Fawlty Towers of Camping World

This was our second visit to the Chookhouse farm stay. First time was great (2yrs ago) this time it was the Fawlty Towers of camping. Out of 4 days - no hot shower for 3 of them - the showering facility was not fit for a dog wash - it was disgusting. 6 other campers came and went - because of the showering facilities. Last time we visited there was proper showering & toilet amenities - but we were not allowed access this time as they have limited it for permanent residents only. There was only a drop toilet with no where to wash your hands. No sink or kitchen facilities for washing up. Paid for a fire pit and it disappeared after day 3. Big Dogs (6 of) next door constantly barked non-stop 24/7. Site also flooded from overflow of bore water tank that was beside our camp. Very disappointing as it is a great location - however that is the last time we will ever be back.

Just keep driving to the next place

We have stayed at many hipcamps over the years. This one takes the cake for all the wrong reasons. Owners barking dogs (four) all night and the road noise. But for me it was being told to put our camper right between two other vans when there was a whole paddock of room. Place is run down and full of people who have there permanent caravans there (dodgey) Just keep driving.

Over priced for what you get

Shower and toilet are very basic, but also very dirty. A fee of $52 per night is excessive for what is offered.

Over priced, ridiculously noisy dogs in next door neighbours, very close to main road

Beautiful and kid friendly

Amazing hosts, beautiful property, and great facilities. My kids loved being involved in letting the sheep out to pasture, the very friendly cows and the gated children’s play area. I would highly recommend property and will be staying with them whenever I am in the area

Fantastic farm stay! It was fun to see all the animals about and wake up to the peacocks wandering around our site. Easy to find and totally stress free. Thank you for having us.
