I have a small private property with grass campsites by a tidal outlet to Port Stephens harbour. We do not offer secluded camp sites away from other people on large acreage. You can spend your days fishing, kayaking or enjoying Nelson Bay and surrounding areas and beaches which are only 15 minutes away. Guests have the use of a retreat shelter/fire place/BBQ area and wifi. Campers must try to be self contained bringing their own water, toilet and shower. Sorry, no caravans over 20ft. Suite solo travellers, couples wanting a quiet weekend and LGBT friendly. We do have available tank, rain water for drinking, a toilet and hot shower, microwave and free wifi available for those who cannot be totally self contained. Yes there are mozzies because you are near water, so bring repellent. Pets are welcome but must stay on a leash throughout your stay. Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times. Please BYO firewood. Fires are only permitted when there are no fire restrictions and in the designated fire pit and designated fire pit area for your own fire pit. Children 16 & under stay for free. Please notify host if you are bringing children. Please be careful and supervise young children near the water.

Easy, very convenient location. Cute and peaceful when Port Stephen’s is quite busy. Few campers with space. Very clean bathrooms

Nice and peaceful spot beside the water. Great to be able to have a fire, and was surprised that there were very little mozzies about. Nice and close to Anna Bay. Would recommend it.

Full Moon Over The Mangroves
Louise was an excellent host. We enjoyed full moons over the mangroves. The facilities and property were very well presented. There was a spare fire pit for us to use to enjoy a fire. Great location.

The property is nice and clean, facilities are good. I arrived in the dark and found it a bit hard to locate the entry in the dark.
