The Land Hideaway is a private location on the edge of the Chichester State Forest on Jerusalem Creek, once called Munduk by the traditional indigenous Gringai. The Land has around four acres cleared for camping with access to an undercover 6x6m tea house and a long drop loo. There is access to (limited) power and lighting. For those looking for a nature retreat, a well constructed short walk will put you into Jerusalem Creek with its waterfalls pools and cascades. It’s a special treat hearing the local lyrebirds calling in the surrounding gullies. Deep pools for swimming or sliding on the rock shelf into streams. Plenty to explore, a short drive will take you into Jerusalem National Park and the Chichester State Forest l if you’re into biking it’s 18km to the Ride Dungog flow tracks and 20 km to the classic town of Dungog . Tired punters can settle around a fire pit and dine alfresco in the Tea House. There’s much to enjoy and it’s only a bit over an hour from Newcastle. Enjoy the privacy of the campground to yourself or with your friends.Each individual booking will have the 40 acres to themselves for the duration of the stay. Entire open area can be utilised, with access to a fire pit for warmth and cooking, an undercover tea house structure with power and lighting, water from the tank and a drop toilet. We have accommodated vehicles such as any 2WD car, Mercedes Sprinter and 4WD with toy hauler attached to give an idea of accessibility. Keep in mind it's an unsealed road so wet weather can cause issues if inexperienced. Firewood available for purchase per bag

Great spot for small or large group
A perfect campsite for a weekend away! We had a large group of 17 people and there was plenty of space to hang around. The tea room is a great hang out spot and place to sit as a group. Bruce was very helpful and easy to communicate with. Some leeches out and about but it’s that time of the year and we had no issues. Would definitely book the site again.

We had a great time, the undercover area was fantastic and there was plenty of seating so we didnt use any of our own chairs, the BBQ was big enough to cook on for everyone. We were grateful there was some cutlery as we forgot ours. We all had so much fun riding the track and there was good riding for the kids and we could watch them from the undercover area. If it is raining we recommend taking extra salt for leeches, even though there is salt left at the shed. There were a couple of bins with liners which made it really easy to take our rubbish home. Bruce the host was helpful and answered any questions fast. Next time we visit i would like to look for the fossil in the creek bed. I enjoyed reading the visitors info book :)
