The Wine Bar

Wine is available inside from 10am and to take home from 12pm (with food) daily.

We offer lo-fi, seasonal and small batch wines from makers we’ve met or deeply considered.

FYI: we also pour some mean cocktails, crack open craft beers and home tasty botanical spirits.

Your wine journeys tell a tale. It champions creators and landscapes. It speaks volumes about its makers. About the season. About the process.

So that you know it’ll be a mighty drop even before it’s uncorked.

Come afternoon and Camp Grounds turns into a swish dinner party scene.

The dishes are considered. Simple. And delightfully camp. The type of food that celebrates a flavoursome anchovy and makes way for meaty field mushrooms.

Think: day camp, but elevated.

Where everything on your fork has been pieced together thoughtfully, and you can basically taste that care.

All in a setting that hums with connection.

Our signature sip-sip events invite you into the wine bar for exclusive experiences.

Think: the first look at the latest drop. A taste of the menu’s next launch. Fresh local talent debuting their tunes.

Anything can happen after dark at camp.

It’s festoon light-lit, sound-tracked by smooth beats and the tablescape’s scattered with vintage coasters. Think: a 70s dinner party with a vibe unique to the night.

We invite intimate catchups, small adults-only gatherings and lively events into our space. Book launches, private parties and work-do’s, we’re looking at you.

This is the vibe-y place to host your next hurrah and we’d be stoked to help you have a hoot!

With catering and drinks packages available, enquire about our private bookings available any day 4-10pm.

Wine Bar Sippers Say

Had a lovely dinner out at Campgrounds on a Saturday night. Most enjoyable dinner we've had out in Tamworth in years. Great food, small menu, friendly staff who knew everything about the food and drinks. Excellent cocktails (most important). Look forward to being back!

Just passed through Tamworth needing a little pick-me-up for our big drive and this sweet cafe absolutely delivered. Soy latte was delicious, decor I’m still thinking about (big cozy vintage situation), and super nice humans working there. Walked away thinking maybe I should move to Tamworth so I could be a regular ✨

Love this local café and wine bar! We went to their Narong and Majama Wines take over night and it was so good. Amazing flavours and such a fun atmosphere. We’ve also been to their recent Italian night, which was just as great. The food is always spot on and the wines are delicious. The vibe is welcoming, funky and unique, which makes it such a standout spot. The staff are super friendly and always happy to help with wine or menu recommendations. Such a great local gem and we’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Charlotte Moore

I've been coming here for my morning coffee for ages, but will also now be a regular for their nights. The new Italian menu is SO good. Great entrees, delicious simple pastas done really well, wines you won't find anywhere else. It's a 10 out of 10 winner for me. Fully recommend.

Saturday night was our last night at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, we went to a gig at Camp Grounds Coffee Shop. Two wonderful women from Broken Hill were performing. The evening was a delightful, immersive sensory experience where acoustics, melodies, warm lighting, the aroma and taste of delicious food, excellent service, storytelling and laughter combined to create a sense of community and shared joy. Thank you Kahal (I hope I've spelled your name correctly), the great team in the kitchen and the singers Amy and Charlotte for the wonderful night! We left Tamworth on a high - what a great experience all around.

We live lives, bombarded by imposed urgency, manufactured problems, and deprived of ritual. And yet, the diligent and observant among us can if we try, rebuild these quiet moments, these simple pleasures. The morning cafe crowd at Camp Grounds developed during covid. Up and down Dowe St, carefully, respectfully, socially distanced we sat. Together, yet apart. That vital human connection outside our confines. The warmth of human generosity, and the exceptional coffee held so many of us through rough times. People would bring their own chairs. Though people come and go, both community and solitude still exist in the Peel St Camp Grounds. I’ve overheard the rigorous training underway covering all levels of hospitality excellence. So if you’re looking to make space and time for the warmth of interaction, and the healing opportunity to reflect, reset and recalibrate with friends, or alone amongst them, this might be the place.

10/10 coffee, food and service. Super friendly and welcoming cafe - incredibly friendly, polite and helpful staff. Delicious coffee and food! Ended up buying coffee grounds to take home to. Best coffee we found in Tamworth by far. Gluten free bread so we can enjoy the scrumptious toasties too!

I love people who commit to theme. Beautiful colours and the vibrant orange blanket that was at all our camp grounds many years ago. Reminds me of my grandpa and his Valiant. He had the rug on the back seat . Coffee excellent. Take a few minutes and put down the devices and let these lovely , happy staff share their place with you. Good tunes.

WOW!!!! Just…… Wow!!!! At risk of showing my age (proud 80’s kid!) you will walk into this beautiful place and be hit with nostalgia!! They even had one of the old-school Australia maps hanging on the wall that we’ve all stared at, day-dreaming about where we were going to travel to. The staff were amazingly friendly and made a genuinely warm effort with everyone making an order. The food was exceptional! If you want to be full, go for a bacon and egg roll, add double of everything and enjoy the farm fresh eggs and proper actual cured bacon!!!! But the coffee, the passion of the barista, that’s why I’m writing this review!! I can’t describe enough, how lovely it was to have a conversation with someone about coffee, who cares about it! Not only that, he was very happy to recommend places to stop at on the way back home. I wish I had grabbed the staff member’s names but I will making every effort to visit these folks again!

DINNER PARTY

Like heading to your cool friend’s place for dinner and drinks. Ft. retro love on the tablescape and in your meals

LO-FI + LOCAL

We believe that if the produce is top-notch, it calls for little intervention. So our wine, plates, music and chats are more minimal too

RIGHT THIS WAY

We offer table service by night. It’s that extra level of care that changes your experience and means you’ll hardly know we’re your coffee joint!
