Nestled in a serene setting, this campsite offers a tranquil escape with ample privacy, lush greenery, and a friendly atmosphere. The hosts, Desley and Rod, are praised for their warm hospitality, and the farm tour adds a unique touch to the experience. Facilities such as hot showers and clean toilets are conveniently available, enhancing the comfort of your stay. Although occasionally there might be minor disturbances, like a neighboring group setting up closer than expected, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, making it a favored spot for relaxation and nature enjoyment.
Such a lovely spot to camp, very family friendly! And incredible hosts!! We had the best time and really enjoyed the farm tour. Such beautiful land and so many places to adventure all around. Will definitely be back
Desleys camp site is the best!! It is so private and have everything you could possibly need, hot showers, flushing toilet and the space is massive, we had campfires plus we made a new best friend with the most beautiful and friendliest dog Simba. Rod also did a little farm tour for us that was very insightfull, we will definitely come back🥰 Thank you we had a wonderful family time!!
The Grove was a beautiful and well situated campsite for a trip with my partner and our dog. The trees were shady (essential for hot weekend) and there were many birds, so the feel was very natural although you camp close to the working farm facilities. The owners and caretakers are around, friendly and not intrusive.
The shower and toilet are a convenient short walk from camp & kept clean. A daily shower was blissful in the heat. We had plenty of firewood to cook with & my partner loved chopping the big logs provided.
The resident dog Simba loves to come and say hi. We enjoyed this mostly, and he played well with our dog. We had to put in a bigger boundary with him when he started eating my dog’s food, & was persistent in asking for games when we were relaxing. He did listen to commands when we became firmer & spent a bit less time with us.
There are only two campsites and this suited us as we were looking for privacy and connection while we were away from our busy lives. One night a group came to camp right next to us in a spot we hadn’t seen as designated for camping. This felt less peaceful and private. I would suggest if you are after privacy, to confirm what spaces will be used.
Overall a really wonderful experience & my dog was relaxed and often off leash. Rod gave information on local swimming holes, which are a short drive away & beautiful. The location is within 30/45mins to towns for experiences and supplies. We had an excellent stay & totally recommend.
We loved camping here, we had the Grove camp-site and it was just perfect. Nice area for a camp fire and some trees for a bit of shelter. Beautiful and quiet, with just the sounds of birds and the occasional visit from Simba the resident dog. Desley and Rod were very friendly and welcoming and we look forward to staying here again.
Truely magical time was had at Desley’s land. We had the whole place to ourselves. Such a lovely spot to stay, we stayed and the campsite under the trees. My kids roasted marshmallows on the fire for the first time. We took a trip down the road and swam in the creek, the water was crystal clear. It was a lovely way to get back to nature. The caretaker Wendy was beautifully kind and generous with her knowledge. Would love to return in the future.
Overall we had a great experience, and the farm is lovely, quiet and perfect for recharging from the busy city life. However, I would have loved a „hello“ from the owner after arrival. It felt a bit strange to stay at a privat property without even checking if something is needed.
We absolutely loved our time at the farm... The limited number of sites is perfect so you can spread out. The dogs loved. 🐾
Des, Rod and Wendy truly make the experience it was so lovely talking to them and finding out all about the history of the property.
The nearby swimming spots are pristine and great for a cool down.
The amenities were clean and well maintained.
We highly recommend the farm.
Ps. If you can get your hands on some of Des's organic beetroot hummus made on site it is to die for. ❤️
Absolutely beautiful location and hosts! Amenities were clean (only a short walk to the campsite), firewood was provided and everyone was so lovely! The hosts were very generous with their time- they invited us to see and learn about the garden and were always open for a chat. Wendy was gorgeous and Rod too.
They let us know the local swimming spots and trail walks so there was plenty to do and see. The resident dog was sweet and our dogs had a great time socialising off the lead. We’ll be back for sure!! Thank you for sharing your pocket of paradise 🤍
Beautiful peaceful property 45 minutes from town. Easy river access nearby and it's a great place to take the family with access to a shower and toilet.
Nice grass area on a gentle slope to set up on with a fire pit nearby.
We can't wait to go back.
We had a beautiful stay at Homegrown Farm. Extremely peaceful & serene, it was just what we were after. So many stars to see while relaxing by the fire pit.
Our dog loved running around with the resident dog from nearby & we loved location as it was our first Caravaning experience.
We will definitely be back!
The owners were incredible, quickly processed a refund for us when we had to leave early for a family emergency. The mountain views were very peaceful. Lots of chirping birds and was a delight to wake up to. The river/swimming hole was absolutely delightful, although if you’re like us and have a rooftop tent, it was a little annoying having to pack up camp each time you wanted to go as it is a public swimming hole, and about a 5 minute drive out of the campsite. But would definitely go back as it’s a great location! 🌈☀️
My partner and I really enjoyed our stay at Desley’s property. The campsites were well shaded and fairly flat. The amenities were great and she was very helpful in our communication. Thanks so much!
Overall the site was fine, would be a good spot if your travelling that way as its a bit of a drive from the main M1 freeway. Probably not worth the $65 if you have your own facilities as the place didn’t seem to offer much more.
We loved our stay. We camped with our dogs, sat around the fire every night and enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. There are only 2 camping spots in the farm so it never gets crowded or noisy.
Wendy the caretaker was lovely and very welcoming!
What a beautiful place. The caretaker, Wendy was lovely and very helpful. The camping spot was nice and big.
A very big positive is the clean toilet and showers with a clean hand towel provided every day.
A swim in the dam was amazing and a stroll through the amazing organic garden is a must! All campers were very respectful and clean up after themselves.
The beautiful Simba (Sim) the dog, is just too happy to say hello every day and have a play with the other dogs.
I would highly recommend this destination. Desley is lovely and very happy to share the ins and outs of the farm.
Our family and kelpie had a great time camping at the Grove. There was plenty of space for the kids and dog to explore. There was usually an afternoon breeze which was refreshing as it was hot (35C) on a few days. Camping under the shade of the trees helped in the afternoon however the cicada above were loud at times.
It was a short drive to the river for the kids to play and cool down. The shower and toilet was clean and there was an outdoor sink.
It was a lovely country escape that was relaxing and on a beautifully serene property which was only 45 mins to the beach on hot days.
What a lovely spot! Rod was incredibly helpful and sorted us out with heaps of firewood and the organic produce was delicious, the best kale I’ve ever eaten! White Russian it’s called! It’s a must try! Thanks for having us!
Great spot to switch off and disconnect from the world. Clean facilities, lovely hot shower, and a Hipcamp we will be visit again. Hosts were very knowledgeable, but also gave us the space we needed. Thank you!
We had a good time despite the rain! There was a lot of space, so it felt quite private. Probably because of the rain there were not many activities to do in the area. The hosts were very nice and helpful, but also gave us lots of privacy.
Our group of 4 families loved camping at Desleys property. Everything from the site to the amenities was perfect. Desley was super friendly and helpful right from the moment we booked until we left the site. We had the site to ourselves and enjoyed every minute. Thanks Desley.
