Hunter Valley
Overview
TimberNook Hunter Valley is located at 957 Tocal Road, Paterson, NSW in the Dungog Shire, on the grounds of the heritage-listed Tocal Homestead. Prior to 1822 the area was part of the lands of the Gringai Clan of the Wonnerua people and used as a camp site. Tocal is derived from Koori language meaning 'Ducks Aplenty'. The grounds are set among magnificent fig trees overlooking the Tocal lagoon, with the Paterson River beyond. We have access to old barns, timber fenced paddocks, offering endless opportunities for wonder, excitement and the unexpected!

Village Folks - TimberNook Tri-County
reviewed by SymonsFam6108
What an absolutely amazing experience for my kids (ages 7 and 11)! They were able to really dive into the depths of their imagination and were encouraged to be as creative as they’d like. I thoroughly enjoyed the daily emails including pictures and quotes from the day, it was so fun going through them with the kids and hearing all about it- it truly made me feel like I was able to experience it alongside them! Overall wonderful program that allows kids to be KIDS! I will recommend to everyone!

Village Folks - TimberNook Tri-County
reviewed by Tracicutler
As an elementary education teacher of 20 years and mother of 3 school age children that have attended Timbernook, I highly recommend this program! My children asked after day 1 why they can’t do the camp all summer. I thought they’d change their minds after a few days but, at the last day, it was the same response. My kids love Timbernook and each day can’t stop talking about what they did, friends they made, and future ideas they came up with during camp as well that they want to put into motion. Great program!

Storybook - TimberNook Tri-County
reviewed by ErinBowden
My kids love TimberNook! Each day the kids had opportunities to make a different storybook come to life in their cute, imaginative ways. Strega Nona’s pasta, Walter the Baker’s bakery, making mailboxes and deliveries, banking with walnuts, pinecones, and gems found in the forest. They loved to play in the creek, climb, get messy, and make friends.

Storybook - TimberNook Tri-County

Absolutely love everything about this camp! Where kids just get to be kids, explore nature, and have fun. The Storybook week was cute and gave the kids a different theme in the woods each day. Will definitely be back.
