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.

We stayed in our Campervan. Lovely spot in a great location. Short drive away from Nelson’s Bay & Anna Bay. The facilities were incredibly clean.

What a beautiful little place to camp for the night! Perfect little spot if you have a furry friend. Toilet and shower were very clean. spent the afternoon by the fire. There’s designated fire pits, just need to bring your own wood. This place is awesome if you didn’t have chairs as you can use the camp kitchen with chairs, sink, microwave etc. Overall would recommend this spot if you have a dog and wanting a quiet place to camp and explore nelson bay! Thank you for having us!

Great location and Louise is lovely. She has set up a great spot with access to all you could possible need. Incuding a hot shower, flushing toilet, covered, communal firepit, even a microwave. Very quiet spot with enough room between sites, close to tidal waters.

My partner and I loved our stay on Abobstys farm, beautifully kept land. So private and peaceful! Louise was there to greet us and explain where everything is and how everything worked. Would definitely stay again and recommend to all!
