Nomadic camping

Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

Caravans and RV's that are fully self contained eg: has a toilet are welcome. Sorry no tents. If you could please let us know your ETA that would be very much appreciated. We are only 10-15 mins to Nelson Bay centre. Beaches are just down the road also which includes Birubi Beach which goes all the way to Stockton and many more near by. Right next door is Murrays Brewery and Sunset in the Vines, very handy to be able to walk next door (a really short walk) and have dinner and a drink. Shark and Ray Centre is 10 mins drive also and then there is the Butterfly House and Shark and Ray Rescue Centre just behind us on Marsh Road. Whilst we offer a space on our front area next to the dam, it is only a small area but plenty of room for a large van or RV with room to put out your awning provided you park where we suggest. We supply a fire pit and wood if you would like, please let us know on arrival or before you arrive so we can have it ready, (this in not an extra it is included in the price). We can offer electricity for an extra cost of $10 per night if needed. The main house is at the top of the circular drive way, you will be camping (Approx 50 m from the house). Pictures show this. We endeavour to appreciate your privacy as much as possible.Kez and Butch Off-Grid Bush Stay caters for Fully Self-Contained Caravans, Motorhomes and RV setups ONLY. That means if you don't have your own toilet facilities, we are not the place for you. We would appreciate if you include what type of van your in. We are located in the beautiful Port Stephens Area, adjoining the National Park and Murrays Brewery and Sunset in the Vines Winery with Restaurant right next door, just 3-5 mins walk. Just a short drive to main beaches, restaurants and boat ramps. We are the perfect location for peaceful serenity, dam views, listen to the native wildlife, and all the while optimally positioned in the Port Stephens Peninsula off the main IN-ROAD Nelson Bay Road, but without the high holiday site prices. Pull up and open your awning/set up onto the properties dam... and hello relaxation central. The site has: - a nice outlook and lush grass for your enjoyment - partly sun and part shade, with north aspect - overlook the dam. Try your lucky at catching yabbies or tadpoles in the dam. Small charge for trap hire. - cater for a single caravan/Motorhome/ RV or Campervan per site, (MUST HAVE A TOILET) - The site is set at the other end of the circular driveway of the main house and overlooking the dam. (Please see photos). - Site is provided with stable graded drive access and easy access - A fire pit is available outside of Fire Ban seasons. Timber supplied. Must take your rubbish away with you. WE REQUEST that you follow local rules and regulations in particular with regard to FIRES. BASIC COMMON SENSE IS ALL WE ASK Nearby attractions include Mt Tomaree Walk for those fit enough will love the panoramic views at the top of our stunning Port Stephens area (20mins drive). The Australian Shark and Ray Rescue Centre on Marsh Road and Go Karts Go (are only 2 minutes drive). Go an experience the beautiful local beaches of Birubi and One Mile Beach. Anna Bay has a new Skate park with bbq facilities. The Koala Rescue Sanctuary at One Mile, Quad Biking and Camel Rides are just a few other things near by (10mins drive).

Stayed a week. Convenient location and hosts welcoming. Firewood and fireplace waiting on arrival, though we never took up the pleasure. Night time can be a challenge if you are a light sleeper, as the road noise can get quite loud. Earplugs from Bunnings worked a treat.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kerry-ann and Butches. Was nice being a single site and they were accommodating offering us power and water and provided free firewood. Close to winery and brewery and short drive to beaches. Would definitely stay again.

Super friendly and welcoming! Easy to find and a great dinner spot next door. The availability to add power too was an added bonus, would recommend! There were loads of little birds around the pond in the morning too, very cute
