Natire Break
The Grove is somewhere I would definately recommend if you are keen to head there for a Nature Break.
It is less than an hour from Newcastle and an ideal location If you have a self contained set-up because you can wide-berth the basic sheltered communal area and find your own little nook to face out into the bush.
Maggie was a delight to briefly chat to and also gave us plenty of space to enjoy our stay.
I am already plotting and planning when I can next get back there...and with who.

Maggie's property was very spacious and lush and it was so nice to see wallabies grazing at sunset. We had a lovely time and it felt very secluded and peaceful. Just a headsup though - the bathroom is not super close to where we camped, about a 5 minute walk, and the kitchen (as listed in the hipcamp listing) is more of a food prep area with a bbq stove and water buckets, but no running faucet. There is a fridge but it is about a 10 minute walk from our site. So we ended up doing a bit more walking, which was great exercise anyway! Thanks so much Maggie, we had a very relaxing time!

Quiet, peaceful, time in nature. We spent a relaxing 2 days camping here, it is a beautiful place to relax. The campsite was not crowded and each group had lots of space and privacy with a fantastic communal area in the middle where the children came out to play! Lots of Wallabies and birds to see. Hosts were extremely friendly and came out to meet us when we arrived. Would stay again and definitely recommend!

A great family camping spot
A peaceful and quiet family camp. We loved the birds and wildlife, tall trees and open space for kids to run.
Maggie and Bill are lovely hosts, going above and beyond to ensure our stay was exactly what we needed. They even offered us hot soup when we arrived in the dark, raining and the coldest day in 30 yrs. Can’t wait to visit again.

Great well-sheltered campsite
Good campsite, friendly and responsive hosts (thanks Bill and Maggie). Very sheltered from the wind, flat grounds for pitching tents, plenty of firewood and access to firepits. Really gives you the feeling of going "off-grid" with no mobile coverage (this is a plus!). Close to Watigan Road for easy access to bush (4x4) trails. Would definitely stay again, we had a great time :)

Must camp here!
It was a wonderful new year camp despite weather conditions (a wet, rainy December for NSW) something beyond the host and us. We felt like an adventure and definitely got one! .. Maggie herself was a wonderful host. Checked up on us and brought the kiddies chocolates! Becuase of rain she was accompdating enough to give us an early checkin and a late checkout (bogged down car).. the kitchen/dining shelter was a welcome surprise. It was perfect to keep our stuff dry, cook and eat our meals in. The toilet is clean and well maintined, tbe best we've experienced on any hipcamp sites. The property is a good mix of facilities and privacy. We even received her own music album which we played enroute home! We're definitely coming back again!

We had an absolutely wonderful time camping here. It is a beautiful location with great facilities for campers. The area is spacious, clean, well maintained, and has sufficient privacy for everyone whilst also still feeling like a bit of a community. Maggie is an incredible, communicative, helpful host. Highly recommend!

A mate and I took our 3 year old kids for a one night trip here and had the best time. Maggie was very welcoming and the facilities were a bonus (dining shed & outhouse toilet). Everything was very well presented and looked after. There are multiple fire pits and numbers are limited to 25 on-site so it would never be too busy. Perfect for our requirements. We’ll be back for sure

Beautiful Spot
Arcadia Lodge is a beautiful spot and is definitely worth to be visited. Very private, surrounded by the bush, quiet and peaceful. We spent a wonderful night there and we will be back. Maggie is a lovely host welcoming us upon arrival and providing us with all the details on the property. Thanks for being our host.

The campsite was large and open. The whole camping areas were clean, neat and well maintained. Arcadia Lodge supplied a firepit that kept us warm at night and doubled as our BBQ.
Maggie was warm and welcoming when we arrived and through out the stay.
Great for families.

We spent a few days camping over the Labour Day weekend in October. It was really lovely camping amongst the trees in such a serene setting. We were camping with kids who loved spotting kookaburras and a few wallabies who would graze in some pastures nearby. Maggie and Bill were both very welcoming and had thought of little touches to help make our stay comfortable, such as providing freshly chopped wood, to a covered BBQ/dining area and the most memorable and cosy outhouse I've ever used!

Retreat to nature
Arcadia Lodge was a perfect retreat from the city and into nature. We loved our time there, we had plenty of room and the grounds have lots to offer with Wallabies, Kookaburras, Wombats, frogs, birds and a friendly Goanna. Maggie and Bill were very welcoming and checked in on us from time to time offering advice of day trips etc. We will be back.

Maggie and Bill are wonderful hosts. They sent us clear directions and was very welcoming. The property is nice and the camping area is beautiful with plenty of tree cover all around. The camp kitchen/shelter was nicely setup with seating arrangements, BBQs and water. The toilet was always very clean despite it being a busy long weekend. We had a wonderful time and would love to go back and camp there again.

We booked last minute, and Maggie and her family were very welcoming. The upkeep of the place is immaculate. We were able to pick our own site as there was no one there the first night except us. Great place for bike riding for the kids and great fire pits, firewood supplied!! Thanks Maggie.
