*****No toilet or shower available at this listing. You must bring your own. PLEASE BE AWARE ENTRY TO THE PROPERTY IS STEEP. Entry is not ideal for large caravans or campervans. ***** We do not allow fires at the campsite between the 1st of October and the 1st of March. We apologise for any inconvenience to this rule. La Cascina is a small property on a hill surrounded by trees and bushland. There are two main camping areas which would suite tent and small to medium van/car camping. There is access to neighbouring bushland with nice short walks available in the area. Only 20 minutes by car to Newcastle CBD, 10 minutes by car to Redhead Beach and 5 minutes by car to Lake Macquarie. La Cascina is a great spot to stop overnight on a road trip or to get away for the weekend to relax. We have no toilets so please bring your own. The access to the property is a steep sealed driveway. Site 1 is an open site with plenty of shade. The area is flat. More suited to larger camping setups. This site is less private. There is vision of the neighbouring property and an overflow campsite 50 meters away. Site 2 is a more uneven surface area which is better for smaller vans and tents. Redhead Beach is the closest dog beach 10 minutes by car. Croudace Bay is a dog park on the lake which is 5 minutes by car. This is a family owned acreage that brings the best parts of environmental living with the benefits of being close to the coast and a city. A very long time ago it was the site of a quarry. The nature has returned and we are left with a beautiful forested acreage.

The campsite offers a peaceful and secluded retreat, nestled in the bush yet conveniently close to Newcastle. It's a fantastic spot for those who appreciate privacy, with guests noting the tranquility and beauty of the natural surroundings. There is easy access to trails and proximity to the lake, making it ideal for both relaxation and exploration. However, visitors have mentioned the presence of mosquitoes, so it's wise to be prepared for that.

Site 2 - La Cascina

Beautiful and peaceful camp site. Had a really relaxing time. Hidden in the bush at Floraville you didn’t realise you were still in the city of Newcastle. Great escape for a weekend to recharge.

Site 2 - La Cascina

Site 2 was secluded, shady and very. It had a council reserve witb trails at one end of the site. Perfect for the doggos to have a sniff around. It was a very hot day so the shade was welcome and so was the option to grab some extra water.
