Nomadic camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Noonameena is a beautiful retreat that feels secluded from the world, yet is just a stones throw from shops, beach, good food and parklands. We offer a number of grassy, level sites, some with shade, others with sun, all with bushland to the rear. There is also a pond/dam area, and lots of wildlife. We have a fire pit for communal use (subject to fire bans and weather conditions). The kangaroos will come and visit you early in the morning, and in the evening. You will also see lots of different parrots and birds. We even have goannas and echidnas about and the black cockatoos will come in for a visit. You will need to bring your own camp toilet, as we don't have facilities here. Pets are welcome but please keep them on a lead at all times as we have lots of wildlife around! Please note, when we have heavy rain, the ground can get boggy. We are very mindful to keep tabs on the weather for our guests, and will be in good communication with you in the lead up to your stay should we suspect there to be any issues. Whilst camping by the beautiful dam is lovely in fine weather, when it's raining, it’s best to camp towards the front of the property on higher ground. We'll advise the best solution in these circumstances. LET US KNOW about your preferred booking even if it appears booked out, as we can probably make it work or have ALTERNATIVE solutions for you! Some things to keep in mind: * please convey your setup to the host at time of booking - to ensure most suitable site * watch out for communications from the host and respond promptly * arrival and set up SHOULD be before dark, out of respect for the wildlife, other campers, neighbouring properties and the host * communicate ETA to host * read the property RULES and specific details on each INDIVIDUAL site link to ensure understanding and a respectful stay (this is a LINK at the end) * dogs need to be on a lead AT ALL TIMES * dog poo MUST be removed and cleaned up * PLEASE DRIVE SLOWLY at all times - respecting wildlife, pets, other campers and host property * NO INDIVIDUAL FIRES - this is a bushfire area and requires fire permits * Respect your allocated site and instructions, use your own camping toilet (not the grounds or bush - due to ground water) and clean up after yourself on the site

Site 2 - Rear Left Corner
We really enjoyed our stay here with our pets for 3 nights. Sibby's communication was excellent, the place was easy to find and we were guided into our spot. Everything was very green, there was plenty of Birdlife, roos and possums and peace at nighttime. We based ourselves here and went to Newcastle and Nelson Bay easily over the few days, easy drives in both directions.

Site 6 - A spare overflow Spot
We got a last minute booking with Sibby in the overflow spot which worked out perfectly. It was a nice flat grassy spot. Sibby was a great host, she’s looking after all the native animals to bring them back into the area. She put on a bonfire for us as we were leaving the day before NYE. About a 15-20 minute drive to the beaches or into Anna bay.

My partner and I had a great time over Easter! We stayed in Campsite 3 out the back with our caravan set up! It was so peaceful to stay on Sibby’s property and she does an amazing job to keep the property well maintained and all the wildlife happy! We had camp fires at the communal fire pit 2 out of our 4 nights and enjoyed socialising with the other happy campers who joined in for a drink and a laugh. Would highly recommend staying here. Thanks so much for a great stay Sibby!

We arrived with a small caravan and was warmly welcomed Sibby. We set up, unhitched and explored the area and came back in the fading light to a welcome little site in the trees. We felt safe and slept well. Centrally located, Sibby has a little hideaway perfect for exploring Nelson Bay and the beaches. Very kid friendly.

A beauty of a camp spot!
Site 1 - Left Rear Tree Island
Sibby was welcoming and caring, ensuring everyone was happy with their sites and had enough privacy. Sibby has put a lot of effort into restoring the habitat of the area, and has a fabulous plant list, it was a delight to see such conscientiousness.

Site 1 - Left Rear Tree Island
Sibby was an exceptional host and could not have been better with communication. I had a confirmation and welcome message within minutes of booking, and Sibby ensured I had the right booking for my needs. She also prepared me for the native fauna (mozzies! Haha) well in advance so I could be prepared. The spaces are so large you really have the upmost privacy for us our camp, and the Shetland ponies next door were out closest neigh-bours (sorry, couldn't help myself 🤣 As Sibby mentions, be sure to take plenty of insect repellent, including some for your Doggo if you have one, they are out in force near the water and for this reason I wouldn't recommend any sleeping arrangements that weren't fully enclosed. Would most definitely stay here again, and can't speak more highly of how Sibby welcomes people to her land :)

Noonameena - A bush sleeping place
We had a great time at Sibby's property. We had just picked up our new caravan and wanted something not too far from the highway (far enough so you couldn't here it). Our kids (and budgie) loved the abundance of native birds and that site was large enough to kick the soccer ball around. Sibby met us on arrival and showed us to our generously sized site. Perfect alternative to busy and congested caravan parks. Highly recommend.

Noonameena - A bush sleeping place
Sibby was great with communication. Very prompt with replies. In comparison to other places we have stayed at which had much more space, activities to do at the site, features like power, etc, the cost for the stay was rather expensive for what you get ($79 per night with our 5 year old and 6 year old each being $12 extra a night). For the price we were just expecting more than what it is. As per the listing, the ground does get soggy under the weight of a caravan when it has been raining. The space is flat and the stay was pleasant and fairly quiet apart from a few barking dogs.
