Hectic Valley Farm is located at Mutchilba on 100 acres within the beautiful Atherton Tablelands, North Queensland. Spacious campsites are beside or near a massive dam that attracts a great variety of bird life and the amazing sunsets are different each day. 🌅 Three spacious spots are available a few short meters from the edge of a large dam (sites can be seen from the farm road) with another completely secluded site amongst the bushland. Bird watchers dream with the constant residents and seasonal birds flying in for the dam. Swim, kayak, catch and release fish, throw in a RedClaw pot or hunt for mussel clams. Do some hiking or 4 wheel driving around the hundred acres with our 4 wheel driving tracks. Meet the Farm Animals where campers can chat with the menagerie of animals we have on the farm such as Clydesdale horses, camels, sheep, cows, chickens, buffalo, peafowl, ducks and friendly geese. Hold newly hatched poultry, friendly chickens and maybe even lambs. Bookings are essential come by the farmhouse and meet at the gazebo. We are 10mins from Dimbulah or 20mins to Mareeba with their many attractions. We can tell you all about the many attractions and activities this area has to offer. Please Note: Cattle Creek and Waterfront Campsites are accessible by 2WD. The other campsites are 4WD access only and with off road campers/caravans only (high clearance to get through a dry creek crossing). 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. Sorry no motorbikes or ATV’s. We have a wet season (December to March) and dry season (September to December) choose your ideal times to stay.

Beautiful, private site situated right between 2 seasonal creeks and right at on the bank of the main dam. This is a good site for larger groups. Closest to the many walking and 4WD tracks at the back of the farm and completely secluded, surrounded by bush land. Come join us to Meet the Farm Animals, our menagerie of friendly animals bookings via Hipcamp Extra. Animal feed can be purchased for hand feeding. Please note that a dry gully needs to be passed to get to the campsite so off-road caravans etc, are recommended.

The perfect spot to get away from it all. Surrounded by bush land and situated under native trees and Gumtrees with not a man made building, car or road in sight. Sit back with a cold drink and enjoy the sound of nature with the local birds and wildlife (possums at night). Many tracks around the farm that you can walk or 4WD. Come join us to Meet the Farm Animals, our menagerie of friendly animals bookings via Hipcamp Extra. It is a short 5 min walk to the dam where you can swim, catch release fish, paddle board, hunt to Freshwater Mussels and Red Claw.

Water Lily Campsite
Hectic Valley is a young and working farm and we really enjoyed our stay! The sites are very generous, with plenty of shady trees (bring your hammock!) and some right next to the dam which hosts many birds and some of the farms poultry. Its dog friendly with lovely scenery and little bush tracks. Campfires allowed and some fire rings are provided. In the booking was the option to include the animal feeding in the morning which I'm so glad we did! We were very warmely welcomed and everyone had a wonderful time feeding and playing with the baby goats, chickens and geese, goats and pigs, camels and water buffalos and many more! Best stay for families with children including groups of families!

I loved camping at Hectic Valley farm! My kids loved feeding the animals, giving them scratches and experiencing new things. The hosts are so lonely and we're really excited about showing you around and sharing their love of the animals. The camp site was really beautiful and spacious with enough room for my 2 cars and camper trailer plus a mates car with roof top tent. Would definitely go again.

Loved camping at Cattle Creek. Large space, flat for a tent, beautiful views of the lake. Swimming was so nice and animals in walking distance. Highly recommend! Can get very hot and you will need to bring shade. But will be returning!

Loved the site, very friendly host. Bought amazing multicoloured eggs. Farm tours if that’s your thing. Enjoyed a spot of fishing. ☺️ To face the water - if in a caravan, entering via the farm house road and not the signposted route.

A really peaceful spot with lots to do! The animal feeding was a huge hit with our daughter. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet at our camp spot, walks along the damn, attempted to fish with no luck - still fun! So much space too - we were at Water Lilly campsite.

Great site. Felt like we were in the middle of nowhere with beautiful gum trees and bush surrounding us. Peaceful and safe. Our dog had plenty of space but still safe and close to camp well away from other sites and the animals.

Water Lily Campsite
Stayed around the backside of the small hill and honestly I would move even further back. Really beautiful sunrise and sunset. We did the farm the following morning as well and the animals are very people friendly. Had a 2 year old on her first camping trip and it was such an easy camping trip, well as easy as it can be with a toddler. Lol. There’s portable toilets and the dam is so nice in the afternoon. My partner took her paddle board out and there were duck families everywhere. Plenty of space and while we could see other campers( not very well), we could have easily rearranged to be completely secluded. The farm in the morning was great as well. The animals were all people friendly and we fed goats, cows, horses, camels and water buffalos. All are super chill and fun to pat. Kirsty was great with our daughter and gave us plenty of feed for the animals and answered all our questions.

Great camp! Host were amazing! Well worth a stay, the farm animals where definitely a highlight (so friendly) great experience for a very low cost. Did catch 4 fish in the dam (with small lures), no photos 😔 as there was no reception so phone stayed in the tent the whole time, making the experience even better to be honest. Will be back!! Amazing place to unwind

Great camp spot, definitely need high clearance caravan to access though. We managed our 22ft off road van without any issues. Took the kids up to the farm house and spent a couple of hours feeding the animals, also based ourselves here to explore the region.

What a great camp-site on a private farm, Waterlilly site was very private and spacious and surrounded by gum trees and a gorgeous dam! Our pups loved the space and being able to take dips in the dam. Bonus, beautiful fresh eggs from the farm, absolutely delicious 😋 We will be back. Thank you, Kirsty.

Water Lily Campsite
Really easy camp that is great for kids. We booked the Water Lily camp which is very big and private with lots of areas to set up in. The middle of camp is in full sun during the day but there are plenty of trees and shady spots around the edges. We hung out near the dry creek bed which was lovely and cool. Kids loved making a cubby down near the dam. Wish we brought a kayak. Kirsty is lovely. My mum loved the eggs and the kids enjoyed patting the cows. We had a few swims at the Walsh creek about 10min up the road. Shout out also to the lovely people at Mutchilba Roadhouse. There is a bit of noise from the highway but it didn’t bother us. Toilet is a portaloo and it worked fine. All up spot for a quick and easy camp.
