This was our first off grid stay in our brand new caravan - and we absolutely loved it. Beautiful property, and so relaxing. Trish was lovely, and very friendly, yet non-intrusive. (Nothing against Peter- but we did not meet him - sure he is equally lovely.) If we lived in the same state, we would definitely make this a regular stay. Thanks for letting us share your piece of paradise.

It's a large farm, off the beaten path, with a variety of different camping areas. Trish put us in an open field by a fire pit because there were high winds forecast overnight. You can hike up to a ridge with sunset views down to a broad valley. We were the only campers there that night and it was overcast and pitch black. There are sheep on the property and we had a herd visit our camp in the morning. It was easy to book online with quick confirmation and we drove there after having dinner in Clare. It was great for us and would recommend to anyone wanting something different away from the crowds.

We returned once again to an excellent camp-site surrounded by friendly sheep with lovely views of the hills, gum trees and open paddocks. We watched a pair of wedge-tailed eagles soaring along the nearby hills for hours. We were met by Trish upon arrival who was friendly and cheerful, as always.

Weekend Trip to Edgehill Farm Stays Riverton

What an absolute treat to experience Edgehill Farm. Trish goes over and above for guests - from a warm, personalised greeting at the gate on arrival, to chaperoning to your site alongside friendly banter, to giving you all the space and privacy you need to enjoy your stay, right through to firewood deliveries to your site and checking everything was ok before you leave. The location is just beautiful. Lovely to see the glow of other campsites dotted around the property at night - but never hearing or seeing another camper. Loved it so much, booked in 2 more stays whilst we were sitting around the campfire. Hoping to get to Sunset Baa next time! I can see why Edgehill has such a loyal cult following (a real credit to the hosts)… we now count ourselves members of the cult! Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us!

Still my favourite place to watch a sunset and you get soooo much room all to yourself. Not the first time we've been here and not the last

The Western most rise on Seven Sisters. Tucked down in the saddle of the hills with spectacular views. Walk down to the creek and dam, usually some wild ducks to be seen. This site can be a bit windy but generally not. You may get a visit from the sheep or kangaroos.
The sunsets are spectacular. ENJOY.

Edge hill farm was beautiful. 2 nights in a pop top camper didn’t seem long enough. Blessed with perfect weather and great sunsets, but my highlight was probably watching the full moon rise over the hills in a clear sky. Access was fine at “twin creeks” for a caravan and standard car. Very tranquil, and remote from other campers. I highly recommend a spring visit!!! Thanks Trish and Peter!
