Ideally located just a couple of kilometres from Robe on the Southern Ports Highway (road side number #4437), The Four Mile Farm offers spaces for self contained vans, camper trailers and tents, in a tranquil ten acre rural setting. Only minutes to the Robe township, restaurants, cafes, shopping and Robe's famous Long Beach, The Four Mile has an abundance of wide open spaces to find a private nook to park up for a night - or a week. New facilities include a utility room and ensuite featuring a hot shower and flush toilet, located inside the front shed, as well as a new shower block with two hot showers and an additional flush toilet, just a short stroll from the camping area. (Showers are coin operated - bring a good supply of $2 coins). Bring a chair and relax round the community fire pit in the evening (fire season excepted). Watch the sun go down, the moon rise and spent the evening around the fire, star-gazing at the southern sky. If you'd like a night out in town, Robe Runner Shuttle offers a service to and from The Four Mile.

The property also has a bath with a hand pump from which you can pump beautiful clear drinking water. There may be some fine particles in the water which will settle or can be filtered out. There are a number of good camping locations near the bath. Any clear area within the boundary is available to camp in. Being a declared scrub block it is undisturbed and both brown and tiger snakes are present but if you leave them alone they will mind their own business.

Due to wind we swapped our stay at Paddock 2 to Shady 2. The spot was private and sheltered from the wind. We also decided to take a tour of the farm, meet the camels and sample some camel milk and ice cream. It was lovely to meet Tara who was very friendly and gave a very interesting tour. We felt very welcomed on the property and were able to take an evening walk and have another look at the camels. Perfect for an off-road self-contained trip.

Our kids absolutely LOVED this place and has been a highlight of the past 3 weeks travel. Stayed 2 nights but kids could have stayed longer. We enjoyed the peace and tranquility with no other travellers there so had the place to ourselves. Would recommend paddock 3 as it’s a little further away from the duck pen. We thought the camels would probs stink us out early but they didn’t smell at all. Great place and lovely owners who truly love what they do. 100% recommend.

Such a nice place to stay, very welcoming host and the showers were awesome. Very flat paddock for our rooftop tent which was great. Also had some very young calves nearby so was great to watch them. Highly recommend.

My girls loved the farm stay! We stayed on Paddock 1 which is next to the duck enclosure. You need to enter through the camel farm gate, NOT at shady 1 and shady 2 signs. The gate was shut and had a sign to say the farm was closed, but we were told to just open and close it behind us. Lots of space to roam around and see the camels, ducks, guineafowl, pigeons and Guinea pigs. We booked a morning milking tour which was great as our girls got to feed the camels, watch them being milked and taste camel milk. TJ was super friendly and happy to answer all of our questions about camels! Camel jerky was delicious too! The resident dogs, max and missy, were very cute and friendly and our dog got on well with them. Was a super wet and windy day/night when we checked in and the camp spots aren’t sheltered from the wind so just something to be mindful of. Would still recommend this property and would stay here again! Thank you TJ and Warrick for a great stay!

Ripper little place to explore robe from or just stay in and relax. Camel farm is great for the kids and the hosts are super accommodating. Shady 1 or 2 are the pick of the spots if you can fit. Shady 2 is a semi drive through spot, can fit a small camper trailer/hybrid if you’re good at manoeuvring/reversing.

Loved the simplicity and space of staying here and such lovely accomadating hosts. There is access to toilets and $2 showers but if you have an off grid set up, a quick 5-10m trip into town, you can empty your cassette, fill up portable water, and dispose of rubbish. Have stayed here twice now and will definitely be back. Sometimes you get to see the farm in action with baby calf's. If you don't want to hear your neighbours conversations this is the place for you!!

Little home away from home this one, big tick from the both of us would definitely return if we are ever in the area! 2 minutes from Robe! -only thing would be the showers are a little annoying as they can sometimes take a while to warm up Other than that perfect!
