Hillside camping offers a spacious and welcoming environment, where the host, Dawn, stands out for her hospitality. Campers appreciate the clean and functional amenities, with highlights including the outdoor shower and the friendly atmosphere that encourages socializing. The location is convenient for accessing Tamworth, making it a favorite during busy times like the music festival. However, some reviewers noted that the facilities can become overwhelmed during peak periods, and road noise might be a concern for those seeking a quieter retreat.

We loved our stay at Hillside camping. Dawn was a great host and it was handy to have the amenities. Dawn even took us for a drive around her farm to see all her horses which my daughter loved.
