Campers appreciate the peaceful environment, enhanced by the sounds of nature and the accommodating host, Megan. While most guests highlight the tranquility and beauty of the area, some note the presence of insects like horseflies, though they are manageable. Overall, it's a favored spot for those seeking a quiet retreat close to nature.

We had a great stay for 2 nights at Fat Duck Farm with 2 families in a rooftop & easy up tents.. We had a secluded area on the creek to ourselves. Megan met us & showed us a camp site, making sure we were comfortable & later dropped a drum down for the fire. Plenty of firewood available in the local area.
The creek was clean, cool & flowing after recent rains. Ideal for children as not deep & access OK, although you need care on slippery rocks in areas. This is a good base for the Border Ranges & we much preferred this to Sheepstation Creek as it was hot weather, & the creek was so good to cool off in. Kyogle is only 20 mins away if you need some supplies. Thanks again Megan
Cheers Mark & Helen

A Tranquil Retreat
Tent
We definitely recommend this spot!
From the get-go this past weekend was a breeze. After the booking was accepted, Megan (The owner) was clear with directions and instructions on where to meet her before she kindly showed us to our pitch. We mentioned to her our style of camping was quiet and private and she accommodated us perfectly with an amazing flat site far away from any noise from others. The pitch was perfect despite the heavy rainfall the day before and to top it off there were next to no mozzies/midges even with the nearby fresh water creek (which we also had private access too). There were horseflies, however they were manageable and neither me or my partner were bitten over the whole weekend.
There’s nothing like sitting around a fire, listening to the creek water run and watching the sun drop behind the mountains alongside the feeling of being totally secluded from humanity. That paired up with an insane view of the night sky (we could see Saturn with the naked eye) AND no need for Aerogard made this spot our favourite so far.

Peaceful Getaway
22 ft pop-up camper
We love Fat Duck Farm! The hosts are amazing and truly care about creating a great experience. It’s such a peaceful spot to relax, unwind, and cool off in the crystal-clear creek. Plus, it’s only a 15-minute drive to Kyogle for any forgotten supplies. This was our second stay, and it was just as special as the first—can’t wait to come back again!

Secluded relaxing camping spot
Tent
We had a great weekend on a nice secluded camping spot on Megan’s land surrounded by rainforest and next to the running creek. The sounds of the forest and creek were very relaxing. We had to watch the big ants but that was easy. We had a nice cooking fire for the night. Megan was a great host and provide some advice for nice hike along the dirt road. We love to come back.

A perfect spot for our young family (3.5 & 1.5yo) with plenty of room to roam and a nice shallow creek with plenty of access points to play in - plenty to explore around the property too. Megan was a fabulous host - great communication and attentive throughout our stay. Definitely coming back!!

Camping by the creek
29 ft pop-up camper
We had super relaxing weekend away at fat duck farm. Megan super friendly and accommodating - gave us a private spot by the beautiful creek - perfect for BYO /self sufficient camping. The place is far enough away to feel secluded but close enough to still enjoy Kyogle and surrounding attractions, Highly recommend!

My boyfriend Shayden and I had a beautiful stay on Megan's property. We really just loved it and felt so relaxed. The creek is so beautiful and there are so many animals like sheep and ducks around and we even saw a peacock. Megan is so lovely and make us feel so welcome. We look forward to going back one day.

The Perfect Spot to Recharge
Tent
Fat Duck Farm is a truly beautiful and peaceful place to relax and connect with nature. Once the camp is set up, you won’t want to leave. The sound of the running stream is incredibly soothing, and it’s the perfect spot to cool off by dipping your feet in the water. Megan provided clear directions and was a wonderfully friendly and accommodating host.

Excellent Space to Unwind!
22 ft pop-up camper
We had a fantastic week! It was great to meet Megan and Ray—such good people.
The campsites are spaced, with river access, and fires are allowed, great experience. The creek was perfect for cooling off, and Megan is an amazing host—checking in to make sure we were all set. Joining her for a walk around her land was both enjoyable and educational, and our daughter absolutely loved it. Thank you Megan. Our next trip is already booked.

LOVED IT
16 ft Class B
I could not fault this experience at Fat Duck! My partner and I wanted to get away for new years and Megan (host) put us in the most perfect spot. The places is BEAUTIFUL, the creek is clean and has little spots where you can get some privacy and are deep enough to have a dip.
The host was SUPER responsive and flexible. The spot was easy to find and it was a beautiful drive from the Gold Coast. We were running late and Megan checked in to ensure we were travelling ok which we really appreciated. When we got there (quite late) Megan met us on the road to show us to our spot. Not only was it convenient but she met us with a big friendly smile which made us feel very welcome. The hosts checked in on our last day with a similar friendliness & flexibility.
I will DEFINITELY be heading back here and recommending this site to anyone looking for a gorgeous camping spot.
P.s I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of bugs at this spot. I generally expect lots of flies, mosquitoes or midges when staying on farms and near creeks but I only encountered the odd mosquito at dawn which were barely noticeable and there were very few flies. A couple of horse flys around but hey it is camping! This might change depending on season/ flow of the creek but in comparison to other sites the bugs were very very manageable which is a big plus!

Megan accommodated us at short notice during high season, which was great, as there were only a couple of spots left on the busy riverbank.
Beautiful running creek to swim in and cool down during the hot weather.
Lots of birdlife, saw an Azure Kingfisher.
Thanks again!

Great quiet spot with lovely hosts, within close proximity to town if needed and also many nature walks close by around the border ranges, nice spot in the creek to cool off right at the campsite, easy to access with a 2wd, will be going back again.

The ultimate camping destination!
22 ft Class B
Our stay at Fat Duck Farm was nothing short of spectacular. Megan is "our people" the perfect host, who was very accomodating and knowledgable and friendly. She showed us around her property, orchard and some of the highlights that you would not have found without her. She was super friendly, genuine, down to earth and all around great human!
We would absolutly recommend Fat Duck Farm and already have to anyone who will listen! LOL.
It literally has everything. Beautiful camping spots, a crystal clear flowing creek, wide spaces and secret places to explore and a wonderful host with the most!!
Well worth the 7 hour drive from Newcastle and we are already working out when we can return!
