🐟 Welcome to Bass Billabong - Cedar Creek Farm 🐟 Tucked away along the banks of Cedar Brush Creek and right on the Great North Walk, Cedar Creek Farm is a hidden oasis of peace and beauty. Spread across 100 acres of rolling pastures and rainforest, it offers spacious, private campsites, perfect for unwinding, reconnecting, and escaping the everyday. The creek features a 20-foot swimming hole, just right for a refreshing dip on warm days. It’s also home to Australian bass, so you can enjoy a bit of catch-and-release fishing, or simply relax by the water’s edge and fire up the BBQ. Nearby you’ll find mountain and dirt bike trails, Treetops Adventure Park, Amazement Farm, and horse-riding experiences. It’s also a sanctuary for nature lovers, photographers, and artists alike. Keep an eye out, you might even spot a platypus Even though it feels a world away, we’re only 90 minutes from both Sydney and Newcastle, making it an easy and rewarding retreat. And the best part? Cedar Creek Farm is pet-friendly. 🐾 To keep the experience private, we welcome just one booking at a time, so during your stay, the whole place is yours to enjoy.Tucked away in the peaceful surroundings of a small cattle farm, Bass Billabong offers the perfect getaway, surrounded by wooded hills and the gentle flow of the Cedar Brush River. This private, scenic riverside campsite is just a short drive from both Sydney and Newcastle. With only one booking at a time, you’ll have the entire site all to yourself, ensuring a peaceful and exclusive experience. The site features a large fire pit and plenty of space to set up your getaway. Feel free to gather firewood from the forest, but best to bring some dry starters to get you going. The river has plenty of bass in the warmer months, and if you're lucky, you might spot a platypus working the reed beds at dawn or dusk. The campsite is great for small camper vans and groups. For larger vans or multiple bookings, there’s plenty of sites along the river with access to the billabong for fishing and swimming. There’s no toilet on-site, so please bring your own portaloo.

Excellent location. Would definitely recommend. We had 2 vans next to the Billabong - which was a bit of a ‘dance’ to get out - but def the best place to camp on the property if you have dogs.

Suzy was a great host. Bass billabong was in a lovely green valley and was exactly what we needed to be close enough to the Australian Reptile Park for a visit but far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside and the stars at night. We enjoyed a campfire too.

We chose a gorgeous, private spot on the creek, which we had to ourselves. We climbed the hill, saw a lace monitor and enjoyed the walk. Went for a wade in the creek. Suzy is a very friendly host who brought us some firewood. We had a lovely weekend just relaxing and reading.

Absolutely wonderful property and campsite. So peaceful and serene. Lots of wildlife - cows, deer, plenty of birds & wombat holes (we didn't see a wombat this time). A lovely walk through the paddocks, and a tough but rewarding walk up the hill and bush. Perfect spot for fishing and swimming when the weather is warmer, so we will definitely be back!

Bass Billabong is a stunning and tranquil campsite that truly feels like a hidden gem. The host, Suzy greeted us with warmth and kindness, setting the perfect tone for our stay. The place felt like something out of a Disney movie — graceful deer roaming freely, playful kangaroos hopping by, and a variety of colorful birds that kept us entertained throughout. We enjoyed a relaxing fishing too! We spent 2 nights here and loved every minute. We’re already looking forward to coming back for our next camping trip. Thank you so much, Suzy.

We loved our stay with Suzy at Bass Billabong! Suzy was a fantastic welcoming host who was in direct contact during the seamless booking process! She met us on arrival and took us to our beautiful spot, camping right on the creek! The dog had a blast and the camp fire was second to none. The wildlife was fantastic with Suzy offering access to rest of the land and we took advantage of a beautiful forest walk, managing to catch sight of a stag! Would highly recommend this perfect spot to anyone and will certainly be back, definitely 5 stars 🌟

WOW! What an absolute gem! Despite the forecast being a bit damp our group had the best time. Suzy was incredible with communication and her kindness with helping us stay dry was much appreciated! We had plenty of space and flat spots for a trailer, tent, swag and van, and had a great fire. Bass Billabong is a beautiful property with plenty of scenery and walks to enjoy. Our dogs had a great time in the wonderful creek. We will be back for another visit ☺️ Thank you for sharing your property with us Suzy!
