Feel free to put on some music and have a few drinks by the campfire, but we want our farm to be a place where our animals and our guests feel safe and relaxed, so we do not accommodate noisy parties.

Dam Crazy is also pet friendly, dogs must be cleaned up after and may be walked off leash on the walking trails (please be mindful of other campers, farm animals and wildlife), they may also swim in the dam but must be contained or kept on leash in the campsite areas.
The dam is very deep and could have snags washed down in floods, so we suggest children wear life jackets, and MUST be supervised by adults at all times around the water.
Numbers are limited to ensure you have plenty of space and privacy!

8 m pop-up camper
We absolutely loved camping at Paperbark Farm, not only were the sites spacious and the animals friendly, Michelle was wonderful - she was always around to say hello, and helped us when we needed. The horses are beautiful and friendly and love some carrots. Location is great, just 15 minutes from Hervey Bay. Would 100% recommend Michelle’s place!

Really great camp spot!
The showers and toilets were very well maintained and super clean!
The camp spot was so great and Sarah was very accomodating with letting us choose our own spot to camp.
Keep in mind the cicadas can be super loud in the morning and evenings on the unpowered spots at the river.
Great spot to chill, have a fish and a beer! We highly recommend this hipcamp spot.
Thanks so much guys.
