Noorla Farm (Happy Camping Ground)

We live in a beautiful hidden valley on 30 acres, We're joined by friendly dogs,  horses,  alpacas, rabbits, guinea pigs, 2 lovely Camels,  2 cheeky pigs, Galloway cows and chooks, along with the resident wildlife including many birds, kangaroos, koalas,  shy owls, and even an echidna! All this, plus beautiful views from atop our hills, right to the lake, and the delightful winter creek complete with frogs.  

We are close to the McLaren Vale wine region as well as wineries throughout the Hills and 35 minutes to the coast of Victor Harbor.   The Greenman Inn is 5 minutes down the road and has wonderful food from Wed to Sun if you do not feel the urge to cook with wood fires for the cold nights or a gorgeous outdoor area for the warmer months.

At present, we offer two areas for camping.  Topspot which has lovely views and is quite secluded amongst the tree tops.  This site is suitable for tents  and camper trailers (need reasonable backing skills  and 4WD) 

The Laneway which is close to the babbling creek is suitable for those with a small caravan, or motorhome, 2WD etc, along with tent campers. (but would struggle with large caravans/motorhomes - please check with hosts)

(The Lookout/Highview has spectacular views Please note this site is currently closed due to stock rotation.)

 If you have any doubts about which to book, please ask.  

AUTUMN/WINTER MONTHS:  if we receive considerable rain the trek up to the  hill sites could become slippery and not accessible as it is a farm paddock, therefore unfortunately your booking may need to be cancelled.  

NOTE: On our farm there is limited phone coverage in the valley (The Laneway). 

Pets are welcome, however, please ensure they are kept under control (unless discussed with the host) at all times.

Please note: This is an active small farm, therefore work may need be continued throughout your stay possibly necessitating the use of machinery and tending to our livestock. If you wish to see some of the animals up close, please let us know and we will try to accommodate. We ask that all fires be contained within the fire pit provided and a portable toilet is available for your use.

BUSHFIRE SEASON: Wood and open fires are not permitted in the bushfire season, therefore you will not be able to use the fire pits.
