Beautiful location, amazing extras available and the loveliest of hosts. Very accommodating and easy to navigate. Very excited puppies that will let all know you have arrived and loves to try a sneak a snack. Amazing trip !

Relaxed host, large sites and hot showers. Easy to get to the Hunter attractions. Ideal for us with a camper trailer and small person

Loved our stay at Purple Pear Farm! Loads of space for the kids to run wild, and the hot showers were a perfect touch after a day outdoors. We also really enjoyed watching the stars at night—so peaceful.

Simple to get to and lovely welcoming couple. Thou the composing toilet could be a bit more desirable. But you get what you pay for we just needed a safe site for the night we arrived in the dark and left at first light.

The camping area was clear and beautifully mowed. There was a cow in the next paddock, which was a great surprise the kids and I.

Loved camping here. Such a great place. Loved the animals and wish we could have stayed longer to learn all about what they do at the farm. The hosts were lovely, they checked in but also let us have our space.

Purple Pear Farm is a beautiful and serene place. Perfect for connecting with nature and relaxing outside. I would recommend who is seeking a genuine community like farm experience on their travels . Kate and Mark and wonderful hosts.

Uncommunicative hosts, derelict facilities, unwelcoming vibes.

After we booked, we went to follow the farm on Facebook and realized there was a concert on, the same weekend as our booking. We were able to communicate with the hosts very easily, and we were able to buy tickets to attend.
The spots are well marked. The shower was good. There was plenty of space, despite the concert attracting a few campers.
The concert was so sweet. Real people performing from the heart. It was so nice to see some older generations represented in the concert, sharing their beautiful songs. We were really humbled. Kids ran around picking mulberries. There were a couple of fires around. Everyone enjoyed themselves and the night time was lovely and quiet. Kate cooked a vegetarian feast for everyone, which was super!
This camp also had value for money. It was much better than a lot of places, and much cheaper than most places we have been. (Toilets and hot showers.)

Easy access and nice level camp sites. The shower facilities were 100%. Much needed in the hot weather.
As with all camping trips you want to ensure you have your own form of shade packed.
The friendly dogs and cows were so great for our 2 year old. Lovely quiet and safe environment for kids and the super close proximity to down as needed. Would stay here again.

We loved our stay at Purple Pear Farm. Kate and her husband were so lovely and welcoming. The farm is beautiful and the campsites are really big. They have two of the cutest dogs, who our kids loved, cows, a pony, and chickens. It was heaven for our kids. They didn’t want to leave. When we asked if it would be ok to have a campfire, Kate’s husband gave us an old washing machine drum we could use as a fire pit, which my husband thought was the coolest. We really had the best and can’t wait to come back.

The hosts were lovely and helpful. It was a lovely spot with showers and a composting loo and close to town which is what we needed - yet it felt quite rural on the property. Enjoyed the dogs and the farm animals. Thank you Kate.

Lovely little stay at Purple Pear. Marc and Kate were friendly and helpful and the farm tour was a massive hit with our kids!

The farm was a great location for us. The bonus was the showers (there are 2), and it's a really good shower! The only reason our stay was cut short was the constant rain, as we weren't set up for 24/7 rain! We enjoyed watching the unusual small planes from the nearby regional airport.

Hosts and surroundings were great, but considering no water or power hook-up, value for money was very poor. Paid only $7 more per night at a caravan park with full facilities!!

Based on the price I cannot say more. It is much more than you paid. The lovely animals, the hot shower and the big site you will have. The location is quite convenient as well, close to everything. And Kate is very helpful if you have any questions. She even provided a free fire brazier for us to use, and the camping with fire is awesome.

Beautiful experience great hosts, felt so at home , turned up in 36 degrees 90-percent humidity to free camp and our hosts allowed us to hook up to power as we were going to a wedding. Saved our lives 👍

This is a peaceful and private site with friendly dogs and gorgeous sunsets. Handy location to town but feels off-the-map. Thank you Kate and Mark for a lovely stay.

Great camping spot with ease of access to everything in Maitland.
Kids loved the friendly farm dogs Rusty and Murray and other nearby farm animals. Ducks, geese, cow and shetland pony.
Showers worked well.
Would recommend for easy accommodation near Maitland

We loved our stay! The facilities went above and beyond with hot water showers. The space felt incredibly private even with other campers on site. A great stop off on our way north. We also loved hanging out with the adorable farm pups.

We needed a place that wasn't far from Maitland and where the kids and ourselves could experience a bit of permaculture living and lifestyle. PPF is a great spot with welcoming hosts. We will stay again.

Lovely and charming place. Would definitely recommend walking through the farm where there’s the round garden beds. It’s inspiring to see how productive and diverse it is! The hot showers were great. It’s just very close to a plane runway… so could be noisy or entertaining, depending on how you see things
