A brief history of Ballara...Ballara is the 100-year-old family home built for William and Emilia (Millie) Baker & their five children. Built in 1910, it is understood Millie would not come to Warooka until the house was finished and furnished! Wise woman!William Baker came to Warooka as a young boy in 1884 with his mother, sister and 2 brothers, after the sudden death of his father.In the early 1900s, Will and his brother Alf became storekeepers, trading as Baker Bros. and running 2 stores in Warooka. Will, Alf and younger brother, Tom, also went on to become farmers.William met Millie when she came from Ballarat to visit her sister who lived at Warooka. Millie named her new home 'Ballara' in memory of her home town.A feature of the house is its ornate ceilings, and story has it that visitors came from afar especially to view them.William ran a wheat agency from an office on the front verandah and was also a contact for World War 1 recruitment.In 1927, William sadly died at only 50 years of age, leaving Millie on her own with their 5 children Doreen, Dulcie, William jr. (Bill), Ron, and Betsy.Millie died in 1965 and Ron continued living at Ballara until his death in 1988.Having never married and with no children of his own, Ron left the house and contents to his 10 nieces and nephews.After the family furniture was divided, Bill bought the house and placed it in the names of his three daughters.Carli and Penny were both able to enjoy some time living in the family home. Ballara still remains in the Baker family and is currently being cared for by Bill’s youngest daughter, Steph.

Spectacular water views and very quiet. Tom was very responsive to communication and allowed us to swap sites after we had booked. You do need levelling ramps on site 1 and 3. We did have 30 knot winds on the night we stayed, which is not ideal for a roof top tent. The wind was gone by morning and the views were gorgeous.

We had an awsome time at site 2 at tickera seaview camp with the van, reasonably flattish but you will need to bring levelling ramp, no shade and no protection from the wind, we unfortunately copped very strong winds for most of our 5 days as did Adelaide. Nice easy walk to Tickera via the beach, thanks Tom for opening your property.

Amazing views and only a short 25-minute drive to Wallaroo. Very private, with sites well spaced out. A bit of levelling needed, but we made it work.

We loved our stay here – amazing views right by the water. With only three sites it feels very private, and site 3, where we stayed, is nicely secluded by bushes which gives even more privacy. The sunset views were absolutely beautiful.

Stay 3 nights at site 1. Plenty of room and a beautiful view. Easy access to site. No access to the beach area. Close to Wallaroo and North beach. We enjoyed our stay in this peaceful space. Thanks

Great Hipcamp right on the ocean. Wide open farm land with three excellent sites.
Site 2 is the pick with easy drive through access and the most level of the three.
Absolutely no one around. Peaceful. Quite. Beautiful.
Would return and recommend to others.

Was an awesome camp spot not far from Wallaroo. Stayed on a clear sunny day so the sunset was unreal. The views from the site up on the hill over the bay and gulf were amazing. Recommend bringing some levelling boards especially if your in a rooftop tent but this is a minor inconvenience when you see the view from your tent in the morning

We took a group of friends here for their first camping experience. Lots of space, and the amenities (toilet, hot showers, communal kitchen) helped ease them in to the camping lifestyle.
David and Michelle were such great and welcoming hosts and were very easy to communicate with. We definitely will come back and highly recommend this campsite

Great spot to wake up with an ocean view! Super private at the back of a farm, no frills but perfect if you are contained and want away from the main area.
