I spent a couple of nights at the Vineyards Doorstep. You get what's on the brochure ( and I'll come back to this ), I couldn't have had worse weather for camping about 50 mm. Luckily Janette has a lean too at the camping spot and I was able to pitch my tent under that, what a god sent. It made a miserable weekend bearable. Now when I said you get what's on the brochure that means the site and that's basic as advertised, what wasn't basic was the hospitality from Janette and Ted. Wow they went out of there way to help me over the weekend and make sure I was as comfortable as possible. Outstanding is the only word to describe their contribution to my experience. I thoroughly recommend staying here.

Very private camping. Fire pits on site as well as portaloos nearby. Janette was great, she met us at the front gate and guided us through to the back of her property, where we found ourselves with the whole area to ourselves.
I would absolutely stay here again.

Peaceful Offgrid Campsite
32 ft pop-up camper
Exceptionally well maintained property.plenty of open space to find your preferred camp spot be it in the shade or sun.
Well stocked and clean toilet facilities for non self contained campers.
Janette and Ted are most welcoming host making sure your stay is comfortable, firepits are located throughout the camp area & firewood is available onsite for purchase.
It was the perfect location to camp with friends so they could experience and test their van for off grid camping.

The welcoming doorstep!
29 ft travel trailer · With pets
We loved the peace and tranquility of this place. The wide open, well kept and frequently slashed space, surrounded by bushland.
The hosts, Janette and Ted are welcoming and could not do enough to help make your stay on their land and the Hunter Valley any better.
It’s only a 10 minute drive to the first winery.
We would definitely stay again and hope to so so soon.

16 ft pop-up camper
Huge open area which really suited our dogs, they were able to run and play and the neighbouring property with horses was well fenced off which kept both them and the dogs safe.
Plenty of options to orient your caravan for evening or morning sun depending on what you want, and either in shade or away from trees if you prefer that.
Close to all the Hunter Valley has to offer, near a town with an IGA and Bottle-o, you’re never far from necessities but it feels like you’re away from everything.
Lovely sunset and sunrise views, a beautiful pond to visit and a solid walk around the campground area to to stretch you and your pups’ legs.
Good flat site, easy access for 2wd.
We will be back

Camping in the Hunter!
Tent
Janette and Ted were so welcoming and friendly. The area was very spacious with lots of great spots and flat land to pitch a tent. Was in a great location and very easily accessible with my little 2WD. Toilets were easily accessible and clean. We had a great stay and will definitely be returning on our next trip to the Hunter!
