4 nights at Anchorage Farm Narooma

Great property. Great host. Took the time to cone say hi and give some good advice about the local area. Very well priced!

Weekend Trip to The Wandy Donkey Camp

We absolutely loved our stay! We were in a very secluded spot and barely noticed the other 2 guests, we had cows visiting us every morning, and Kate’s donkey tour is a must! Will definitely be coming back.

Weekend Trip to The Wandy Donkey Camp

Wandy Donkey Camp is so pretty, it has beautiful views in the evening and morning. There’s a petrol station really nearby too which is handy for basic essentials. Kate’s explanation of the entrance was brilliant. We really enjoyed our stay here and hope to come back again soon!

4 nights at Little Forest Farmstay

Another perfect stay at Elsie's property. Plenty of firewood available and the weather was just perfect for the Easter Long Weekend. Plenty of swims in the creek for the kids and very short trip into Milton for supplies if needed.

4 nights at Little Forest Farmstay

This was our second stay at the Elsie’s beautiful property and we had a wonderful time, again! The Coral Trees site is perfect for us, alongside the burbling creek, and plenty of all-day sunshine, great for recharging our Vitamin D and our camper’s solar panels. All of the sites were occupied (it was Easter long weekend), but the sites are so well spaced, we felt as though we were there by ourselves. Love bringing our dogs with us. Plenty to see and do in the region, but we were happy to enjoy just “being” and soaking up the beautiful location. Thank you, Elsie. Hope to visit again soon.

Weekend Trip to The Wandy Donkey Camp

We really liked our overnight stay in the paddock. Kate was quick to respond, very friendly and gave good directions. The paddock is large with nice views. There were about 4 others campers in the paddock but spots were well spaced out and everyone was pretty quiet.

Weekend Trip to The Wandy Donkey Camp

Excellent!! Private spot, with lovely view. Woke up to Kangaroos in the field, heaven on earth! Kate was sublime, so accomodating, even after a 12 hour night shift, she took the time to show us the donkeys and goats. Will definitely be returning!!

3 nights at The Wandy Donkey Camp

Camping at The Wandy Donkey Farm was great. Kate welcomed us and showed us to our site, which had lovely views, particularly for stargazing, as well as adorable cows roaming free with little calves. Kate also showed us her donkeys and goats, which we were very grateful for.

Weekend Trip to Truffle Farm Camping

Had a very peaceful time on the farm. Hosts were very accommodating, warm and welcoming. The friendly animals kept my son busy and the van was very comfortable to be in.

Weekend Trip to Little Forest Farmstay

We had a great stay at Elsie's property. A perfect location, only a 10-minute drive into town (Milton). Campsites were private and quiet, and we even got a chance to pet the lovely animals on the farm,

Weekend Trip to The Wandy Donkey Camp

Kate is a great host and met us at the gate to show us our spot for the night. The farm is located a short drive to jervis bay which was why we have selected it - and glad that we did. Our spot on the farm was huge with plenty of space between our neighbours. It's very peaceful out there, although close to the main road, we didn't hear the traffic noise at all. We stayed around for the animal feeding in the morning and kate gave us a talk about her animals. Highly recommend staying here if you are in the area.

Weekend Trip to The Wandy Donkey Camp

I loved camping at the Wandy donkey camp. Kate was an amazing host and made sure we had everything to ensure our stay was amazing. The camp ground was perfect with great views and flat surfaces perfect for tents. Would definitely recommend staying here.

2 nights at Little Forest Farmstay

Elsie's farm is stunning. We stayed over Easter weekend and ended up taking a site closer to the creek. The farm is beautifully cared for, as are the horses, dogs and chooks! Elsie is welcoming and the fire pit had ample firewood that lasted us 2 nights. A quick trip to Milton for a coffee or to use the public loos and the surrounding beaches. I can highly recommend the serenity and star gazing that Elsie's beautiful farm offers.

3 nights at Truffle Farm Camping

We enjoyed a fantastic stay at the truffle farm. The farm animals were friendly and an extra excitement for the the kids. Perfect location not far from the pub and the river and perfectly peaceful and quiet. Tricia was an exceptional host and took the time to show us around and explain all about truffles. Portaloo was very handy- Just remember toilet paper and your own water to flush! Sites had beautiful picnic tables and fire pits. Looking forward to returning.

3 nights at Little Forest Farmstay

Excellent location! We enjoyed our stay on Elsie’s property very much. The kids loved seeing the animals and we had a wonderful dip in the nearby creek. Thanks for having us!

2 nights at Anchorage Farm Narooma

One of the best!! And lucky enough to have the place to ourselves

2 nights at Little Forest Farmstay

I was looking for a site I could wind-down and enjoy a rest. Where I could take the caravan in without having to squeeze it in like a sardine, with nice views. And this was the place for it. The creek flowing constantly provided a relaxed background. Plenty of sun for the solar panels at this site. Located within 10 mins of Milton and the beaches, and 30 mintues of Mt Bushwalker/Florance Head walking tracks in Morton National park. Elsie was very nice, and her dogs were super friendly. Will return with the dog next time I need to chill-out.

Weekend Trip to Scribbly Gum secluded bush camping

Beautiful little shack in a beautiful location on the riverside. We really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the evening fire with a good wood supply provided by Phil, very considerate. Highly recommend it if you like a cosy cottage with basic provisions.

You can however moore small watercraft including boats & jetskis after putting them in at the boat ramp a short drive up the river. FENCING: We have farm fencing in place between the camp sites and the river bank, however we advise small children be monitored as there are several open access points along the riverbank. As mentioned, we are a working farm using gates and fences to contain our livestock. As a rule, leave all gates as you find them (eg: if you open a gate, close it after you. If its already open, leave it open) WILDLIFE: You'll see huge wombat holes all along the river bank - although tempting for the kids, please refrain from digging these out further as our wombats still use them as houses and they contribute to riverbank erosion. You may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of our fabled red stag in the evenings and will see an array of beautiful birds and other native animals that share our property. Please note: Any form of animal cruelty will not be tolerated and there is no hunting allowed on the property. *FIRES: Govt / weather restrictions permitting. Maybe lit in designated firepit areas only - BYO Firewood. A small wood pile is provided to each camp on arrival to get you started and provide a modest fire for the night, however chopped firewood is available by the bag or wheelbarrow on a cash basis. $25 for a large bag - $50 for a barrow. Let us know in your booking if you'd like us to arrange to have purchased firewood on site for when you arrive.
