NSW Hipcamp Riverside Camping Dungog

How's the serenity? What a lovely find not far from Sydney on an old dairy farm property near Dungog. Contact is via Hipcamp under the name of DUNGOG HORSESHOE CAMP. There are a couple of areas you can camp be it by the riverside, cleared land, under a stunning tree or in an enchanted shaded area of the property near the river. We went in winter which we loved but in the heat of summer, the running river alongside your camp would be the ideal place to cool off. The property is just a short time from Dungog which offers shops, pubs, brewery, places to eat. The owners are lovely and most welcoming, we will definitely head back there one day.

Thanks for this, my grandson and I will be thete in early January. We've been going there for a few years, it's just "fantastic"

[@gibbosroadtripadventures]

@@davidbulbert7765 lovely people who own it as well. It’s nice to have somewhere to cool off in summer.

Loving this. I have been watching nearly all day. Had to take my blood pressure in a couple. You both are so wonderful together. So adventurous 😁💜💙

Wow Dungog, went there in 83 when my Dad worked of the Dam there. Camp spot looks amazing. Hipcamp is the way to go.

[@gibbosroadtripadventures]

There's definitely some gems with Hipcamp and it's a great way to avoid the camping crowds.

[@flav7634]

@gibbosroadtripadventures hope to see you when I find good land to set up for hipcamp lifestyle travellers.

What a beautiful place. You show us many hidden gems. Thanks 😊

[@gibbosroadtripadventures]

Thanks Sarah, in hindsight I could have culled this episode more but we were just so thrilled with the location. So many more gems to discover & share.

Carp is very nice from fresh water like this.

[@gibbosroadtripadventures]

@@catherineallison3475 oh really, how do you cook it?

[@ozziekate07]

wow what a pretty town Dungog is ❤ loving your recipes , there was a small clip background music of a lady singing was that you ? if so you have a beautiful voice

[@gibbosroadtripadventures]

@@ozziekate07 oh wow thank you. I might have to watch this again to identify the voice. 🤔

[@raynewman4904]

Hey guys I might be too early but that cooker looks good. I've only got a thousand cooking apparatuses. You one might be a game changer or a divorse maker.

[@gibbosroadtripadventures]

Haha I hope not a divorce maker Ray. As long as an apparatus gives you the joy to cook, I think it’s worth it. 🤣

[@shaneward4461]

thanks for the great info, looks a lovely area.

[@gibbosroadtripadventures]

It was a lovely spot and the owners were so nice and accommodating. We totally recommend this Hipcamp. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@dianesoper708]

At least Dungog is close for me. 😃

[@gibbosroadtripadventures]

@@dianesoper708 not too far for us as well and a lovely humble location.

[@dianesoper708]

@@gibbosroadtripadventures my GG Grandfather David Sean came from Scotland, bought over by Bishop Tyrell to be a headmaster or teacher at Dungog. I still have to get myself to the museum to see if they have records.

[@gibbosroadtripadventures]

@@dianesoper708 how amazing is that. I hope you do discover your history. Dungog is a lovely NSW gem.

[@peneloperobertson2803]

What site did you have? Looked amazing.

[@gibbosroadtripadventures]

@@peneloperobertson2803 we were on a private riverside site, just ask the owner when you book via Hipcamp. They don’t allow too many groups at one time, so it’s perfect if you don’t like to be around others when you camp. We loved it.

[@dianesoper708]

Have you got those water shoes from Big W to walk in the river in the rocks. So much easier

[@gibbosroadtripadventures]

Hi Diane, I just noticed this message, apologies for the late response. I have a pair of waterproof sneakers we bought from BCF (from memory) and they have been excellent. In WA my rock shoes saved me climbing gorges, then wadding through water to get to the next point. Without something on my feet, I think I'm a big wuss because my feet seem to be so sensitive so with rock shoes I feel I can go anywhere and not worry about what I'm treading on. Cheers Marg

[@DarrylScotman]

Hi You seem to do a lot of off grid camping so what do you have power wise

[@gibbosroadtripadventures]

Hi There, in answer to your question, we have 2x120 ah, AGM batteries, 200w rooftop solar panel and occasionally use a 150w portable solar panel. We also have a 2000w inverter for Marg’s Frozen Margaritas & for charging camera gear. Cheers Steve
