Relaxing stay surrounded by nature

Stoney Creek Sanctuary Camping
The site is nestled in the valley between beautiful trees, a quiet stream, and forest. Very calm and resting, easy to set up camp, the evening bonfire under the stars was a magical moment. Amenities are basic (dry toilets, shower, basic cooking) but perfect for easy camping with family. The open barn to shelter and eat was a real plus. Our kids loved the dogs, the board and card games, the occasional python, and just the plants. The hosts were lovely and really helpful. This is a good place if you are not precious about amenities and want splendid nature. walking tracks to NSW tallest trees all around, and short drive to wild Bluey's beach, smith lake and seal rocks. We were pretty unlucky to have massive rain during our stay which drenched the soil and had to cut short as there was a risk of flooding. Host kept on top of things to insure our safety. we'll come back when it is dry and sunny !

We had a lovely time on Stoney Creek Sanctuary for a couple of nights. It’s a nice property near Seal Rocks (30 mins drive). Mel and her family were very welcoming.

The campsite was nice. Not too crowded. Facilities were very handy for someone who does not own a lot of camping gear. We would come back here again.

This is a fantastic place that Mel and Steve have created. Beautiful, tranquil. A great harmony of gardens and natural surroundings. With all the amenities you need. Just a short drive to the best beaches in NSW.

Easter Weekend with kids
Tent · With kids ·
Stoney Creek Sanctuary Camping
Mel and Steve are incredibly welcoming hosts. Steve met us and gave us a brief tour of their very well thought out facilities. A communal fire area, kitchen area, pit toilets and outdoor shower are free to use. The games room is generously packed with odds and ends for kids to play, and the whole vibe was very welcoming, relaxed and fun. Steve kept the fire going and the property is beautiful, well cared for with multiple spaces to enjoy together or privately. Two of our kids are nervous around dogs, but within hours they all fell in love with the dogs Dude and Snuggles, who are as friendly as their owners and very tolerant of multiple small children chasing, patting and otherwise bothering them. Highly recommend Steve and Mels place for anyone looking to stay in the area. Easy day trips to anywhere from Seal Rocks to Hawks Nest.

Stoney Creek Sanctuary Camping
Lovely well maintained location. Enough room that it was still semi-private despite being the Easter long weekend. Hot showers were great and the composting toilets were clean. Lots of books to read in the communal area and things to see all around the site. A great community vibe that would be perfect for families with young kids or couples on getaways, probably not for a rowdy bunch. Very close to buladelah if in need of supplies. Overall we had a great 3 days here and would highly recommend, the hosts were also lovely.

Stoney Creek Sanctuary Camping
Melanie's property is a beautiful and welcoming space. Melanie and her partner greeted us upon arrival and were very accommodating. They gave us a tour of their property and made us feel at home. It was very peaceful! They have a large communal area that has so much to do! Their community barn has books to read, games to play and best of all, the property has lots of space to play and explore. I would recommend Stoney Creek Sanctuary to anyone in the area, especially if you have young kids!

Melanie was very welcoming; she showed us around the farm and made fire for us to cook and stay warm. She was very responsive and fast to confirm the reservation.
