7.1km from Finchley Aboriginal Area · 1 site · Tent, RV

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, about 30 minutes from Laguna along a mostly unsealed road

Welcome to HOME – a secluded off-grid camping experience in the heart of nature. Tucked away and surrounded by national park on three sides, this is as peaceful and remote as it gets. No crowds, no noise, no rush. Just open land, fresh air, and the sound of birds from sunrise to sunset. HOME is designed for those who truly enjoy nature and simplicity. This is a fully self-sufficient camping site, meaning you will need to bring everything you need for your stay. There is no power on site, and no luxury infrastructure – you are here to connect with the land and the nature. We offer access to a shower and a compost toilet, but everything else is up to you. Think of it as camping the way it was meant to be. You’ll be sharing the space with wildlife – kangaroos, wombats, and an abundance of birdlife call this place home. If you’re lucky (and respectful), you might even spot our very shy red-bellied black snake, who prefers to keep to itself. ⸻ Important things to know before booking: * This is a bring-your-own-gear campsite * No powered sites * Water is NOT drinkable – please bring your own drinking water * No glass bottles allowed on the property (for safety and environmental reasons) * All rubbish must be taken with you when you leave * Fires must be fully extinguished before departure * Access includes a 40 minutes dirt road and natural terrain – you need a high clearance car, ⸻ The experience: Wake up to mist over the land, spend your day exploring or doing absolutely nothing, and wind down by the fire under a sky full of stars. No reception. No distractions. Just space to breathe. If you’re looking for raw, quiet, and real – you’ll feel at HOME.

11km from Finchley Aboriginal Area · 2 sites · Tents, RVs

Our campsites are few and far between, just the way we like it. Each one is private, peaceful, and shaded by native gums. Wake to the sound of kookaburras laughing in the morning light. Watch wallabies, roos, and wombats graze at dusk. Let the crackle of your campfire be the only sound come nightfall. Here, we live simply. Solar power, rainwater tanks, and good old-fashioned bush smarts keep things ticking. No frills, no fuss, just real country hospitality in its rawest, richest form. If you’re after Wi-Fi and modern comforts, this might not be for you. But if you want to sit by a fire, share a yarn, and wake up to birdsong while sharing a cuppa, we’ll have a spot waiting. At the end of Upward Road, hidden in the folds of Yengo National Park, lies The Upward Place — a quiet, off-grid patch of paradise carved into our ancient land. Surrounded by sandstone ridges and wide skies, this humble, hardworking bush block invites campers to slow down and settle into the rhythm of the wild. And under construction is The Boree Bush Bakery, a micro bakery tucked into the heart of the property. On bake days, you’ll smell it before you see it — fresh sourdough, flaky pastries, and proper meat pies made with love (and a bit of bush magic). It’s an honest feed in an honest place.

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.

Our group had a wonderful time at Brian & Sally’s property! Sally was very welcoming and kept us well informed ahead of our stay; Brian even took the kids (and dads) for a tour/bushwalk and shared his some of his incredible knowledge about the land and living off grid. The goanna site was clear and the bush toilets very convenient. Thanks and we hope to see you again soon!

Weekend Trip to Chapman Valley

This was our third stay at Chapman Valley and our second time camping at Pig Run 2, and it certainly won’t be our last! From the ease of self check-in, and great communication prior, everything was a breeze. We absolutely love staying here. Pig Run 2 was beautifully quiet and peaceful, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. We spent some time exploring the property in our 4WD, enjoying the tracks and taking in the beautiful scenery and wildlife, before returning to our campsite. We ended the day with a great campfire. I highly recommend preordering firewood. Chapman Valley is such a special place, and every visit reminds us why we keep coming back. We can’t wait for our next stay. Highly recommend—10/10!

Weekend Trip to Quorragami

The site is absolutely beautiful and nothing beats waking up to those gorgeous views. Charly is a great host and the instructions for access are super clear. We bought two tractor buckets of firewood for our two night stay as we found running both the hot tub and a campfire for cooking used up a fair amount of firewood, especially given it was a bit windy the first night. Bring your own water for hygiene as although the amenities are wonderful, the dam/bore water that they’re run on was quite murky, and we ended up using our own water where we’d been hoping to use the amenities (handwashing and showering), so make sure to bring plenty of water with you. We loved staying here and there’s not many places out there like it - especially given its proximity to Pokolbin and some of our favourite wineries. The stars are absolutely beautiful at night as there isn’t any interfering light and the site had plenty of space for our hilux rooftop tent set up (with the exception of our awning, but we didn’t need it). It’s wonderfully private - there’s definitely wildlife around which was lovely but none came even remotely near the site.

2 nights at The Home Retreat

We stayed at HOME Retreat last weekend and had an amazing experience. The property is peaceful, beautifully designed, and surrounded by stunning nature. The views towards Yengo Mountain were spectacular, and exploring the cave on the property made the stay even more unique and memorable. It's the perfect place to escape the city, relax, and recharge in a tranquil setting. We left feeling refreshed and can't wait to visit again. Highly recommended! 🌿🏡⛰️

2 nights at Quorragami

The Canyon View campsite with hot tub was amazing! The view is absolutely stunning. The facilities are really well designed functionally and aesthetically. The shower and toilet block are made from stone and local timber and are rustic and luxurious! Lots of details and thought has been put into this site. The hot tub is indeed on the edge of a canyon rock edge with views to die for. Lots of bird life in the surrounding bush. We drove our 2 wheel drive RV in. The roads are dirt and gravel . Go slow and steady and its fine. The reward at the end is so worth it. Amazing place. We'll be back.

Absolutely stunning campground! The location is beautiful, surrounded by nature with breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the sites were spacious and private. Waking up to the sounds of birds and enjoying the fresh air made for a perfect getaway. It’s also very pet-friendly, which made the experience even better, as our furry companion was able to enjoy the adventure with us. A special thank you to our wonderful hosts, Newsha and Reza, for their warm hospitality and for making us feel so welcome throughout our stay. Whether you're looking to relax, explore the outdoors, or spend quality time with family, friends, and pets, this campground is an excellent choice. We'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable camping experience.
