A beautiful flat grassy bed for your Rv, caravan, campertrailer or tent awaits you at Kintelliko. Kintelliko means “to laugh” in the local Awabakal language and we hope to share our joy of living on this beautiful acreage nestled into 100 acres of bushland - yet only 5 minutes to the beach, lake and shops. Your fully powered site has everything you could need. An environmentally friendly compost toilet (The brush tail possum sometimes decides it’s nice there), a quaint outdoor hot shower made from a huge sculpture, a rustic outdoor kitchen with BBQ and stainless steel benches (it’s out in the open - water from the tap goes into the garden). We try to make our spaces consistently inviting for birds and wildlife as well as humans. Here's a list of nearby things to do! - Redhead Beach (~5 mins) - Lake Macquarie (~5 mins) -Naru lagoon swimming (~15 mins) -Fernleigh track (~5 mins) - Green Point Walking track (~7 mins)

Rustic camping
The camp site is in a beautiful area on a lovely property. The site is very rustic and alternative and suitable for a more relaxed easy type of camping. The amenities are interesting and camp kitchen needs a bit of TLC. It is easy to access and very peaceful.

Return to nature
Tereasa’s camp site was a real highlight for us. Even though she wasn’t there to welcome us, she called in advance to give me directions and even sent a video. The site was powered which was great. Outstanding was the shower which is so beautifully decorated. It really makes you feel like showering in the forest. There were a few other people on the ground but they were friendly and not too noisy. We would definitely come back when going back to this area.

The camping is great and very peaceful, so close to the nature. Only the bathrooms need more cleaning.

Totally TENTacular!
Nice spot, plenty to do in the area
Lovely site, very scenic at night with all the lights above the campsite and in between the tropical plants. Plenty of great things to visit in the area, including a fabulous coffee roastery, Hunter Wetlands Centre, or Red Head Beach / lookout. Could do with better maintenance though (removing clutter and unused trailers, maintain the BBQ / sink area). Also, a few things in the listing seemed private (trampoline, property's bushland) so I think shouldn't be advertised. Also, not sure if water via garden hose should be advertised as drinking. Thanks very much for sharing your property, we had a great time despite the dim weather! :)

Van Wonderland has great potential
Surrounded by beautiful bushland and bellbirds...but also lots of junk which really detracted from the ambience. A big working-bee to at least screen the old caravans, plane-cabin and golf buggy or better yet get rid of these eye-sores would be advisable. I'm sure the hostess is busy, but perhaps she could offer travellers a discount until the site is up to a neat and tidy standard? The property is in a really good area surrounded by lovely homes. It is only a few minutes drive to the glorious Redhead beach.
