Maverick's Rest - Alpaca Farm Stay

Welcome to Maverick's Rest, a serene escape tucked away on the outskirts of Peterborough, South Australia, and connected with our working alpaca farm and newly planted lavender

Only 700m off the main Petersburg Road (entry off Dawson Road), Our bush campsites offer a blend of natural beauty, and rustic charm, with each site positioned amongst old native pines, offering views of both sunrise and sunset, along with the open farmland, distant hills, and animals doing their thing.

Each site features a level pad to keep you out of the dirt and the prickles, while defining your spot. There are also firepits and bins on each site.

We currently require all campers to be fully self-contained, providing their own toilet, water, and power for a true off-grid experience. We are a work-in-progress and constantly chipping away at making things even better!

The centrepiece of the campsite is an absolutely stunning stone ruin. We wish the walls could talk to tell us its story! We are currently working on making this space accessible to all our guests. In the mean time fell free to have a look through, it makes for gorgeous photos.

Want more? 
- Add on an Alpaca  Meet and Greet Experience, where you can meet and hand-feed our friendly alpaca herd, and learn about these amazing creatures. During this experience you will meet our alpacas, llamas, camels and others. Book now when you book your site as an add-on for a discounted rate.
- Indulge in our breakfast pack, featuring farm-fresh eggs, bacon, and yummy sausages from our award winning butcher.

Planning a group getaway? Get in touch with us to find out more about these options.

We are pet-friendly. Please note that all animals must be supervised and kept on a lead at all times. As a working farm, we ask that you refrain from allowing your animals to interact with ours for everyone's safety and peace of mind.

Only 2.5km from the centre of the main street, use us as a base to explore Peterborough and surrounds.

PS: Maverick was the name of our favourite stud male alpaca, and the dad to many of our babies. He was on TV, in weddings and the star of many a photo shoots. A true character, you would have loved him - just like we hope you love this campsite.

Dogs welcome.
