    Cedar Creek Farm is a hidden oasis nestled along the banks of Cedar Brush Creek, right on the Great North Walk. Spanning over 100 acres of lush pastures and rainforest, it offers private, spacious campsites perfect for a peaceful getaway. The creek boasts a 20-foot deep swimming hole, ideal for cooling off on warm days, and is teeming with bass for some catch-and-release fishing—or perhaps a BBQ, though the fish may prefer the former! Bordering the Watagan and Olney State Forests, the farm is close to mountain and dirt bike trails, Treetops Adventure Park, Amazement Farm, and horse riding spots. It's a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, artists, photographers, or anyone in need of a nature escape. Keep your eyes peeled—you might even spot a platypus! And with its location just 1 hour and 30 minutes from both Sydney (city) and Newcastle, it’s an easy retreat that feels worlds away. Best of all, Cedar Creek Farm is pet-friendly! To ensure your stay is as peaceful as possible, we only take one booking at a time, guaranteeing complete privacy.Nestled within the serene landscape of a small working cattle farm, Cedar Brush Farm offers a peaceful retreat bordered by wooded hills and the gentle flow of the Cedar Brush River. This idyllic campsite promises a private and picturesque riverside getaway, all within the Sydney Basin. To ensure your stay is undisturbed, the campsite is fenced off from the farm’s curious cows, who might otherwise wander over for a friendly nudge against your tent. Here, you’ll find everything you need for a cozy escape: a spacious fire pit with firewood provided, a picnic table, chairs, and ample room to craft your perfect weekend retreat. There is no toilet, so we ask guests to be self sufficient and bring their own portaloo. The river teems with bass during the warmer months, while at dawn or dusk, if you remain still enough, you may spot the elusive platypus working the reed beds of the billabong.

    Bass Billabong offers an idyllic escape by a cool river, surrounded by lush greenery. Suzy, the host, is consistently praised for her warm hospitality. Visitors enjoy the privacy, the wildlife sightings like deer and platypus, and the chance to unwind with activities such as swimming and fishing. While most feedback is overwhelmingly positive, those with larger caravans find access slightly challenging.

    What a beautiful location to camp at! Set up peacefully next to the beautiful Cedar Creek that has bass to catch. Beautiful cattle on the field over curiously watching some mornings before moving on with their grazing. Wonderful wildlife as well from amazing birds to kangaroos and deer!
