Whitefield Farm was originally settled by the Landers family in the 1890. It is located in the Barossa Ranges 450 m above sea level and is surrounded by vineyards and grazing properties. There is easy access to boutique wineries and the Kidman Trail runs right by the farm, allowing for hiking, riding, and driving, on miles of country tracks. There are stunning views wherever you look, with huge 400-year-old red gums, rolling pastures and ancient gnarled vines. Whitefield is a working farm that focuses on herd rotation and low input agriculture to build the fertile soils and maintain the environment without chemical inputs. The farm is situated in the heart of the high-altitude Eden Valley Winegrowing region, so we really do have the best of everything, with the stunning views & peaceful surroundings of the farm, to wineries, restaurants, cafes, and the quaint country towns of the Barossa Valley only ten minutes’ drive from our front gate.

After a day of touring the region or walking the Kidman Trail, make sure you're back in time to set up your campfire and watch the sun go down with a glass of cool Eden Valley Riesling.

What a treat! Glamping with all the bells and whistles: comfy beds, shag pile carpet, ambient lighting, attention to luxurious detail, beautiful bathroom and an amazing bath house!... all overlooking a forest of gums. You can just feel the love and creative thought poured into this space to make what was a truly memorable experience.

We had a beautiful drive to the camp checking the historic buildings and canola fields on the way. We arrived to a great spot - open paddocks gave a sense of space. Rocky outcrops in the area had a Flinders Ranges feel and made for some nice hiking up the hill to see the views. Highly recommend this for those looking for a getaway without having to drive far.

Weekend Trip to Whitefield Farm

We absolutely loved camping here on the big paddock. The place was very big and quiet, perfect for a relaxing weekend getaway. We’ve also had some cows come up to greet us in the morning as well. It was an awesome experience overall for us and we would love to come back again in the future!

Rob & Jo’s property is beautiful! My partner and I decided to go on a last minute camping trip for one night at their Kookaburra campsite. The stars were gorgeous & the surrounds were lush green! It was such a peaceful time to go and spend a night beside the campfire. Would highly recommend! :)

We camped during the first week of August and were lucky to have the entire site to ourselves. The weather was perfect—sunny days with no wind—and the surrounding green paddocks were absolutely beautiful. Each campsite came with its own fire pit, and the area offered lovely walks. We also met Rob and Jo, who were incredibly warm and welcoming. It was a peaceful getaway, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet escape. Ps the Palmerston pub had lovely meals to.

My friend and I had an absolute amazing time at the Kookaburra Gum site. We arrived late at night, set up our camp-site, made a fire and dinner. When we woke up in the morning, to daylight was we're in absolute awe of our surroundings. Rob and his wife have such a stunning property and we felt to lucky to have found it and that they share it with campers like us! This was my first attempt at camping in winter and I really loved it. We are already planning a group trip back to this location ! Thanks again, truly wonderful experience! Also despite us arriving very late at night, everything was super easy to find and directions were easy to follow!

Easy to follow directions to the site. Clearly signed and plenty of information on local walks and attractions. The sites are well spaced and provide plenty of room to setup and enjoy the campgrounds without feeling like you're on top of one another. The walking trail offers some fantastic views and was easy to spot. Rob was friendly and very welcoming. Definitely worth checking out!
