Primitive camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
100 acres on the beautiful Atherton Tablelands, North Queenslands food bowl. Campsites are beside or near a massive dam that attracts a great variety of bird life and enjoy amazing sunsets. Chat in the afternoons with the menagerie of animals we have on the farm such as Clydesdale horses, camels, sheep, cows, chickens, peafowl, ducks and friendly geese. Nearby tourist destinations include Chillagoe Caves, Mt Mulligan plus Mareeba those into wine, coffee and spirit tasting as well as the rich history of olden day farming. Two private spots are available a few short meters from the edge of a massive dam with another completely secluded site amongst the bushland. Bird watchers dream with the constant residents such as Pacific Black Ducks, Royal Spoon Bills, Egrets, Plumed Whistling-Ducks, Herons and Plain Turkeys plus seasonal birds flying in for a rest Black Swans, Pelicans, Jabirus, Black Cockatoos and so many more. Swim, kayak, catch and release fish, throw in a RedClaw pot or hunt for muscles clams. Do some hiking or 4 wheel driving around the hundred acres with our 4 wheel driving tracks. Please Note: Waterfront campsite is the only site accessible by 2WD with no trailer. The other campsites are 4WD access only and with off road campers/caravans only. These are self contained sites so please take your own shower and toilet facilities and take away all waste. Well behaved dogs are allowed but must be supervised at all times for the protection of the sheep, poultry, wildlife and not to be brought to the house yard. We have a wet season (December to March) and dry season (September to December) choose your ideal times to stay. For more info on us visit our website. www.hecticvalleyfarm.com.au

Waterlily camp stay
Kirsty was such an amazing host! I cannot recommend this place more. The site was very spacious and well kept. The waterlily dam was great for a little swim and the starry skies were just beautiful. Our kids absolutely loved the farm and all the animals! Kirsty was so knowledgable and happy to introduce all the pigs, horses, camels and chickens. A great place to escape for the weekend!

Water Lily Campsite
Wonderful
Kirsty is so lovely. And what a beautiful property!! The animals were absolutely fab. The view was amazing. The farm fresh eggs so good! So peaceful, so nice to just get away from it all. Loved not having reception. Forced us to focus on ourselves and nature. Just be mindful that if there is a lot of rain (aka wet season rain) you may be cut off from the main property and roads, and may not be able to leave your camp site. If you have a 4WD, you’d be fine. Certainly recommend a 4WD for the water lily camp site. Can’t wait to come back!! Thanks Kirsty for sharing your slice of paradise!

Great experience!
An amazing place to stay and get away from the troubles of people. The hosts are wonderful people and are incredibly polite. Will definitely be coming here again. Bit windy, but that's to be expected so just make sure to bring something you can use as a wind block for the fire 😊 stones work great too.

Was our first ever camping trip and was amazing! Kirsty the host was really welcoming, had our fresh eggs ready to go and showed us to the site. So relaxing, the animals are all so friendly, clean well marked spaces to explore. Highly recommend.
