*****No toilet or shower available at this listing. You must bring your own. PLEASE BE AWARE ENTRY TO THE PROPERTY IS STEEP. Entry is not ideal for large caravans or campervans. *****
We do not allow fires at the campsite between the 1st of October and the 1st of March. We apologise for any inconvenience to this rule.
La Cascina is a small property on a hill surrounded by trees and bushland. There are two main camping areas which would suite tent and small to medium van/car camping. There is access to neighbouring bushland with nice short walks available in the area. Only 20 minutes by car to Newcastle CBD, 10 minutes by car to Redhead Beach and 5 minutes by car to Lake Macquarie.
La Cascina is a great spot to stop overnight on a road trip or to get away for the weekend to relax. We have no toilets so please bring your own. The access to the property is a steep sealed driveway.
Site 1 is an open site with plenty of shade. The area is flat. More suited to larger camping setups. This site is less private. There is vision of the neighbouring property and an overflow campsite 50 meters away.
Site 2 is a more uneven surface area which is better for smaller vans and tents.
Redhead Beach is the closest dog beach 10 minutes by car.
Croudace Bay is a dog park on the lake which is 5 minutes by car.
This is a family owned acreage that brings the best parts of environmental living with the benefits of being close to the coast and a city. A very long time ago it was the site of a quarry. The nature has returned and we are left with a beautiful forested acreage.

Noonameena is a beautiful retreat that feels secluded from the world, yet is just a stones throw from shops, beach, good food and parklands. We offer a number of grassy, level sites, some with shade, others with sun, all with bushland to the rear. There is also a pond/dam area, and lots of wildlife. We have a fire pit for communal use (subject to fire bans and weather conditions).
The kangaroos will come and visit you early in the morning, and in the evening. You will also see lots of different parrots and birds. We even have goannas and echidnas about and the black cockatoos will come in for a visit.
You will need to bring your own camp toilet, as we don't have facilities here.
Pets are welcome but please keep them on a lead at all times as we have lots of wildlife around!
Please note, when we have heavy rain, the ground can get boggy. We are very mindful to keep tabs on the weather for our guests, and will be in good communication with you in the lead up to your stay should we suspect there to be any issues. Whilst camping by the beautiful dam is lovely in fine weather, when it's raining, it’s best to camp towards the front of the property on higher ground. We'll advise the best solution in these circumstances.
LET US KNOW about your preferred booking even if it appears booked out, as we can probably make it work or have ALTERNATIVE solutions for you!
Some things to keep in mind:
* please convey your setup to the host at time of booking - to ensure most suitable site
* watch out for communications from the host and respond promptly
* arrival and set up SHOULD be before dark, out of respect for the wildlife, other campers, neighbouring properties and the host
* communicate ETA to host
* read the property RULES and specific details on each INDIVIDUAL site link to ensure understanding and a respectful stay (this is a LINK at the end)
* dogs need to be on a lead AT ALL TIMES
* dog poo MUST be removed and cleaned up
* PLEASE DRIVE SLOWLY at all times - respecting wildlife, pets, other campers and host property
* NO INDIVIDUAL FIRES - this is a bushfire area and requires fire permits
* Respect your allocated site and instructions, use your own camping toilet (not the grounds or bush - due to ground water) and clean up after yourself on the site

We are located at the foot of the Watagan Mountains, with space, serenity, and a bit of bush magic. Whether you’re here to tackle the 4WD tracks in the Watagans, explore Lake Macquarie’s waterways, or hit the coast (just 20–40 mins away), we’ve got the perfect base for your group.
Massive, well-spaced sites surrounded by birdlife, nature, and with a friendly resident doggo. Located just one hour north of Sydney via the M1, we’re the ideal "test run" for your new camper, van, or tent—plus, we're close enough to shops if you forget the essentials!
The Facilities (The Honest Truth):
We offer a flush toilet and an outdoor warm camp shower at no extra cost to the site fees. They are functional, but they aren't "Instagrammable." If you need luxury amenities, we might not be the spot for you. But if you're here for the open space, the bush, and quality time with friends and family, you’ll love it here as much as we do.
Also we have unfenced dams and waterways, if you are camping with young children please consider carefully and let me know before booking.

My first solo camp with my dog. He loved it.
Everything was great, my camping area was very big, a good distance away from other campers.
Very peaceful and great for a fire and roasted marshmallows.
There is firewood you can purchase which is great. And fire pits at each site 🙌🏻
Make sure to bring some toilet paper when visiting the loo.
If you’re fussy with amenities, go stay at a fancy caravan park.
Great experience and a great weekend getaway.

Wombats flat is the most beautiful camp ground, it made for the perfect stay. The scenery is lovely, and very peaceful and quiet. The set up is great, with a basic stove that we managed bacon and eggs on but took a while to warm up. It’s very dark, so makes for beautiful stars but would definitely recommend bringing substantial light to help cook under. Would definitely definitely recommend staying here- it was beautiful!

Alisa was lovely and met us arrival. Incredible to be able to camp right next to Lake Macquarie. They provided kayaks but we brought our own SUPs. Great for an early morning paddle before the wind comes up. Wood was even provided for a fire pit they have. Beautiful gentle grassy slope we found we needed bigger ramps than we brought. A quiet relaxed space. Thank you.

We enjoyed our week at Pear Tree Farm. The views are really nice, friendly horses and it was handy taking up the power & water extra. There was another camper on the other site but this posed no problems as there was heaps of distance between the sites. The location was also good with shops nearby and some nice walking trails about 10 minutes away. Communication with Andrew was also easy and clear throughout. Highly recommend this Hipcamp.

Louise was pleasant and prompt in our chats. We were very comfortable on Louise's land and staying at her site worked perfectly for us in our camper van. There was plenty of space between us and other campers. The rain-water-powered flush toilet and warm shower were wonderful, even if the two are housed in an utility shed! :) The kitchen ramada was a nice place to eat dinner.

Lovely and spacious. You don’t have to be close to anyone. Very dog friendly. The lake is amazing, with kayaks you can use if you want to. Jennie is very friendly and responsive too.
I’d stay again

We loved staying at Wallaby Haven. Great hosts. Great toilets. Plenty of room to spread out. Good walking tracks into the state forest.
Loved being able to share camping with our extended family and doggos. When the Easter rush ended Lou and Nigel were happy for us to have our dogs off lead and roaming near our site. Plenty of wallabies around and we saw a few deer in the surrounding area. Far enough from the M1 to be beautifully quiet, but close enough to be super convenient.
Highly recommended 👌
