Relax and unwind at our Land For Wildlife property, Melaleuca @ One Mile a boutique hostel and campground set on 6 acres of natural bushland in beautiful Port Stephens and only a 500m walk from the sparkling waters of magnificent One Mile Beach in Boat Harbour. It is located just past Anna Bay village which is 2.5km away and the entrance to Worimi Conservation Lands the largest moving Sand Dune system in the Southern Hemisphere, where you can 4WD, swim, surf, or enjoy a camel or horse ride. We have off-street parking with the car park area alongside the only car-free campground in Port Stephens. A large open grassed area surrounded by large melaleuca trees is perfect for throwing down a swag or setting up a tent for camping. You are not limited to a small site, you can use as much space as you desire, and we ask that guests respect others and give each other some room. In addition to the camping area, there is a small off-street, shaded area for a small number of campervans, there are no powered sites and sorry but we do not take caravans. All guests have access to the facilities including warm showers and toilets, a large Main building housing double kitchens with crockery and cutlery, toasters and kettles. There are indoor and outdoor covered seating areas and a free gas BBQ on the decked area with free Wi-Fi available. The Tomaree Peninsula has 26 beaches with numerous walking trails, including the recently upgraded Tomaree Coastal Walk and plenty of water activities including Dolphin and Whale watching cruises, diving, surfing, kayaking, fishing and snorkelling. Nelson Bay is the main tourist centre with plenty of restaurants and cafes and there are more clubs and food options dotted around the peninsula.

I went there with 9 other people. The location is stunning: it has a sort of "jungle" vibe which really makes you feel out of the world. The facilities are amazing: toilet, huge kitchen and dining with every tool you may need. More than a campsite, it felt like being in an Airbnb and sleeping in a tent in the garden! Really 10/10, top value for the price we paid. The owners were super helpful and chill too. They allowed us to check out later than the 1030 allowed by just saying "of course mate, it's Sunday, take it easy" :) Really really recommended!

On arrival the dogs welcomed us with open paws. We loved being able to pitch the rooftent amongst the trees. The bathroom facilities were very clean and common area kitchen relaxed and inviting. A unique location.
