powered the low voltage LED lighting in the undercover area. There were also artificial candle light LED solar lights scattered around which came on after dark.
The site was clean and tidy with massive amounts of fallen tree branches thoughtfully placed into piles for campers to use. The single toilet located close to the main dwelling was nice and clean and included a small basin to wash your hands in.
Lots of wallabies around on the property feeding at a distance plus an abundance of bird life.
I had a relaxing and pleasant stay. Maggie was kind enough to provide me with a free bottle of water as I found myself running low in the warm weather.
They are a lovely couple and I look forward to returning again when time permits.
I did see some large ants where I was camped in the NE corner. I'm unsure what species they were but they didn't appear to be aggressive and seemingly stayed away from me and my camp-site.

We loved camping on Maggie's land ! The landowners are lovely people. This place is very calm and peaceful! There is plenty of space and the wildlife is incredible, we were surrounded by wallabies and there were also lots of birds singing. We had a very pleasant time and we can only recommend this amazing place !

Thanks Maggie and Bill for your friendly welcome and introduction to other guests. We really enjoyed the 3 days we had with you, especially the space and sounds of the native surrounding bush.

The Grove is somewhere I would definately recommend if you are keen to head there for a Nature Break.
It is less than an hour from Newcastle and an ideal location If you have a self contained set-up because you can wide-berth the basic sheltered communal area and find your own little nook to face out into the bush.
Maggie was a delight to briefly chat to and also gave us plenty of space to enjoy our stay.
I am already plotting and planning when I can next get back there...and with who.

Maggie's property was very spacious and lush and it was so nice to see wallabies grazing at sunset. We had a lovely time and it felt very secluded and peaceful. Just a headsup though - the bathroom is not super close to where we camped, about a 5 minute walk, and the kitchen (as listed in the hipcamp listing) is more of a food prep area with a bbq stove and water buckets, but no running faucet. There is a fridge but it is about a 10 minute walk from our site. So we ended up doing a bit more walking, which was great exercise anyway! Thanks so much Maggie, we had a very relaxing time!
