I have a small private property with grass campsites by a tidal outlet to Port Stephens harbour. We do not offer secluded camp sites away from other people on large acreage. You can spend your days fishing, kayaking or enjoying Nelson Bay and surrounding areas and beaches which are only 15 minutes away. Guests have the use of a retreat shelter/fire place/BBQ area and wifi. Campers must try to be self contained bringing their own water, toilet and shower. Sorry, no caravans over 20ft. Suite solo travellers, couples wanting a quiet weekend and LGBT friendly. We do have available tank, rain water for drinking, a toilet and hot shower, microwave and free wifi available for those who cannot be totally self contained. Yes there are mozzies because you are near water, so bring repellent. Pets are welcome but must stay on a leash throughout your stay. Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times. Please BYO firewood. Fires are only permitted when there are no fire restrictions and in the designated fire pit and designated fire pit area for your own fire pit. Children 16 & under stay for free. Please notify host if you are bringing children. Please be careful and supervise young children near the water.

Louise has a very nice camping area away from her house, near the creek. We enjoyed being surrounded by nature, and the peace and quiet. Louise is a great host, her facilities a what you need. We would happily stay here again.

We stayed two nights at Abstoby’s and had a great time. Our host, Louise was accessible and incredibly helpful. She provided everything we needed during our stay including a clean toilet and shower, washing up sink, kettle, microwave, and fresh water. The property was lovely and clean nestled right up against the bush a surrounded by marshlands. Not to mention we were only 5 minutes drive from a beautiful stretch of beach. We would definitely stay again, and recommend to others. 😊🏕️

We stayed one night at Louise’s site on our way back from Port Macquarie. Great location. Very peaceful and quiet, but still close to all the main attractions and beaches around port stephens. Good Amenities hot showers and flushing toilets, very clean. Kept well. Communal kitchen area with power outlets to re-charge phone, batteries etc. Would recommend if looking for somewhere to stop off on your journey.
