Primitive camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Working cropping and cattle farm on the doorstep to the Clare Valley and a scenic drive to the Barossa Valley. Situated 1.2kms from the Rattler bike and walking trail which continues all the way to Clare or back into Riverton. So much to do within a short drive, historical Mintaro and maze, Auburns famous vineyards and cellar doors, numerous restaurants and historic hotels. 8min drive to Auburn the first stop in the Clare Valley with vineyards, gin distillery, historic hotels, fuel, shops and bike hire! Cruise the Riesling trail towards Clare stopping at wineries along the way! Or head into Riverton 5mins, check out Shultz Park Museum and working Blacksmith’s or enjoy a counter meal at the Central Hotel or Riverton Hotel. Enjoy a snack or lunch at either the cafe or deli! GF heaven at the Deli! Whichever way you choose there is loads to see and do when you base yourself here!Complete privacy in the scenic scrub in our fave camping spot on the farm. Watch the kangaroos at sunset and sunrise, and the numerous bird life in their native habitat. At most times of the year you will share your camp area with our poll hereford cattle which free range across the scrub. The dam is the perfect spot for a scenic bbq! You will have exclusive camping so no need to worry about any noisy campers! Fire Ban ends 30th May 2024.

Such a peaceful experience with incredible views. We did have issues with bees, however, we just ignored them.

Site was as advertised. Price seemed a bit high for what it was. Don't see why having kids adds so much when there is.no.power or water. I put booking in wrong (1 night instead of 2) so redid it and cancelled 1st booking. Refund $10 short

Exclusive piece of paradise!
This is an exceptional place! Can’t believe we had this whole place to ourselves! The property is a short 30 minute drive to the heart of the wine region. There is an exceptional coffee shop in the small town of Sadleworth which is 10 minutes away, and another fantastic cafe in Auburn, again just 10 minutes away. The property itself has so many different options, all of which are there for you to decide…. we chose a spot right near the dam, there were birds galore, a kangaroo visit and the curious cows are so cute! We drove to a high point on the property one evening, set ourselves up to enjoy a spectacular view of the valley at sunset. Rachael is an amazing host, she cares very deeply for the land and the campers coming to visit.
