The Freedom Farm has been in our family for nearly 50 years and we know it has a much longer history as a place of gathering, healing, learning and celebration. The spirits are strong here. We have been working the last few years on Rewilding the land and it is the healthiest it has been in my lifetime. Encompassing salt marsh, casuarina forests, open grassland and gumtree groves there is an incredible diversity of species to be found on this relatively small property. Bordered by Mangrove Creek it is protected on all sides by sandstone mountains yet remains sunny and open. A lush and powerful place.

Happy Campers
Gumtree Grove was a great space for our group. We had a mix of group tents and root top campers, and everyone was happy with the layout and how big the space is. Compost toilet had a good set up, the fire pits were ready to go, even with some wood there to utilise. Short walk to "The Beach" where there is sand access to the water, kayaks, surf boards, and all sorts of things to play with which was great. Overall, happy campers!

We recently had a relaxing stay, and Joanna was lovely! The mozzies were a bit annoying, but nothing an insect-repellent can't fix. The river was great, lovely, and warm and we did a little bit of fishing, but it was very muddy. Will happily return :)

Very peaceful and private area to camp. Beautiful river with lots of fish jumping, will bring fishing rods next time. So close to Central Coast and Sydney. Highly recommend.

I recently stayed at this beautiful campsite, and it was truly an outstanding experience. The scenic surroundings added a special touch to our stay. The host played a crucial role in making our trip memorable. They were incredibly helpful and responsive. When unexpected issues arose, such as a dead car battery and the absence of bug spray, the host promptly stepped in, providing a jumpstart for our car and ensuring we had the essentials. Their quick problem-solving not only alleviated our stress but also showcased exceptional hospitality. Overall, a delightful stay thanks to the stunning campsite and the host’s unwavering support.

Johanna was a fantastic host, we enjoyed our stay at her property and learning all about the rewilding and projects happening there. The campsite was private right next to the river. It was a little tricky to access the river from our site due to the tides and the mud but the beach access was a 2 minute walk from the site. No sight of the flies mentioned in other reviews. Lots of kayaks available to use in the river. We will definitely be back to enjoy this gorgeous spot again.
