Yengo Bush Camp
1. Yengo Bush Camp
100%
(12)
7.1km from Finchley Aboriginal Area · 1 site
Our site provides a perfect opportunity to step away from the rush of life, into a place where time slows, nature speaks, and the land welcomes you with open arms.
Nestled in an open valley, within the ancient lands of the Darkinjung people- the traditional custodians of Yengo National Park, we offer the perfect space to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with the land, yourself, and the rhythms of nature.
As you walk through the valley, along ridges, and into the bushland, you follow paths walked for thousands of years. The land holds stories, wisdom, and energy that invite a deep sense of presence and respect.
The valley teems with native wildlife. Wake to the calls of lyrebirds, watch wallabies grazing in the mist, and spot wombats burrowing at dusk. Birdwatchers will delight in the chance to see colourful parrots, majestic eagles, and other native species in their natural habitat. As night falls, the sky opens in all its brilliance, offering a breathtaking display of stars unspoiled by city lights. Sleep beneath the endless sky, wrapped in the sounds of the bush, and experience the deep peace that comes with being immersed in nature.
Our place offers more than just an outdoor getaway, it invites you to slow down and embrace the landscape around you. Whether seeking solitude or shared experiences, there are countless ways to connect with this ancient land:
• Bushwalking & Exploration – Wander along trails through the valley, ridges, and bush to experience Yengo’s diverse ecosystems.
• Stillness & Reflection – Find a quiet spot to sit and simply be. Let the land guide you into a state of stillness, free from distractions and daily pressures. Listen to the wind, the birds, and the wisdom held in the land itself, or engage in meditation or journalling to deepen your connection with yourself and the environment.
• Campfire Connection – As the sun sets, gather around the warmth of the fire. Share stories, listen to the crackling wood, and embrace the simplicity of conversation under the vast night sky.
Please note the property is relatively remote, 30 minutes from Wollombi along an unsealed road.

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.

Closed for the Summer. Check in with us in February for an opening date for 2026.
Nestled under the Watagan mountains escarpment in the Hunter valley, the property has some amazing views in all directions, but still remains secluded and hidden from view. The property has been selectively cleared to maintain a balance of open land and untouched bushland which has a boundary to the Watagans National Park.
The animal life is very diverse as many species transition from the Watagans into the property and many live on site full time. These include flocks of amazing bird species such as Gang gang and Black Cockatoos, resident Wedge tailed eagles, Kookaburras, finches, honey eaters, Coucals, Lyrebirds and more. Wallabies of various types are common, and Sugar gliders can be seen on the flowering Eucalypts.
The camping areas for RV's sit on a large elevated flat area that border a large gorge with broken views towards the Hunter Valley vineyards. The Gorge (or Canyon) is rimmed by caves and has rainforest type trees in the bottom. The caves can be explored and the rainforest can be walked if you are fit!
The tent and camper trailer areas are terraced into an area of slight slope with a number of sites to chose from. Non potable water taps are available at each caravan site and at intervals in the camping area. This water is clear fresh dam or bore water and can be used for showers, washing up etc. Two flush toilets are available for use by both RV's and campers. There is a central fire pit.
We have a private site which has open views over the Hunter Valley to the Vineyards and beyond to the Barrington tops. This site has a cliff edge pool that comfortably fits up to 4 people for a dip. This area has a large fire pit that can be used to heat the pool in winter.
This site has its own flushing toilet and Shower. This site is best suited to a caravan as it is terraced, though it would be possible to setup tents or a camper van in this location also. This can also be booked as a group site.
16minutes to Cessnock, 25minutes to the M1, 2.25 hours to Sydney central and 25 minutes to Pokolbin.
The location is generally very peaceful with all sorts of wildlife.
There is plenty of ground sticks for fire wood and bulk timber for purchase.

Rolf place is amazing if you are after a few days of switching off and connecting to nature. His property has a number of places where to camp so even if there is another group booked at the same time you not all need to be in the spot. I have enjoyed listening to the birds in the morning, walking around his property, watching the local wildlife. Rolf has great instructions to get to his place- the drive through the valley is breathtaking. I will be back. Thanks Rolf for being such a great host!

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.

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!

A beautiful stay for anyone in need of a reset in the bush. Private campsites all with their own unique qualities, surrounded by the orchestra from the bush. We enjoyed exploring the nearby bush and caves dotted around the campsite and property. Brian and Sallly were also welcoming and accommodating hosts, who we chatted with and introduced us to their bees. We can't wait to come back. P.S. the honey is delicious

My partner and I loved camping at Wattle Valley Farm! Each spot looked very secluded and lots of room between each one.
All the amenities were clean, well-maintained and uncrowded.
Lots of areas to explore and a nice little creek to swim in as well!

We had a lovely time at Wattle valley farm camping. The hosts welcomed us and showed us different spots available for our tent and car. Every spots felt private and we never felt on top of the other guests. It was a really hot weekend and were really glad we could swim in the river ! Also the shower and toilet facilities were perfect, clean and enough for all the campers. U would really recommend this place for families and people with dogs.

Great hosts and campsite, have been before and would go again. There's a good availability and variation in sites. We had a lovely time with our dog in a little spot surrounded by bush and near the river so we felt quite separate from everyone else, although you could still hear adjacent spots, which was to be expected

Beautiful big property, our campsite was set amongst the trees in large, completely secluded, natural surroundings. This is a great bush camping area, with the advantage of hot showers and toilet facilities back at the front gate a 10 minute drive away. Friendly staff too! Come prepared though, no reception or shops within an hours drive.

Very private site with lots of shade. Brian was responsive and has set-up the camp sites well.
