We had a lovely quiet camp spot. Toilets & showers were clean & tidy & no waiting despite the site being half full. Not to far to venture into Wollembi for a look around (including a drink at the Tavern & a coffee) Enjoyed a relaxing stay. Matt & Jenna were lovely explaining where things were on arrival. Great girls weekend away.

Lovely location (hidden away behind some windy roads). Very well spaced out sites and more private sites further in. No phone coverage which to me is a plus 😂 Owners were nice and friendly. About 5 minutes from town (expect tourist pricing for everything except the pub). Would be happy to spend a long weekend there again!

We had a great 2 nights at Wattle Farm - our first time camping with our young kids. Toilets & showers were clean, checkin super easy and hosts very friendly and welcoming. Sites well spaced for privacy. Only recommendation would be a lock on the family shower room. Thanks for a great stay, we hope to come back again soon!

Camp at Wattle Valley Farm Wollombi
We had a great weekend at Wattle Valley Farm and would recommend this site. The campsites are nicely separated and clearly marked with open fireplaces and firewood available. The facilities are clean and private with hot showers and flushing toilets. A neighbouring wedding venue provided some Saturday night entertainment which we enjoyed but if you’re looking for a quiet site this may be problematic. The hosts were lovely, very accommodating and highly organised with their set up.

Camp at Wattle Valley Farm Wollombi
The hosts were very friendly and welcoming however it wasn’t a standout weekend that left me feeling like it’s a place I “have to” go back to. The campsites were good sizes and nice and flat but the person camping on our site before us left a bit of rubbish behind which was disappointing. The bathrooms were clean throughout our whole stay but the hot water was very temperamental and would switch from freezing cold to possible third degree burns very quickly. It also would be handy to have a shelf installed in the shower and bathroom area. Trying to balance towels/dirty cloths/clean cloths and a toiletries bag on two hooks doesn’t work. Also there is no where to put things down when brushing your teeth at the sink.

Plenty of camping space. Facilities were excellent. Cabins were very clean and cosy. Close to Wollombi if you require a coffee fix. Would have been great if we were able to access the creek . Overall a fantastic place for camping with friends and family.

Camp at Wattle Valley Farm Wollombi
Matt and Jenna were super lovely and amazing hosts. The amenities were always clean and stocked with ample amount of toilet paper, the showers were hot and never busy. Although it was the Easter Weekend, Matt and Jenna were mindful not to overbook and we had a large space to ourselves. There was potable rainwater that was drinkable but I would recommend bringing your own if you are a bit more sensitive! There is very limited to no reception so a fab spot to switch off and connect with nature. We loved our trip and would highly recommend!

Camp at Wattle Valley Farm Wollombi
Lovely campsite with so much space and individual campfires. Bathrooms and showers were hot and very clean each day. We bought fire wood from the hosts which was handy but we would suggest having the logs cut a little smaller in future. Only for we had our own hatchet we would have struggled to get the fire going as we needed to chop smaller pieces before using the logs we bought. Lovely cafe and bar in the local village. We would definitely choose this campsite again. .

Such a great spot, we just stayed for one night but would definitely love to come back for a longer weekend. Camp sites where tidy and well spaced, amenities were great and so close to the town of Wollombi, very easy to duck to the Tavern for dinner. Would definitely recommend

Terrible experience
Pet-friendly Camping
The owner is not very helpful, he basically rejected everything we have been asking for. For example we asked if we can check in slightly earlier than 3pm if there is no guest before us, the answer is no. There is absolutely no reception in the camping area. When we try to borrow WiFi to give family a quick update, the answer is NO. The site to bathroom is 10min walk, it is fine during the day, but absolutely terrifying if you need to go at night! I have never met an owner that is so unhelpful.
