Escape the hustle and reconnect with nature at our peaceful farmstay campsite on Putty Road, nestled in the heart of rural New South Wales. Whether you’re after wide open spaces, shady creekside relaxation, or a unique countryside experience, our working farm has something for everyone.
Campers can choose from two main areas:
🌿 Creekside Camping – Pitch your tent or park your van near the serene seasonal creek at the bottom of the property. After rain, the creek comes to life, offering a peaceful spot that’s perfect for unwinding.
🌾 Main Camping Area – Stay closer to our well-equipped amenities block, which features four clean toilets and two hot showers, along with access to power and water. This is a great option for those who prefer a few more comforts during their stay.
Families are especially welcome here – there’s plenty of room for kids to ride non-motorised bikes, run around, make noise, and simply enjoy being kids in a safe and open space. It’s the kind of place where childhood adventures come alive.
We also welcome groups – if you're interested in booking as a group, please message the host, and we can open up extra sites to accommodate you.
In the evenings, gather around the fire pit under the stars – perfect for roasting marshmallows, sharing stories, or simply soaking in the peaceful sounds of the countryside.
As a working farm, you’ll often see cattle, sheep, and horses grazing in nearby paddocks (and if you're staying creekside, they may even share the paddock with you), adding to the authentic rural charm. Kids and adults alike love watching the animals roam.
Bring your camera, your campfire stories, and your sense of adventure – then relax under the stars. This unique slice of country life is ready to welcome you.
Please note that we are currently experiencing issues with the dam retaining water. As a result, the water level is lower than usual. We are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
Also please note there is no mobile reception at the camp ground, except for limited Telstra coverage (occasionally one bar) in some spots—perfect for a digital detox!

With its large, secluded Bush Campsites, 'Chapman Valley' is still Sydney's best-kept secret!
Picture this. Your weekend escape is relaxed from the very start - the car trip along the scenic winding Putty Road is slow and leisurely as you know you can arrive at any time for the self serve check-in.
After signing in, you meander through this Beef Cattle farm, heading to your own designated camping area. A private corner of the property all to yourselves! After setting up camp, and showing off your awesome (of course) campfire lighting skills, you sink back in your camp-chair and listen to ...the bush.
And you see ...the bush. Not a single other camper in site. Oh, except the ones you invited with you of course!
There they are. The kids running enthusiastically across the open paddock chasing after their footy, with Buster, the family dog happily nipping at their heels.
"They'll sleep well tonight!" you think to yourself happily, as you sink further into your camp-chair and take a long drink on that ice cold beer.
1hr drive from the nearest town (Singleton), "Chapman Valley" is the perfect oasis for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle. There are no nearby shops so be sure to bring everything with you. The property offers over 100kms of bush tracks ideal for walking, push-bike riding or 4WDing.

Brilliant location for those who want a private, quiet campsite, surrounded by nature. Our campsite was on a freshly mowed cleared fielded, surrounded by dense forest. 4WD was needed for our site due to tight turns and wet conditions but they offer plenty of other campsites for caravans and trailers. Brian and Sally were extremely helpful and I would definitely recommend them.

Cranky Rock camp is fantastic! Even though it was the end of a long weekend when I arrived and there were plenty of other campers, the sites are all very large and there is plenty of room for all. The facilities (composting toilets) are clean and well maintained. Communication pre-arrival was excellent. Definitely recommend a visit if you are in the area.

So much space so you can enjoy privacy whilst camping. And plenty of lovely little areas to pick from to set up. I love camping remote with no signal, power or amenities, but at the same time being so close to town (15 min drive) is handy for supply runs.

Drove down into the campsite during a 37 degree day. Heavy tree cover was a saving grace and did help in making it cooler. Campsite is very spacious and quite secluded from other campers. Robert was extremely helpful and helped us in guiding the campsite and also left a few things for us like some hot plates for cooking.
The bathroom is kept extremely clean and had no smell.
There is plenty of firewood available around the campsite.
The drive into the campsite was a bit tricky. It is an uphill drive on rocky terrain. We drove in on an all wheel drive and was able to drive relatively stress free. However I would reccomend that you drive in with a car that has some clearance as there are a few rocks on the trail.
There is a hill a few hundred metres away from the site which does have Optus and Telstra coverage. However for the most part service is limited.
I would definitely recommend this campsite and a big shoutout to Robert for being so kind and helpful.

We really loved camping on Brian and Sallys farm- the spot was totally private, beautiful scenery on the farm and surrounding area with lots to do, but most importantly it was very peaceful and amazing not having wifi/signal to totally unwind. Loved seeing lots of wildlife including wombats!
Both Sally and Brian were so welcoming and showed us around the hives and invited us in for a lovely chat!
Thank you for having us, we will be back!

Had a great weekend - thankfully lots of water in the creek to swim during the heat of Australia Day long weekend. Toilets were well maintained, plenty of space and nice isolated location.
