Relax and unwind at our Land For Wildlife property, Melaleuca @ One Mile a boutique hostel and campground set on 6 acres of natural bushland in beautiful Port Stephens and only a 500m walk from the sparkling waters of magnificent One Mile Beach in Boat Harbour. It is located just past Anna Bay village which is 2.5km away and the entrance to Worimi Conservation Lands the largest moving Sand Dune system in the Southern Hemisphere, where you can 4WD, swim, surf, or enjoy a camel or horse ride. We have off-street parking with the car park area alongside the only car-free campground in Port Stephens. A large open grassed area surrounded by large melaleuca trees is perfect for throwing down a swag or setting up a tent for camping. You are not limited to a small site, you can use as much space as you desire, and we ask that guests respect others and give each other some room. In addition to the camping area, there is a small off-street, shaded area for a small number of campervans, there are no powered sites and sorry but we do not take caravans. All guests have access to the facilities including warm showers and toilets, a large Main building housing double kitchens with crockery and cutlery, toasters and kettles. There are indoor and outdoor covered seating areas and a free gas BBQ on the decked area with free Wi-Fi available. The Tomaree Peninsula has 26 beaches with numerous walking trails, including the recently upgraded Tomaree Coastal Walk and plenty of water activities including Dolphin and Whale watching cruises, diving, surfing, kayaking, fishing and snorkelling. Nelson Bay is the main tourist centre with plenty of restaurants and cafes and there are more clubs and food options dotted around the peninsula.

Exceptional value for money. We really enjoyed our stay camping here. The kitchen and bathrooms were really clean and we appreciated that there was a large fridge for campers to store food. We took bikes and it was a perfect base to ride to the local beaches, as well as Fingal and Shoal Bay via the National Park. We’ll be back!

Hidden gem, one of a kind, beautiful, green and spacious, 5 min walk to patrolled beach, max 15 min drive to anywhere, fresh, clean amenities and owners Mick and Michelle are really lovely. You’ll normally find me in a national park but we loved this so much we extended by two days and will come back once a year. FIVE STARS!!!

Needs some TLC
It's a great location, lots of trees and close to the beach, but is pretty run down and toilets/ showers weren't cleaned for 3 days during the busiest Xmas-new year period.
