Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.

We are a "farm stay" style camp in an actively managed pine forest located in the middle of the north shore of Port Stephens. There is lots of space for campers so you will have privacy whilst you enjoy your camping adventure.Our property is conveniently located just 5 mins off the Pacific Highway but a world away. You'll be 2 mins away from Pindimar Beach and 11 mins from Bennetts beach and Jimmy's beach. Good fishing pretty much everywhere you can wet a line. We have clean flush toilets and hot showers. The campsite has good Mobile Phone Signal. Free firewood. Each campsite has its own fire pit. Pets are welcome, but please pick up after them. If your dog is on the government list of restricted breeds or on the dangerous dog list please leave at home We have a gentle and well trained German Shepherd who adores kids but she likes to stay inside the house and doesn't wander around the campsites . Important Note: PLEASE PUT OUT YOUR CAMPFIRE WHEN YOU LEAVE YOUR CAMPSITE TO AVOID STARTING A BUSH FIRE. DUE TO A RECENT BAD EXPERIENCE WITH A DRUNK CAMPER WHO THEN ABUSED OTHER CAMPERS., ABSOLUTELY NO "LOUD" MUSIC AFTER 10:00 PM. YOU WILL BE GIVEN TWO WARNINGS. ONE HOUR APART TO TURN THE VOLUME DOWN. IF YOU PERSIST IN BEING A SERIAL PEST, THEN YOU WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE AND THE COPS WILL BE CALLED TO ASSIST EVICTION AND OFFER YOU A ROOM FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT. PLEASE NOTE: 1) We have a maximum of 2 camper trailers or caravans or motorhomes or any combination thereof per site. No limit on number of tents. 2) IF You Have more than 3 vehicles/site please contact host before booking. 3) Depending on the weather on the day, we may have to limit the number of vehicles that can be parked adjacent to your campsite. Please note this property is a working private pine forest. Therefore, as and when the weather is right we could be, logging the forest, milling the logs, or drying the large dimension traditional timber framing lumber. In the near future we will be running sustainable building classes from the property. i.e. showing people how to economically build their own tiny homes using timber sourced from their own land.We are located in the middle of the north shore of Port Stephens. Two hours north of Hornsby or 1 hour north of Newcastle. There is lots of space for campers so you will have privacy whilst you enjoy your camping adventure. Our property is conveniently located just 5 mins off the Pacific Highway but a world away. You'll be 2 mins away from great swimming places and 11 mins from surf beaches. Check out the beach or go kite surfing. Bring your kayak or stand up paddle board. We have drinking water, clean onsite toilets and showers with hot water. Rubbish and recycling facilities are available. Please seperate cans and bottles from everything else. The National Park is about 20 mins from here but you can also take your bike for spin on our local road as it's a dead end road and has no traffic. For those who are into stargazing we have a particularly good location with no light contamination from cities, industry or neighbours. Combined with being on top of a hill we have 180 degree view of the night sky. Bring your telescope and you will be blown away. For down to earth practicalities, it's a quick 8 minute drive to Tea Gardens to Coles and the bottle shops. There is a shop called Solo in the industrial estate that has a reasonable range of camping supplies. Well behaved dogs are welcome. Please pick up after them. If your dog is on the government list of restricted breeds or is listed on the dangerous dog list please leave at home. Free firewood.

Fame Mountain Camp

Great facilities and fantastic view

This is an awesome campground with great views, bathrooms, picnic tables and a plentiful supply of fire wood! The owners were very accommodating, kind and helpful. This was my second time camping here and I can definitely see myself coming back here again. 11/10, I would definitely recommend :)

Our stayed at Mei's was great, Mei was very friendly and accommodating. The views from the property and watching the sunset were a highlight. Plenty of firewood provided and the facilities were clean and in great condition. We would reccomend Mei's stay to anyone.

Fame Mountain Camp

Beautiful camp site. We loved the fire pit and the daily supply of firewood. There’s plenty of room so you don’t feel too close to other campers. John and Mei were lovely and helpful. We hope to be back again one day.

Best hosts I’ve encountered

Absolutely amazing hosts. Best I’ve stayed with yet. So warm and welcoming with great amenities for families and kids, it was the perfect place to bring the little ones. John even let us get photos in his excavator which made my son’s day. Couldn’t recommend them any more. 6 stars.

Camping with views

Great views and awesome fire pits with a healthy supply of firewood included. While there were other campers , everybody was able to be private. Hosts were also super friendly.
