Welcome to Port Macquarie's 'The Hatch Farm'; a pet friendly, interactive animal and fishing farm stay! A 150-acre working farm with a stunning outlook over the saltwater Maria River (with a rustic boat ramp and waterway running into the Hastings River). There is plenty to do and see at this hipcamp which was awarded to be one of the best hipcamps in NSW for 2024, and Australia wide for 2025!
Located on the Mid North Coast NSW, 4kms off the Pacific Highway, and a quick 13/15-minute drive to the holiday township of Port Macquarie. Port Macquarie is known for its beautiful beaches, coastal scenery and walks, koala hospital, local strawberry and tomato picking, and 4WDing at nearby beaches and through Cairncross State Forest.
Bernard and Susan are custodians of the farm, primarily using the land for poultry (egg), pig, and goat farming. They are transitioning to an off-grid and eco-friendly lifestyle for their retirement.
The Hatch Farm is home to many animals, most of whom are rescues - including border collies, cavalier king charles spaniels, chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, goats, miniature horses, cows, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs. There is plenty to do and see around the farm from complete relaxation, interacting with the friendly animals (there is usually a variety of babies to cuddle!), to casting a line or launching your boat from the rustic boat ramp. Please note that all animal interactions are self-led (including our animal nursery), and children must be supervised by their parents/carers. During NSW School Holidays, host led animal interactions will be available at designated times.
Friendly pets welcome.

45km from Crescent Head · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
After years of welcoming campers to experience the magic of the Pappinbarra River, we're moving to our next chapter in nearby Beechwood. Oakvale Cattle Farm is now for sale.
If you've ever dreamed of running your own farm stay or eco-tourism venture, this could be your chance. The property has the 1.5km of this beautiful river frontage you've been enjoying, platypus habitat, established gardens, and all the infrastructure to continue (or expand) what we've built here.
The homestead has dual living areas - perfect for hosting guests while keeping your private family space. There's also productive pasture land, irrigation security, solar power, and everything you'd need to create a thriving regenerative farm and nature-based tourism business.
Price guide $1.75m - $1.9m. If you're someone who's been camping with Hipcamp and thinking "I could do this myself," reach out. We're happy to show serious buyers around and share everything we've learned about this place and hosting on Hipcamp. See our website for more info.
We're halfway between Sydney and Brisbane and only 45 minutes from Port Macquarie Airport.
This is PRIVATE camping. Once you book you have the whole site to yourself. You'll only have to share the river with whoever you bring with you and us!
It's off-grid stuff - no power, no showers, little to no phone reception but one of the most peaceful places you can experience.
There will sometimes be cattle in the paddock - so to make this plain there could be cow poo around your area. If that is a worry to you, it's best you camp on a farm without livestock. If you do camp with us, and our cows are in the paddock, they are friendly and won't hurt you, though they can be quite inquisitive. We endeavor to keep our moo friends in other paddocks, but this is a working farm and we have to manage our pastures and put our animals where they are able to be safe and have enough food to stay healthy.
If you're here at the right time of year, you might catch a Bass or see a Platypus (but only if you're very, very quiet). There is a lot of bird life (Kingfishers, Wrens, Finches amongst others), reptiles (water dragons and lace monitors), and - of course - our farm animals.
Getting away from it all starts right here at Oakvale Cattle Farm.

There are also a lot of different species of birds, including the much-loved Black Cockatoos which are in abundance here. We have also seen turtles, frilled neck lizards, diamond pythons, red belly black snakes (rarely) and goannas.

Welcome to Port Macquarie's 'The Hatch Farm'; a pet friendly, interactive animal and fishing farm stay! A 150-acre working farm with a stunning outlook over the saltwater Maria River (with a rustic boat ramp and waterway running into the Hastings River). There is plenty to do and see at this hipcamp which was awarded to be one of the best hipcamps in NSW for 2024, and Australia wide for 2025!
Located on the Mid North Coast NSW, 4kms off the Pacific Highway, and a quick 13/15-minute drive to the holiday township of Port Macquarie. Port Macquarie is known for its beautiful beaches, coastal scenery and walks, koala hospital, local strawberry and tomato picking, and 4WDing at nearby beaches and through Cairncross State Forest.
Bernard and Susan are custodians of the farm, primarily using the land for poultry (egg), pig, and goat farming. They are transitioning to an off-grid and eco-friendly lifestyle for their retirement.
The Hatch Farm is home to many animals, most of whom are rescues - including border collies, cavalier king charles spaniels, chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, goats, miniature horses, cows, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs. There is plenty to do and see around the farm from complete relaxation, interacting with the friendly animals (there is usually a variety of babies to cuddle!), to casting a line or launching your boat from the rustic boat ramp. Please note that all animal interactions are self-led (including our animal nursery), and children must be supervised by their parents/carers. During NSW School Holidays, host led animal interactions will be available at designated times.
Friendly pets welcome.

Today we are a hobby farm with cows, horses - we invite you to say hello, but please don't feed any of the animals. If we are here to greet you on arrival you can fill up with potable rain water at our cottage.
The Hastings is still tidal at our place so the access and flow varies throughout the day - we generally take our littlest kids down at low tide. Swim, fish or explore our hiking trails though the old growth riparian vegetation along winding creeks. If you are into birds you will see plenty here - in the last 12 months we have counted nearly 100 different species on our property!

45km from Crescent Head · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
After years of welcoming campers to experience the magic of the Pappinbarra River, we're moving to our next chapter in nearby Beechwood. Oakvale Cattle Farm is now for sale.
If you've ever dreamed of running your own farm stay or eco-tourism venture, this could be your chance. The property has the 1.5km of this beautiful river frontage you've been enjoying, platypus habitat, established gardens, and all the infrastructure to continue (or expand) what we've built here.
The homestead has dual living areas - perfect for hosting guests while keeping your private family space. There's also productive pasture land, irrigation security, solar power, and everything you'd need to create a thriving regenerative farm and nature-based tourism business.
Price guide $1.75m - $1.9m. If you're someone who's been camping with Hipcamp and thinking "I could do this myself," reach out. We're happy to show serious buyers around and share everything we've learned about this place and hosting on Hipcamp. See our website for more info.
We're halfway between Sydney and Brisbane and only 45 minutes from Port Macquarie Airport.
This is PRIVATE camping. Once you book you have the whole site to yourself. You'll only have to share the river with whoever you bring with you and us!
It's off-grid stuff - no power, no showers, little to no phone reception but one of the most peaceful places you can experience.
There will sometimes be cattle in the paddock - so to make this plain there could be cow poo around your area. If that is a worry to you, it's best you camp on a farm without livestock. If you do camp with us, and our cows are in the paddock, they are friendly and won't hurt you, though they can be quite inquisitive. We endeavor to keep our moo friends in other paddocks, but this is a working farm and we have to manage our pastures and put our animals where they are able to be safe and have enough food to stay healthy.
If you're here at the right time of year, you might catch a Bass or see a Platypus (but only if you're very, very quiet). There is a lot of bird life (Kingfishers, Wrens, Finches amongst others), reptiles (water dragons and lace monitors), and - of course - our farm animals.
Getting away from it all starts right here at Oakvale Cattle Farm.

We had an amazing last-minute getaway at this beautiful farm. The property was peaceful, well maintained, and the perfect spot to unwind. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and even allowed us to leave our caravan on-site after checkout while we visited Wild Bull, which we really appreciated. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing escape.
