The campsite offers a mix of experiences, with its convenient location near beaches and sights being a standout feature. Many campers appreciate the quiet and flat grounds, making it a favored spot for overnight stays. However, upkeep issues like unmowed grass and overflowing bins have been noted, along with occasions of noisy or disrespectful neighbors. While some visitors find the price steep given the lack of amenities, others enjoy the basic camping experience close to nature.

It was a great location and very quiet. Close to beach Rd and sight-seeing. Easy access.
Great spot. Quiet. Easy to back caravans into. Creek at the back, cows chewing away on the grass. If we come back this way, we would return. Thank you.

Was a really nice and flat spot for a one night stay over. Very low traffic and barely any noise so made it so peaceful!
Nice and flat area where we could leave the car attached to the van. Only needed somewhere to stay for the night. Quiet area with bins available.

Made the mistake of stopping in here. The grass was up to the shin, there was little to no instruction on parking and you’re right next to a river which once the sun goes down brings out millions of mozzies. For the price and everything provided, you will find better camp sites in the area.

$45 seems expensive for just a bit of grass that hasn’t been mowed

Base for exploring Port Stephens

Nothing special, but it does work as a base for exploring Port Stephens, but that’s about it.
The space could really do with a mow and a proper clean, as there was a lot of litter around. The bins were overflowing and people kept leaving rubbish and items piled around them.
It was very busy when we stayed and it felt completely packed. We shared the space with some pretty poor-quality camp neighbours who had zero respect for others, urinating around the place, spitting toothpaste everywhere, and generally leaving mess behind.
There was a group of around 12 people who partied on until about 1am, plus four other couples (including us) camped close by.
While we were sitting by our fire, another group of four took the fire pit barrel and wood being used by the group of 12 and started to use in their own site. The campers weren’t happy when they returned that evening.
We thought it was disrespectful behaviour, but when we woke up the next morning, all the bricks from our fire pit had been taken and moved to the other people’s site who originally had their fire pit taken. That made us feel really uncomfortable and we were glad we weren’t staying another night.
Mosquitos were absolutely brutal at dawn.
Overall, the location is the only real positive. The lack of upkeep, overcrowding, and behaviour of other campers really took away from the experience.

I liked that place. It’s in a great location if you want to visit places like Nelson Bay and Anna Bay, and I’d definitely recommend it.

Overall pretty average stay, was good to have rubbish bins as the place was clean but neighbours were very loud until early hours of the morning so wouldn’t recommend staying there as we didn’t get sleep. Would pick another Hipcamp over this one. Was also pretty busy and camping right next to one another wasn’t very much space at all.

Overall was a great spot, quiet and grass was great to camp on. Too close to the creek meant we had to battle with heaps of flies.
Pretty meh. Good for a legal place to park a van or roof top but an expensive strip of grass at that. Bins available for rubbish but not a very welcoming site and the lack of amenities make the price not worth it.

The place was awful, it was on the side of the road, and there was no fire pit and even had nowhere to make a fire.

We enjoyed our stay here over the long weekend. It was busy, to be expected but still had plenty of room. It will be great when the other paddocks are opened up to get off the road and drive way.

I enjoyed camping at Tania’s was nice and easy to find. I will definitely return
Despite it says there's nothing, they could put a bin at least. There's no even a bin to put trash, you cannot even go through the gate, it's a farm entrance, no trees to protect from sun and the nights were very windy. They charge you 40 dollars per night, it's a lot for what they offer.

A good place for an overnight stay but no facilities and right next to a mosquito ridden stream. The beach they show in the photos is also kinda hard to access

Nice spot for a quick overnight stay. Easy communication with the host.
I cannot recommend this place at all. The Hipcamp site was a complete rip-off. The area was tiny, and the loud music from the nearby house blared late into the night. I was very disappointed, especially after paying a substantial amount for the campsite. Would've been better to stay at a rest area.
This was a really last minute stop for us but it did the job. Fire pit was provided and not far from service stations, beach e.t.c.
Basic but provided what we needed!!
