Dungog Horseshoe Camp

There Nights Away for a Recharge

What a wonderful spot. It was great to speak with Michael ahead of our trip, and then to be greeted then guided to our spot. Travelling solo (with my dog😊) it’s always important for me to feel comfortable with the location and with the hosts and Horseshoe was perfect. My dog and I enjoyed the privacy of our spot and being able to duck down to the river to explore or have a quick dip (the dog, not me 😜). The one day of misty drizzle we had on our three night stay didn’t put a damper on things - hanging out in the tent watching the fog over the river and fields beyond really enforced the recharge we came here for. Thank you, Michael. I’ll definitely be putting Horseshoe on my list of spots to return to.

Dungog Horseshoe Camp

The property was secluded and emerald green after recent rain. We had a site a very short stroll to the river. It’s close to Dungog, which hasn’t changed much since the 90s. We brought our own fire pit and sat around the fire at night admiring the stars shining like diamonds on black velvet . We slept v well. I’d highly recommend Michael’s property. Best you are fully equipped with own toilet and shower .

A lovely spot right by the river. There was another camper close by when we were there but it was secluded enough we didn't notice them much at all.

Happy campers! ⛺️

This hip camp was incredibly beautiful! Beautiful river wrapping around the property with turtles and platypus. Gorgeous forest 🌳 - birdsong 🐦 in the morning and frogs 🐸 at night. Amazing stars ✨. Ten minutes to Dungog - a sweet little town with everything you need - the kids loved the pump track and mountain bike park. Dump point and bins at the Showground. Michael was a very kind and considerate host - we very much enjoyed our chats. We will be back!
