Amazing place to getaway for the weekend. Our host (Guy) greeted us on arrival and made us feel welcome at all times. The kids fed the animals and collected the eggs. The facilities were clean and well maintained. We’ll definitely be back.

Amazing for kids! Guy and his family are the most incrrdible hosts. Animal experiences each day including daily feeding. Swim...or mud bath by the clear running creek, collect eggs, explore, or simply sit and let the animals come to you.

We loved our three night stay at Dead Tree Alley. Guy the host and his children were so helpful and it was great to chat while the geese, chickens, Guinea fowl, pigs, roosters, alpacas, goats, cows etc were being fed. We will be back one day soon. We can absolutely recommend this Hipcamp for anyone wanting to relax and reconnect with nature. Only one hour west of the Gold Coast!! 10 out of 10

Our camp-site was private and quiet and serene. A perfect spot to unwind and relax. Visually beautiful and well maintained grounds. Vast and spread out. These are the nicest camping grounds I've ever camped at the "creme de la creme"🧡. Day trips out to Mount Barney and the Wyaralong Dam and the Lost World were amazing.

Took our camper trailer to Dead Tree Alley really enjoyed the camp site. Guy was very friendly upon arrival and throughout our stay. Highlight was getting to feed the huge variety of animals on his property. The grounds are kept very tidy and hot shower and a toilet was great.

We loved our stay at Farm to Sea camp! We set up our tent near one of the toilets and had easy access to a very clean and comfortable loo! The view was stunning and so serene in the mornings and evenings. We drove the 10 mins into Torquay and enjoyed all that was on offer!
