Hi Hipcampers! Please read to the end, including property rules, before booking. Thank you :)
If you need to take a break from the hustle and bustle of civilisation this is the place for you! Our little valley is located 90 minutes from either Sydney or Newcastle, but feels a million miles away. We are nestled in the middle of lush rainforest, at the meeting of two ever flowing creeks. The Great North Walk is literally on our doorstep, and a lovely 2.5 hour walk loops around the property through the surrounding National Park. We have 2 paddocks available for campers to enjoy, as well as our "TajMaPoo" comprised of 5 compost toilets and 5 showers (4 hot, 1 cold). We also have a large rustic shelter with lounges which acts as a wonderful communal gathering space. We absolutely love sharing this piece of paradise with any nature lovers who are respectful and kind to this pristine environment we are lucky to call home.
* It does not matter which paddock you book ('main' or 'quiet'), price is the same and we are happy for you to camp in whichever one you prefer when you get here.
By booking you agree to adhere to the following rules:
- PEACE & QUIET: Please absolutely no loud parties, no amplified music past 9pm, and no excessive drinking. The atmosphere we like to cultivate here is one of quiet enjoyment of nature and community :)
- LEAVE NO TRACE: anything you bring in you must bring out. This includes all rubbish, which must be taken home or to a public bin, but NEVER placed in any of the bins along our road
- DRIVE SLOW on the road in and out of the property, taking extra caution around horses and any pedestrians or cyclists during the day, and wildlife at night.
- TOILET ETIQUETTE: please treat the toilets/showers with care and respect. If you make a mess clean it up, and leave the space ready for the next person to relax and enjoy their poo with a view :)
- DOGS: All dogs must be friendly (to people/strangers, children and other dogs). Dogs must remain in owners eye-sight and under their control at all times. All poos in open grassy areas must be picked up. And super important - please ensure all dogs are treated for ticks, as they can be lethal for our beloved canines.
- FIRES: only in above ground receptacles that do not affect the grass. There are two communal fire circles already set up in the main paddock, which you are welcome to use. Please do not leave any metal or rubbish in communal fires. BYO firewood.
