"Willowbank" is a stunning 252 acre property located in the picturesque Karuah River valley with 1km of river frontage. The property has been in our family for 4 generations, being bought by Ian's great grandfather in the 1920's. We cater for guests that are looking to get back to nature and enjoy the great outdoors without feeling overcrowded! We want our guests to be happy and have the best experience possible. Why not follow us on Facebook @Willowbank Hipcamp and see what is happening on the farm and in our community! Located only 8 minutes drive from the historical town of Stroud which was settled by the AA Company in the 1820's as a food growing area. There are still many beautiful buildings from that period to explore. A dairy farm for many years, we switched over to beef around 15 years ago. Currently we run around 120 head of Angus and mixed breed cattle. Within 3 hours drive of Sydney and around an hour from the Barrington National Parks, Newcastle, Maitland, Forster and Nelson Bay, it makes it the perfect destination for a weekend getaway! We are offering 5 beautiful, partly shaded, camping sites along the pristine Upper Karuah River. All sites are separated for privacy and are all right on the edge of the river. You may get a visit from our horses, Dolly and Banjo and the cows and calves! Plenty of opportunities for bird watching, hiking, swimming, kayaking, fishing (in summer), star gazing or just relaxing. All sites are site only and no toilet or shower facilities are provided. You will need to bring your own camping toilet or self contained caravan/ camper (dump point is located in Stroud township) We hope to make your stay a pleasurable one with many happy memories made. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. ***sorry no parties allowed*** Your hosts, Jo and Ian.

The Paperbarks

We totally enjoyed our stay at Paperbarks. The campsite was very well maintained and right on the banks of the river. The river was easily accessible and very picturesque. Joanne and Ian were the perfect hosts - even supplying some fresh picked chokos to cook on the bbq. We couldn’t ask for anything more. Terry and Michelle.

Riverview

We had such a great time at Willowbank, and Joanne and Ian were so lovely!! Great communication and nothing was a problem. The privacy was great as was river access, and we had lots of peace and quiet for the duration of the stay. There is also phone reception for any emergencies but didn’t need it. We also got a tour of the other sites as we will definitely be back! Thanks guys for such a great experience… M & K xoxo

She Oaks

We had a great stay at Willowbank, on the Sheoak site. Very picturesque, relaxing and enjoyable place to be. We especially enjoyed the river to swim in and also watching the cattle farm activity. Jo and Ian are also very friendly and welcoming hosts. We couldn't have asked for a better time.

Long Flat

What a beautiful camp site! The lawns are so well kept, soft and perfect for little ones to run all over. The river is fresh and clean and flowing beautifully to keep you cool in the hot evenings. The shade under the trees is refreshing and fun to explore with the kids. Joanna was very friendly and helpful, checking in to make sure we didn’t need anything. A great family spot to camp!
