Milsons Camp was selected by James Milson back in 1823. Beautiful natural camp sites nestled along the Wollombi Brook. Just like a jolly swagman camped by the billabong you'll love relaxing & exploring our beautiful Aussie bush camp. Enjoy a drive along the Great North Road - Tourist Drive 33. We’re located between Laguna & Wollombi villages. Please bring an empty esky & support our local shops, restaurants & cafes. Wine tasting, great coffee & amenities are only 5 minutes drive away. Milsons Camp is a natural Aussie bush camp, made available to only fully self sufficient campers. We are right on the water course & thus not allowed to construct toilets. You come here for the beautiful experience of the Australian bush - But don't shit in it. There are no amenities, no drinking water, no toilets, no power. You must bring & use your own. Then please take all rubbish with you. Not suitable for large caravans - Limited to less than 19 foot - SINGLE AXLE only. Ours is a working farm & vineyard. We will be working most days. Please be respectful and enjoy only the camping area, creek & forest we share with you.

    Camped at The Billabong campsite, Aug 2021.

    The Billabong camp was a wonderful first time away for my family. We loved being off grid and totally present among nature. Our doggo loved sniffing the cows and following along for a adventure across the creek. We loved the little fire and were able to sit out side to enjoy our morning coffee. Was so surreal and lovely to get away from the hustle and bustle of "real life". Thanks Nat for a super enjoyable experience. We will be back! *Please note, our van is 22ft and towed with a 200 series Landcruiser. We struggled to get through front gate only due to the length of us. It took a few goes but with some directing it was achieved. Coming out was no problem*

    The campground is set out well. Beautiful relaxing spot. Billabong does not get much sun this time of the year so is quite wet underfoot. The other sites get lovely midday sun.

    • Beautiful sunset
    • Dogs loved running around

    Fantastic place to stay made better by Nathan and Son! Looking to book again soon. I don't know that anyone could have described the history of the site with more love and passion than Nat! This is a site that has historic significance, that is under sold by general description. "I guess that's any photos as well!" come without expectations and be over welhelmed by the stars. You may even see wombats in the mist!!! Cheeky little bugger ran away before I could get the camera!
