Located on the edge of Werakata National Park, this 45-acre property is a mixture of clearing, natural vegetation, a dam, and old outhouses. You are able to access bike riding, bird watching or nature walks in the nearby bushland. The camping spot is centrally located between Cessnock, Maitland and Kurri Kurri, giving you an abundance of experiences, towns, and history to learn about. For wine lovers, the wine region of Lovedale is less than a 10-minute drive away. There are no facilities here, so you'll need to be completely self-contained with your own camp toilet. Pets welcome, please keep them under control.This property has the convenience of bush camping with the convenience of town centre services near by (10 minutes drive). With the appropriate controls in place campers are able to collect firewood for their own campfire. Whilst the old buildings, campfire or the dam may not interest everybody, it is a launching pad to visit the nearby suburbs of Cessnock, Maitland, Lovedale and Kurri Kurri where you will find an abundance of things to see and do. The campsite is nestled a bit over 100m from the access road and offers privacy from passing traffic. You might even be lucky to see kangaroos, wild pigs and the odd deer! Mobile phone and data reception does vary depending your exact location on the property and network provider.

A taste of bush camping
Very tranquil place. Plenty of room. We managed to have the place to ourselves for the weekend. Was tight to turn in towards entrance, as there was a hump to the right and the van lent quite a bit, but went in OK, same with going out. 21 foot van.

Nice place 🏕️ Close enough to the Tourist Hubs for daily activities! Very natural setting in the open amongst the bush surrounding with frequent visitors 🦘

Lovely clearing in the bush. Fell asleep to the sounds of frogs and crickets. Woke to three Roos feeding at the edge of the clearing. (Bring blocks/ramps to level your rig.)

We stayed at Frank's land for two nights and had an amazing time. The campground was clean, well-maintained. Getting there was easy. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. I'd definitely recommend this site.
