A small family run certified organic farm with a Pinot vineyard, views over piccadilly valley, and fruit orchard. Set behind the beautiful Mt Lofty Ranges in the Adelaide Hills and only 20 minutes from the city. Our farm has a Bernese Mountain Dog named Lotti, 6 ducks, 4 chooks, and a cat named Alfie. Surrounded on one side by National Park and the other by vineyards and plenty of wineries. The next township is just a few minutes away and has all the necessary needs (pharmacy, GP, pub, general store). Within 10 minutes you can rock climb or go swimming in a fresh waterhole. It’s a beautiful part of the world.

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. Visit the neighbouring boutique wineries including, Poonawatta, Brockenchack, Shobbrook Wines, Heathvale Wines, Rileys of Eden Valley and Max and Me Winery or bush walk in the nearby Kaiser Stuhl Conservation Park. 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.

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.

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!

Humble Farm

63km from Tailem Bend · 1 site · Tent, RV
Nestled between the Adelaide Hills and the Barossa Valley, Humble Farm offers a picturesque country setting where you can pull up your caravan or pitch your tent. Set on 100 acres of open rolling hills with pockets of ancient gums and rocky outcrops, the property is alive with wildlife — think kangaroos, eagles, echidnas, hares, frogs, and butterflies. Camp alongside Saunders Creek (which flows in winter), in the shadow of historic ruins, and across from Humble Farm’s newly established orchard. Enjoy a large fire pit during the cooler months (strictly April to October). Humble Farm lies within an International Dark Sky Reserve, treating guests to some of the clearest views of the night sky and its constellations. Young children can enjoy the playground — complete with a sandpit and water pump, cubby house, swings, and monkey bars — just a short walk up the hill from the campsite. The main residence is over the hill on the opposite side of the property, ensuring privacy. Only one site is offered per night to maintain peace and serenity (if you’re traveling with others, enquire about multiple sites at a discounted rate). There is no toilet or shower block — public toilets are a 10-minute drive away if you don’t have your own setup. No potable water is available. As this is a working farm, dogs are welcome but must remain on a long lead. No motorbikes, please. Conveniently located just 10 minutes from Mount Pleasant (home of the Mount Pleasant Farmers’ Market) and 10 minutes from Springton (home of the historic Herbig Family Tree), Humble Farm is an ideal base for exploring. Spend an afternoon in the cafés of Lobethal or Woodside, sample the best of the Barossa high country at its many cellar doors, or venture to the Riverland — all within a 25-minute drive. If it’s tranquility you seek, set out on foot along the nearby Lavender Federation Trail or explore the backroads by bike and connect with the Kidman Trail.

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.
