Cartapo Creek - Gumtree Paddock
Highly recommend
This was a wonderful spot to stay. Beautiful scenery, very spacious area to camp with fire pits. The kids had plenty of room to ride their bikes around and visit all of the animals. Margery, the cow, was milked and we could watch and have a taste of the fresh milk. It was the perfect place to stay for us, and would recommend to anyone, especially with kids. We just stayed over the night but it would be a wonderful place to take a break for a few days. Lovely hosts that were very accommodating

Lovely farm
We loved staying at Cartapo Creek. Lovely quiet farm stay with great hosts. Families with kids would love the farm animals. The Burra Passport is well worth doing.

Favourite HipCamp Experience
What an amazing HipCamp! When we arrived we were greeted by Oliver and we had bought a meat pack for our dinners. It was amazing to wake up and see all the animals, my favourite was the piglets. We done the cow milking and the kids loved it! Got a jug of milk for our breakfast. Lots of space and beautiful sunrise and sunsets.

Had a great stay at this family friendly property with our caravan. Chloe & Oliver were very welcoming as if we were old friends. A secure and peaceful location which can be used as a base to explore historic Burra and it surrounds. Our children enjoyed being involved with the farm activities, with some highlights being able to milk the friendly cow (and try the milk!) and laugh at the baby piglets. We also organised to pick up some of their meat packs which were delicious! We would definitely stay here again to further explore the region. Thankyou again Chloe & Oliver for your hospitality and helping us make some more memories with our boys.

Lovely spot to camp with the kids - they adored seeing all the farm animals, playing with the owners girls and helping milk the cow. Good distance away from the other sites and close to lots of things to see and do like the Bundaleer forest
