Nice quiet place to
This was a great place to camp - a big grassy paddock with plenty of space. Janette appreciated the campers’ quest for the ‘perfect outlook’ and offered a few options unprompted. Number one spot by the dam is best if it’s available. Very convenient to the Hunter Valley wineries. They sell firewood - just ask.

Beautiful setting with lots of trees and kangaroos about. Janette selects the camp locations and ensures each booking is spread out in their own space.
Port a loo also has a hand basin with rain water and soap to wash hands.
Some distant traffic / road noise, but not significant to impact the broader peacefulness of the setting.

Great location for the wineries
Janette was very accommodating of our larger group. There was plenty of space to spread out, even with other groups on site. The view over the pond was lovely and you felt secluded. The property was beautifully maintained and the grass a good length even outside the direct camp spot.
The toilet is a pit toilet, but it’s very well kept - clean and not smelly (toilet spray and paper provided). The wood available to purchase is a generous amount for the cost and Janette even started our fire the first night.
The location was fantastic for exploring the Hunter, it was short drive to most wineries and the shops.

Good base to explore the Hunter V
Janette is a wonderful host who has a lovely property. You would hardly know you were camping with other people, it’s very private and although we didn’t need them, Jeanette’s place even comes complete with ammenities.

Wine tour Camping with your family
What a great spot, beautiful farm, and awesome camp facilities. Thanks so much, we will be back and possibly fairly regularly. Was great that even fully booked it was a good 50-80m between us and the next closest camp. Highly recommend

We loved Janettes property. Big grassy sites. Suitable for big vans or tents. A clean toilet with sink. Fire pits and lots of wood. A few other vans were there too but we barely noticed them. Great location not far from main road. We wished we had more time to stay longer! We will definitely be back.

Nice open field area with shade.
Tank water available (not for drinking)
It was very windy when we were there and the site can be quite exposed.

The BEST wine country camp spot
Janette makes you feel at home as she meets you at the gate and directs you to the spots, we had a lovely spot site 1 near the dam. Plenty of room for all size rigs we hav an 18 foot van and easily accessed this property even in the wet the grounds held. So much room for the kids to run around and feed the birds, in the mornings we watched the kangaroos hop around the property. The town closest is 8 mins away with a dump point & bins it also had great pubs and clubs with kids playgrounds and a fantastic new park with a scooter/bike track. We easily explored the wine region and the Hunter gardens. Janette has maps and will mark whatever interests you, the sites are so spaced out it felt like we had the place to ourselves which we did most of the time anyway. The property is so well maintained very neat and tidy, very peaceful spot and worth a stop!

What a great spot! About 15-20 minutes from the Hunter Valley wineries which is super handy. All of the spots were flat and well maintained. Owner was super friendly. We will definitely be coming back.

We were welcomed by Janette and taken to our beautiful site overlooking a lovely little dam. Janette went over and above to help us with questions about the area and was so hospitable in every way. We would thoroughly recommend her place!

We had a great nights sleep at Jeanette's place. Whisper quiet. The camping area is large, quite flat with some nice shade trees. The sites are very well spaced out. Jeanette was friendly and was happy for us to pick our spot as there was only one other camper that night.

A lovely spot
Loved staying on Janette’s property. We were next to a lovely pond. Kangaroo nearby every morning and evening, along with many birds. We took Janette’s advice and visited nearby Hunter vineyards and restaurants. Janette was very friendly and helpful.

Peace and tranquility
We had such a lovely and peaceful stay. Shame it was only one night this time, but we will definitely be back to stay longer next time we are travelling through the area. The property is very well maintained and so tranquil. Easy to find off the highway, no traffic noise whatsoever! Perfect!

We had a beautiful night at The Vineyards Doorstep. It was quiet, only a few other campers on site. The birds, kangaroos and lovely trees on the park like acres made for a relaxing evening. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset and a very pretty foggy sunrise.
Janette greeted us at the gate and showed us around the camping area. She was very warm and welcoming.
We had our old labrador Lilly with us and she loved the space, the smells and sounds also.
If you are looking for somewhere to just enjoy peace and quiet but also want to feel safe and secure this is it.
