Great Hipcamp next to a river, with only a couple of campsites (private). The river seems like a good fishing spot but unfortunately for us the recent floods in the area made it impossible. However, I can see this spot being great in summer.
One additional point is that the site is literally on the road, where you can hear cars all day and night come through. There is no fence or hedge to hide the campsite. There is also no lock on the gate, meaning anyone could drive to the site (20 meters from the gate) and steal our stuff. At 1 am on our first night, a group of young people showed up to our campsite - not the owners fault but not ideal … again, could be fixed by putting a lock on the gate.
Overall great spot, but needs a bit of small fixes to be an amazing campsite. Would recommend.

I enjoyed my stay on site 2, there is a fire pit supplied and great views of the hunter river. Emma was great to deal with I made a very last minute booking and she was more than accomodating thank you

Very easy to get to, right off the main road. Feels very safe - occasional traffic coming past and a house situated within eye distance. Very private campground but also good knowing as a solo camper there is help around if you need. Stunning scenery and well kept. 10/10

I really enjoyed myself during our stay and was exactly what we needed for our weekend away.
Very close to the road (which was ok for us) but can see this might be a problem for others.
Would stay again ☺️

We enjoyed our camp at Rosebrook campsite. Its location being close to town and proximity to the river was fantastic. I took my 5 year old son for his first night away camping and fishing which we both thoroughly enjoyed. We will be back for sure his only complaint was we weren’t there long enough. Haha. Until next time.

Rosebrook Site 1
Our site was clean, with minimal levelling required. There was good grass cover and the paddock firm and dry.
The wide, double gate is good. It is recessed, which gets you off the road to open and close it safely.
The campsites are a long distance from each other.
Emma provides the address to enter in Apple Maps, which takes you to the driveway. It is a very, very different location if you enter the address in Google Maps or Waze. There is zero signage to tell you when you have arrived. We used Apple Maps and still managed to overshoot the driveway.
There's no trees between the camping area and the road so we felt a little "on display". There was a lot of traffic noise. Maybe it was because it was a long weekend, but there were lots of motorbikes and plenty of cars using this road, both day and night.
The description of each Site was the same which made me believe I had access to the river from Site 1. I should have read more of the reviews before I made our booking. We had planned to spend plenty of time by the river. Once we got here we realised Site 1 did not have direct river access. You have to walk through Site 2 to get to the river. Subsequently, we did not go to the river at all because we felt uncomfortable walking though someone else's site without them expecting us to. The description for each site should explain the river access better.
Overall I was disappointed with this camp. I would stay for an overnight, passing through stop, but not for a longer stay.

Great spot on the river, bit of a walk from our site to get down to the river though. Great spot to take a dog, plenty of space to run around

The block was flat and clear.
Great spot on river. The river is great.
However, very close to road.
Lots of car noise early in morning.

Lovely spot, great views to the river, awesome to watch the sunset. Walk isn’t too far down the hill to the river which was quite shallow and perfect for our dogs to play in. Only thing I would mention is that you are quite close to a road (although it isn’t a main road) so any traffic driving past can see you and you can see/hear them. Otherwise great spot!

This place is our go-to getaway for a few days away. Close enough to amenities but far enough away to feel away from it all. It’s becoming a regular for us…a great place to enjoy some down time. We’ve been to Emma’s a few times now and we keep going back.

This is a great space for a long or short stay. It’s close to Maitland and other valley attractions. We often stay here when we just want an easy, relaxing few days away. The space is well maintained, grass is green and mowed. The river was accessible and was a great spot to cool off.

We loved our stay at Rosebrook, it was just what the doctor ordered. Peaceful, self sufficient open paddock with the river a short, albeit a little steep 😅 stroll away. We were able to spread a blanket next to the supplied fire pit, and and listen to music while gazing up at the stars. Best option at the moment would be to set up away from the tree line a bit, the cicadas are super loud right now, but that's everywhere!
Definitely a place we'd stay again. The close proximity to the road is a non issue, very minimal traffic along it, and you feel isolated enough from the other camp-site too. We did spot an eel in the river the next morning, but we had a refreshing wade in the water to cool off with no issues.
Thanks for having us!

Need to bring some shade for the summer sun, but a nice spot. Plenty of fish, birds, lizards and a kangaroo down on the river and had a younger water dragon jump out onto some branches in the water while I paddle passed in my kayak.

Ripper spot right on the river. Site YELLOW is closest to the ramp to the river. Heaps of room and privacy from the second site.

Great spot definitely will be back. If staying at Rosebrook one, you do have to walk a little to the right of gate coming in if you want to go to the river for a fish or kayak etc but not too far.

Stayed on the yellow section. I recon it’s the best of the two spots and had a large tree for shade. So much room to choose your spot. You’re elevated so you get a nice breeze. The water was so warm. Don’t tell anyone how good it is so it’s not always booked out. Only issue was Emma didn’t greet me with a nice cold beer……lol.

Over priced, for the price it would be expected to have at least fresh water accessibility or fire wood provided.

We had booked a stay here on site 1 as it looked lovely however, unfortunately when we turned up there was already someone else on our site so we had to stay on site 2 which wasn’t as nice. Emma did offer to try relocate them which was great of her but the other campers setup was too extensive to pack and move easily or quickly. Highly recommend putting some signage up to make it more obvious to other campers who don’t match the site image on the booking with the actual location. The second site is closer to the road, the view wasn’t as good, the lawn didn’t look as nice as the photos and there was dog poo on the site as well. Overall, it wasn’t one of our best experiences.
