Amazing night skies

Great spot on the hill. Very quiet and amazing views. The sky at night is amazing and the sunset over the hills just beautiful. Communication with Brad was great. Very easy. The place has a great clean compost toilet as well. Lovely spot.

Beautiful spot!

Tent · Group trip

We loved this campsite! The location was amazing, with the most beautiful sunset. The owner had prepared a lovely area with fairy lights and wooden blocks to sit around the campfire. We briefly met the owner the next day and he was super friendly. It was great hearing his plans for the land and he was even building a future toilet shed with a handsaw! He recommended us to cool down in the local river, which was a lovely walk. We saw some awesome wildlife, an echidna and diamond python❤️ Also don’t forget to turn off the fairy lights and enjoy the beautiful stars at night, stunning! We even experienced a meteorite hitting the atmosphere! We will definitely come back🤙🏼

Gem!

Tent

What a top spot! Bradley was a great host. Super responsive & accommodating. His place is a little gem not far out of dungog, one of the prettiest towns in the Hunter. Make sure you’re set up before sunset so you can kick back and enjoy the 10/10 views. FYI I did not have a 4WD and found the driveway easy.

Great spot for Dungog bike riding

18 ft pop-up camper · With kids

This was an excellent camping spot! Nice flat grassy area with plenty of room. The fire set up is great with some nice ‘cafe lights’ surrounding it. Great to watch the sunset. Beautiful view over the farmland and river. Heaps of flat space for the kids to safely run around/play soccer. Brad’s property is right on the Fosterton Rd cycle loop making it a perfect spot for our weekend bike ride. Would love to visit again.

Amazing Views. 4WD essential.

26 ft pop-up camper · With pets

4WD is a MUST for this property. We arrived after some rain and unfortunately got stuck on the steep driveway. Even if we weren’t pulling a camper, I don’t think a AWD vehicle would work for this property - esp. after the rain. The info does say 4WD recommended - our fault for not seeing it! But the owner Brad, was an absolute superstar. He came from over an hour away and tried to get us unstuck. We unfortunately couldn’t get out, and Brad gave us a ride to Dungog where we stayed the night. He then returned the next day to help us again. Luckily we found a local farmer with a tractor that was able to get us out. Shame though, cause the view from this property is to die for! While we were sitting waiting for a rescue, we just sat staring at the sun setting over the hills/valley and it was gorgeous. So highly recommend for anyone with a 4WD. And a BIG shout out to Brad - most hosts would not have gone so far out of their way to help us, after we fully should have seen 4WD recommended - or his email warning about the rains and the steep hill. He went above and beyond what any host normally would have.

We absolutely loved our time camping in this spot with the rolling hills, misty mornings and peaceful country stillness. Brad was a great host and it was a perfect spot for star gazing, and staring into the fire. We loved swimming in the Williams River nearby and had a drive north from Dungog into the forest. Had a great coffee at the Dungog Trading Post too! Definitely recommend.
