Weekend Trip to Truffle Farm Camping

Great spot to camp. We normally camp by the river but in future, will stay here instead. Lovely to wake up with mobs of roos around and its family friendly and more secure than free camping down the road. Highly recommended for families who want to spend a few days panning without the worry of rangers and undesirables by the river. Lots of beautiful farm animals as well.

We had lovely 4 nights at Surfside, the powered was level with concrete pad. Power, water and waste close. The amenities were modern and clean. Overall I was so impressed, our stay surpassing any caravan park we’ve stayed at since being on the road for 13 weeks. The beach is stunning.

Pip is an amazing host! Great communication prior to our camping date and once we got there she was such a great host! The camp site is very quiet, great to disconnect and the kids had an amazing time at the pool! You get everything you need within a 5min drive. Definitely going to visit again! Thank you Pip

Tricia and Rainer want to share their beautiful farm and it shows in the way they try to make everyone’s stay a little bit special. Plenty of space to set up and private because you’re not right next to other groups. We had a large pile of fire wood waiting for us, which lasted the whole weekend. Friendly farm animals occasionally made a visit. A wonderfully peaceful and relaxing trip.

Weekend Trip to Truffle Farm Camping

Really easy instructions to follow upon arrival. Greeted by the cows as we drove up to to the host house. Hosts made sure there was plenty of fire wood and the amenities were clean and provided a map to drive down to the river. The camp area was clean and really nicely maintained and it was lovely to know that the animals had free roam which meant I woke to horses near by for a morning pat. (recommended bringing along some carrots) Next day we adventured down to the river which was AMAZING but unfortunately did get bogged and lucky for us the hosts kindly helped us out to get us on our way to pack up our site and head home. The campsites are spaced out with plenty of flat ground to set up your camp. For the kids, lots of room to kick a ball etc. Took our little one for a walk along the fence line for some koala, possum etc spotting which he loved. Both hubby and I highly recommend adding this camp spot to your next trip.

Had a great stay at the Truffle Farm in Oallen. Plenty of space, private, lots of friendly farm animals around, including a jolly truffle pig! Tricia was very friendly and provided a map for some good bush walks as well as plenty of wood for the terrific fire pit... which was much appreciated as we got a couple of very cold nights!

This was an amazingly beautiful spot to enjoy some quiet time. Tricia and Rainer were absolutely amazing and were incredibly friendly and helpful. There is a short 4WD track to the river or it is a lovely walk. We managed to watch Barry the truffle dog in action and had visits to our camp spot from the pig and the cows. The camp spot is in an open field but surrounded on the edge by beautiful bush where kangaroos bound through. There are good campfire pits set up and plenty of space so you are not on top of other campers. We highly recommend this stay and we will be back.
