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.

Wot Doin is a great weekend on our beautiful property 20 minutes north of Bulahdelah. The vibe is warm, friendly, and delightfully rustic with everybody connected in some way.
Most people stay on site in tents, vans, cars, or swags. Camp sites will be on a 'first-in, first-choice' basis. Bringing your own water is recommended as there is only limited water available (and it's a long walk from where you will be camping), and you can't have too many torches. Camp stove, kettle, and cooking implements along with lightweight camping chairs are a good idea. Arriving early is also a good idea. The music starts at 11:00 am on Saturday. There is limited mobile reception.
The usual principles of leave no trace apply. Bring everything you need - leave nothing behind. It's a manicured rural property so sorry, no pets or open fires.
Some people choose to stay in nearby accommodation which you'll find online - search "Upper Myall".

For ten years now performers have supported Wot Doin as a no-worries, good-fun party with "stump up" paddock donations being passed on to the working musos - and it's been brilliant. But Covid was tough on the arts, so we want to step up and help by ensuring that we look after the amazing musicians who make Wot Doin so great.
This time you pay for your camping spot or day visit and the funds go to the performers. And the performances are going to blow your mind.

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.

Wot Doin is a great weekend on our beautiful property 20 minutes north of Bulahdelah. The vibe is warm, friendly, and delightfully rustic with everybody connected in some way.
Most people stay on site in tents, vans, cars, or swags. Camp sites will be on a 'first-in, first-choice' basis. Bringing your own water is recommended as there is only limited water available (and it's a long walk from where you will be camping), and you can't have too many torches. Camp stove, kettle, and cooking implements along with lightweight camping chairs are a good idea. Arriving early is also a good idea. The music starts at 11:00 am on Saturday. There is limited mobile reception.
The usual principles of leave no trace apply. Bring everything you need - leave nothing behind. It's a manicured rural property so sorry, no pets or open fires.
Some people choose to stay in nearby accommodation which you'll find online - search "Upper Myall".

For ten years now performers have supported Wot Doin as a no-worries, good-fun party with "stump up" paddock donations being passed on to the working musos - and it's been brilliant. But Covid was tough on the arts, so we want to step up and help by ensuring that we look after the amazing musicians who make Wot Doin so great.
This time you pay for your camping spot or day visit and the funds go to the performers. And the performances are going to blow your mind.

Lucky Star Sanctuary is set on absolutely beautiful land, peaceful and full of heart. Clint is a wonderful host, very accommodating and clearly devoted to what he does. The animals are a real highlight and it is obvious they are deeply loved and well cared for.
Just a practical note for future campers: the toilet is located exactly as described, but it is uphill. With my car setup, it was not easy to just drive up there without packing things away, so that is something to keep in mind depending on your mobility and vehicle setup.
That said, this is a very rustic and basic stay, so come prepared for simple camping. If you are happy with that, it is absolutely worth it for the price, the setting, and the chance to be around the animals. A special, down to earth experience.

Only a one night stopper for us, but a welcome greeting and a lovely spot to set up on. Ensuite cabin was spot on and a nice change from our cramped shower inthe RV.
Recommend this stopover site to anyone.
Also, comms from booking to arriving were great.

Lovely spot for peace and quiet. Clint friendly and informative. The animals were brilliant, perfect paradise for animal lovers. Would have loved to have stayed longer. Toilet and shower, electric, and WiFi were really handy to have.

I loved the caravan sites at NRMA Myall Shores where amongst the bushland, nice to be in a quiet and tranquil environment. The amenities were clean and tidy. Overall a lovely park for family and friends.

Exceptionally well maintained. Camp kitchen is very well equipped. The Rustic charm is astonishing and very relaxing. Kellie & Rod are extremely helpful and very friendly. Our Kindred Acres is a credit to them and reflects all the love, vision and hard work they have put into it. Highly recommend OKA, do yourself a favour and add OKA to your travel list.

Beautiful cared for property hosted by the delightful Kellie and Rod and their onsite caretakers. Plenty of space. Our site overlooked a lake with an abundance of water Lillie’s. The camp kitchen is extraordinary, decorated with old-time farming memorabilia. The outside shower (private) and toilets were cleaned daily and spotlessly clean.

We had an amazing stay at The Hatch and couldn’t recommend it more. Susan and Bernard were incredibly friendly and welcoming hosts, which made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived.
The campsites are spacious and well laid out, with large shelters and easy access to the river. Toilets and showers were spotless and clearly very well maintained. The setting is wonderfully relaxing and quiet—perfect for switching off and enjoying nature.
For families, the animal nursery and the abundance of playground equipment would be a real highlight. We also loved the free kayaks, which were fantastic for exploring the river, and there are plenty of great spots for fishing too.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we will definitely be coming back.
