The property is 20 min walk to the train station, and the local pub, post office, and shops are just a 7-minute drive away. There is so much to delight kids here. They can feed the goats, sheep, ducks, pigs, chooks, turkeys, and guinea pigs! They can meet Brownie the horse, help care for the baby chicks, and hunt for chook eggs! They can feed the baby ducks and turkeys and socialize with the geese! We have various equipment you can hire, including golf clubs, bbq, chairs and tables, and push bikes. For the family we can organize coits (a traditional Aussie hoop game) and a True Blue Aussie damper or doughboys for you to cook in the fire (all you need to bring is some flour). Firewood can be supplied by arrangement. Please go to YouTube and search "Deans Green Paddock" for a walkthrough. We look forward to welcoming you soon!

    Valley View Farm, Hunter Valley

    9 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Gungal, NSW
    Valley View Farm is located in the beautiful upper Hunter Valley - home of racehorses and wineries. We are spread out over 40 acres, set in a picturesque 600-acre valley, with Mount Dangar dominating the skyline. Our property is set on top of a huge inland sandbank/cliff, with deep gorges on two sides, which gives amazing valley views. Due to these cliffs, our property is not suitable for groups with small children, and older children must be supervised at all times. The valley is service by a dirt Crown road, snaking through private land, this acts as an excellent walking track with minimal traffic, there is also exploring through the native bush up in the mountains. Plenty of wildlife abounds, including kangaroos, wombats, lizards, birdlife, and not too many snakes! The property is accessed via a 6km dirt road, off the Golden Highway, with some corrugations. We do recommend SUV or 4WD however others have accessed it via 2WD successfully. I drive my horse float up there all the time, and provided your caravan or car isn't too low clearance, it should be fine. Any concerns, please discuss with us prior to booking. When we've had heavy rain, this will hinder access for 2WD vehicles until the water drains, which it does quickly. For this reason, please keep an eye on the weather on your arrival day. We currently offer 4 camping sites - 2 in our back paddock which are 4WD accessible only, and 2 in our front paddocks, both with easy access to the flushing toilet and one with exclusive use of a large 9x9m shelter. Please see each listing for further details. We look forward to sharing Valley View Farm with you.

    The best camping near Lake Glenbawn State Park guide

    Overview

    About

    Filled with bass and yellow perch, the human-made Lake Glenbawn is considered one of the best freshwater fishing sites in New South Wales. The expansive reservoir is also the perfect spot for other water sports like boating and waterskiing, or simply taking in the stunning lake views from scattered camping sites on the eastern foreshore. Most campers stay at the Lake Glenbawn Reflections Holiday and Caravan Park, where options range from fully equipped cabins and villas to powered caravan sites and unpowered pads right on the beach. The park is a big hit with kids thanks to several playgrounds, a recreation center, and a pool in summer.

    Tips for snagging a campsite

    1. Book your site or cabin in advance online at the Reflections Holiday and Caravan Park website.
    2. Easter weekend and summer holidays are the most crowded times, so book far in advance if you're determined to go then.
    3. A holiday waiting list is available if you don't grab a spot in time.

    When to go

    Spring and autumn bring fewer crowds and ideal weather for lounging by the lakeshore. If visiting in May, head to the nearby village of Scone to catch the annual Scone Horse Festival, featuring a rodeo, carnival, and concerts. Or get into the Scottish spirit at the Aberdeen Highland Games, celebrated each July. 

    Know before you go

    • If you forget something, a kiosk selling basic necessities like fuel and ice is often available on weekends. For more provisions, a well-stocked supermarket is available nearby in Scone. 
    • Be sure to bring a shade structure when camping during summer, as many sites are unshaded. 
    • Pets are allowed at the Reflections Holiday and Caravan Park. Call the park directly to book if you’re planning to bring a canine family member.  
    • Cabins are equipped with towels, linens, and cookware.

    Nearby attractions
