The Riverland is an amazing place to visit, full of so many surprises! The variety in the landscape, from harsh limestone plains to beautiful rolling sandhills, to the beauty of the Murry River. There is so much wildlife to see especially when it comes to bird watching! And the area is full of history! In every town you will discover many historical facts and buildings, machines etc. We even have histroy right here on our property!-ruins of an old school. Oh, do I hear you love taking your horse out for trail rides? Well, here's the perfect place for that too! At the campsite - approx 2km away from the farmhouse - you have the privilege of being surrounded by natural scrublands and habitats on the plains. See our mallee, acacias, sugar woods, grevilleas, honeyeaters, wrens, finches, kangaroos, emus & more. And don't forget the stars!! Our night sky is amazing due to very low light interference. At times, wake up to the sounds of sheep bleating and drinking from the trough a few hundred meters away. We have a central campfire area for each site and a double sink connected to river water for washing up and a large prep area on sites 1 & 2. Also on site 1 & 2, just a short walk from the camp fire is an outdoor flushing toilet with hand basin-a luxury for a station stay! Often there are things happening on the farm. Feel welcome to ask if there is anything you can be a part of to add to your holiday experience! We may be moving sheep, shearing, crutching, fencing, feeding the farm animals, milking our house goats etc. Even come for a horse ride (further info in 'Extras")! Well behaved dogs are welcome, but please discuss this with us prior to booking and they must be on a lead at all time. Sites are family friendly. Please let us know if you have children so we can accommodate the pricing. We want you to have the best camp experience! If you are camping with friends, why not do a Group Booking? You will find this if you search "Stockyard Plains Group Booking" in the search bar. Come and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and relax and unwind in quiet of our county property.

Such a beautiful spot! Lots of birds, a few kangaroos, peace and quiet. Bruce and Leanne are excellent hosts, making sure everything is as it should be. The bush offers beautiful walks and perfect sunsets! Thank you for having us!

Winter bush camping at its finest.

In the winter there is nothing like camping with friends where the most difficult decision you have to make is what to time to stoke up the fire to have coals ready to cook on. Our group of three couples discovered this site last year and came back again this year because it would be hard to find anywhere better. Leanne makes great bush camping so easy. Your firewood order is delivered neatly stacked and ready to use. The toilet is clean and well supplied. And if there are any issues arise, send a message and Leanne will be all over it. It doesn't rain a lot out here. But what rain you do get doesn't cause mud because it is sandy soil. If you camp by the River Murray a couple of mm will give you a slick clay that sticks to your boots something awful. Will we be back next year? That decision has already been made as a resounding YES.

Wide open spaces

I had a lovely time in my camper trailer on Leanne's land. The sites are well spaced apart and generously sized. With clear skies on the first night, I had an amazing view of the stars and Milky Way. It's a very quiet and relaxed location and Leanne is a friendly and helpful host.

Great hosts, great camping spot

Our family loved our time at Stockyard Plains, the hosts were so lovely and the location was perfect. The camp set up is great with enough space between camps for privacy amongst the scrub, each having their own campfire set up and the flushing toilet was a huge bonus. We loved meeting Astro the pony and rest of the family, who came down to meet us. Completely agree with the 100% rating, exactly what we look for in a hipcamp. Thank you
