Very relaxing and peaceful stay over the long weekend. So close to home yet seems so far away from it all. Highly recomended as a great place to unwind and get back to nature. Barry is a brilliant host and couldn't be more accomodating. We hope to be back soon.

We loved camping at this beautiful tranquil spot for 3 nights! Perfect location, close to everything if needed but far enough away that you truly felt you were alone in the bush. Barry was a wonderful easygoing host and the property is perfect for some off grid quality family time!

Beautiful well kept paddocks with lots of space, flat areas. Friendly Cows next door.
A big thanks to Barry for helping me change my caravan tyre that I blew on the way in - missed the rock ;) but found a replacement nearby & thoroughly enjoyed my stay .

Banjos Retreat
A spur of the moment one night getaway. Got the chance to use our van off-grid, had the place to ourselves, very minimal service, all was perfect! We highly recommend this place for relaxation in nature, the host Barry is a top bloke.
Just proves you never need to go too far from home to escape reality & unwind. We will be back for a longer stay. Thanks heaps!

Really nice property close to the Central Coast.
Barry was a great host and left us to do our own thing after showing us around.
Great open area with plenty of sun but also shade options available.
We will definitely be back for another stay.
Cheers Barry

Barry offers a lovely campsite and friendly host. We enjoyed the privacy and were lucky to be the only campers. Love the opportunity for a campfire and taking our dog.

A relaxing couple of days at Banjo’s Retreat - so close to the freeway yet far enough that you feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere. Barry has multiple sites but each one feels like you’re all on your own. Thanks for a great stay!

Great Stay! Just what my partner and I were after. Camped out in our van for the night. Barry kindly showed us to our spot on entry. Access was great, space was well looked after and provided more than what we needed. Would definitely recommend it! Thanks again!

Scared there wasn’t many options during the Easter break, we found this little gem.
Busy but spacious, relaxing and a great little track down to the plot.
4 of us and a dog, there was plenty of room for all, only 7mins from town, with plenty of amenities and things to do.
The host Barry and Jo are lovely and take great care of their property and guests, and shows in how popular the grounds were.
Will return happily specially as it’s a short trip from the CBD.

We were the only ones camping on the night we were at Banjo’s Retreat. Torrential rain made towing a caravan with a regular SUV a little tricky but Barry was super helpful to take the stress out of a day when Mother Nature wasn’t so happy! Recommend the first area, Wedding paddock in really bad weather, otherwise Sunset Paddock out the back is a beautiful spot. Barry will guide you accordingly!

Had such a fantastic time. The sites were quite spread out. Even though it was the Easter Long weekend it was still private.
Will definitely be back

The perfect Hipcamp! Barry’s property is stunning! Surrounded by beautiful trees you feel a million miles from the big smoke but only 25 mins to beach’s! Wyong just down the road for coffee and supplies. Can’t wait to come back!
