Another absolutely awesome stay. I’m jealous of how good these camp sites look, I wish my lawn looked this good. Shared a reel whilst we were there and have responded to multiple people who have asked where is this place and how do they book. Had people driving on the road stop us when going for a walk to take down the details of this amazing Hipcamp. The hosts are simply amazing and we absolutely love having a chat. Oh don’t tell anyone but we did see the platypus again. Water was simply amazing, flowing nicely with an abundance of small fish. Can’t wait to come back!

Awesome location just beside the Gloucester river. Lovely hosts and helpful with local knowledge.

This is the second time I have stayed at Denise’s property and will definitely be back. It offers a lovely green open space along the river with limited spots with good spacing between for setting up camp. It is a good distance from the road so you don’t get the dust like other areas may do. The river has a couple of nice spots where it is deep enough to cool off with a swim. We got to meet the owners (and their wonderful working dogs) and were made to feel very welcome -Denise even gave us some of her lovely farm eggs which was a pleasant surprise. As it is a working farm, we had cows around on our first day and night and thoroughly enjoyed their company before they were moved to another area. Loved the peacefulness of the place and the friendly kookaburras. Would highly recommend!

Lovely riverside camping. Very private. Chichester river was very clear and the (100m stroll) upstream pool was deep and long enough for laps. River right outside camp 1 had places just deep enough to tea bag and rinse or cool off.
Level grass site and good afternoon shade. Dungog is ~35mins away and nearby trail into national park is partially through private property so is inaccessible without a key. So Mtb options nearby are limited. But it's all about relaxing by the river with the birds and watching for platypus. Perfect for that. John the host is very welcoming. We'll be back.

Great spot ! Didn’t hear a person, see another person or hear a car in 3 days other than John popping in to say high in the mornings. The pictures speak for themselves . Definitely coming back! It’s worth the drive to get there. Dungog is a lovely town to stop through too.

We loved camping at Roma Orchard! Lovely, grassy sites next to the river. Mick is a great host and made sure we were comfortable. It was VERY hot while we were there but next to (and inside) the river it was beautiful! Lunch at Linga Longa pub in Gundy on Australia Day was a highlight to round of a fantastic few days in the Aussie countryside.

About
Embark on an adventure through the lush landscapes of Coneac State Conservation Area. Established in 2003, this 804ha sanctuary invites nature enthusiasts to immerse themselves in its diverse ecosystems. Traverse scenic trails, spot local wildlife, and soak in the tranquillity of the great outdoors. While camping options are not available within the park, the area offers a plethora of activities for day visitors.
When to go
