Wootton Arabian Stud Farmstay

A beautiful 90 acre farm in the hills above The Great Lakes (Myall, Smith , Wallis Lakes), 30 mins from Seal Rocks, just 10km off the M1 about 20 minutes from Bulahdelah. Forster is a 45 min drive. Nabiac 20 minutes.

A historic local Dairy Farm that is very well maintained. The horses live in a natural herd environment and wander around amongst the camping sites on this beautiful clean property surrounded by forest. We set you well apart for privacy. You won't see any other camping sites unless you drive past them.

The property offers magnificent views of rolling green hills and ancient trees and a huge dam for floating around on. No street lights means great stars at night. Sit, relax and enjoy the magnificent views or utilise the surrounding forests, beaches, lakes and winery. You'll be camping with the horses who visit your site. Two Dams were stocked with yabbies and fish. Pet pig "Barney Rubble" and ponies  / ducks/ chickens/ talking parrot to entertain little people. Firewood can be supplied at $10 per load. Free for repeat campers.

We limit bookings for your privacy. It's a hilly property so you need adequate power and 4WD to access the higher sites. Message me if any questions about access, particularly after rain. Dogs are welcome and are fine to be off-lead provided they don't chase horses and are friendly. On lead near the house with the free-ranging fowl. Campers should be fully contained. Bring all, take all, no footprint camping.  Local Honey for sale. We look forward to hosting you.

View from DamView2. A small site perfect for one vehicle but will hold RV/s trailers - if the weather is dry!

Charity Creek Retreat

The property was originally the Charity Creek Cattery & Kennels, but has not been used as that for many years. For us the property has become a place to share.

Charity Creek Retreat - Rediscover your Soul!

It's close to many local attractions with the serenity of rural living. The separate bungalow that was the 'Cattery' and now provides quiet, spacious accommodation with  bathroom facilities.

1 Room (Single x 1, Double x 1, King x 1) includes living room, book casing and video facilities.

Separate bathroom area; shower, toilet and basin + towels

Wildlife abounds, plenty of outdoor space, brilliant stars, misty foggy mornings, and plenty of local attractions.

Blueys Beach Farmstayz

*Please note that this is not a working farm. You can pet and interact with the animals (horses, goats and chickens) through the fence, but no feeding, sheering or other activities available. Thank you for your understanding. 

Welcome to Blueys Beach Farmstay!

MerryLegs's Paddock offers fantastic group bookings, perfect for larger groups. Strawberry's paddock is located towards the rear of the property, offering a comfortable spot for those with kids, with easy access to the amenities.

Merrylegs's Paddock is the perfect spot for couples and smaller or larger  groups.

 Merrylegs's is located towards the front of the property, and offers sites for up to 4 guests per site. 

Enjoy lovely grassed areas with ample shade for your camper-van, roof top tent, free standing tent or swag. We have seven  (7) acres of fully fenced grassy paddocks, with mostly shaded open areas. 

We have a 2 night minimum and a 5 night maximum stay at both listings.

We're located very close to Blueys Beach where you can stroll along the shore, go for a swim or help the kids build sandcastles. It’s a flat walk from your campsite, only minutes away along the footpath (approximately 200 metres) to local restaurants, cafes and shops. Those visiting with their furry family member can enjoy the nearest dog friendly beach within council regulated hours just a further 150 metres down the path.

You can enjoy access to flushable toilets x 2  and a singular hot shower and a singular cold shower for those after the beach days, please BYO toiletries. We ask that you place all of your rubbish in the bins provided .. we can take your recyclable cans and bottles for the Earn and Return program. To clarify .. YES we have a garbage bin for general waste only .. no recycling bin.

We allow campfires when it is safe. ALL fires must be contained in a fire pit. Absolutely no fires are to be lit on the open grass.

 WE have fire pits for hire and bagged firewood is available for purchase on site .. all fire pits brought onto the property for use by guests will be subject to the discretion of the property owners. All fires and fire pits must be "OK'd"  with the property owners prior to lighting, what we're looking for is clearance from the ground to the base of the fire pit .. the greater  distance the better. Fires can only be lit in accordance with NSW Rural Fire Services fire restrictions or total fire bans.

 We've recently had multiple patches of our buffalo lawn scorched to beyond charcoal by careless guests .. you must ask the hosts / property owners before lighting any fires .. unnecessary burnt patches of lawn may result in you and your guests leaving!!

We ask you to please note:

 ** UNFORTUNATELY WE DO NOT  TAKE ANY CARAVANS .. HYBRID CARAVANS .. MOTOR HOMES .. RV'S .. FIFTH WHEELER's ..  BUSES INCLUDING MERCEDES SPRINTERS of any size .. mainly the footprint of these types of vehicles is far too great  .. once again we're only a grassy paddock not a caravan park.

 Standard size camper trailers and camper-vans, roof top tents are all completely fine.

If your bus is longer than 4 meters in length, over 2 meters in height and/ or  width with a tare weight of 3 tonne or over SORRY BUT IT IS A NO!!

If your camper trailer is wider than 2.5 meters or longer than 4.5 metres in length inclusive of the drawbar .. SORRY BUT ITS A NO!!

 If you have a Jayco of any description .. regardless of length / width OR what the "registration papers say" .. SORRY BUT IT IS STILL A NO!!

 - If you have solar panels to charge you might have to chase the sun a little, as there are plenty of shaded areas which is perfect come summer.

We do not allow the use of "Slackline or Tightropes" strung between our trees, it causes them to be ringbarked after a prolonged use .. meaning they die in the long run .. rope clotheslines and hamocks perfectly ok on the palms, sheoaks and paperbarks!!

 - Dogs are permitted here however they must be friendly off leash and must NOT chase my pets which include horses, goats , dogs and our pet chooks. 

Please pick up after your pooch .. as a courtesy to other guests and also to us, it doesn't happen in a caravan park .. please do the right thing here!!

 PLEASE ADVISE US UPON BOOKING IF YOU ARE BRINGING A PET/PETS!!

 - There are animals that live here and they occasionally make animal noises. Specifically, we have a pet Rooster called Billy .. he is meticulous at his job of being a rooster and can start very early in the morning 4am-ish!!

 We ask you to please be understanding during your visit, that this is Billy's home and we ask you to PLEASE RETHINK YOUR BOOKING if you feel this might impact on your holiday or your guests holiday.

On arrival, we ask that you stop at the garages at the front of the house to confirm your check-in and get instructions .. PLEASE DO NOT ENTER THE PROPERTY,  prior to letting us know you have arrived.
NO ARRIVALS AFTER 11PM .. during peak periods it impacts greatly on our other onsite guests, we've had too many complications in the past, appologies it simply it doesn't work.

When we have heavy rain, some areas of the property are not car accessible and you may need to walk to some amenities. and keep driving to a minimum.

Upon your booking you will receive a couple of private messages from us .. these will be located in your HipCamp Messages on the App or the website 
they will contain instructions for once you arrive .. PLEASE READ THEM!!
If you have not already, please download the "HipCamp" app it makes communication a lot easier.

 

 We're happy to help if you need more information .. safe travels always!!
