Sunset Rocks Farmstay: Creekside Camping & Permaculture Experience Discover the tranquility of Sunset Rocks Farmstay, a 20-acre gem nestled in the rolling hills of Mount Barker Springs. Our unique property features Mount Barker Creek flowing through it, creating picturesque creekside campsites perfect for nature lovers. Our property is a unique haven nestled against dramatic cliffs and a burbling creeks. A really special camping experience. ***ALL KIDS UP TO 18 STAY FREE *** CAMP FIRES: - ok out of fire ban season. ## No fires after Nov 15 2025. ## Experience the charm of an evolving permaculture farm, home to friendly sheep, playful lambs (August - November), alpacas, chickens, and fruit trees, all while surrounded by the beauty of native Australian wildlife. Our campsites offer stunning creekside views, with some situated directly on the water's edge. Enjoy the soothing sounds of the creek and the rustic charm of our natural setting. Your hosts, certified Permaculture Designers, are dedicated to environmental preservation, ensuring a sustainable and enriching experience for all guests. The property is designed to provide a peaceful escape, allowing you to reconnect with nature. Local Attractions: Sunset Rocks Farmstay is ideally located for exploring the Adelaide Hills region. Discover nearby Ngeringa Vineyards, wander through the Laratinga Wetlands, or hike to the summit of Mount Barker for breathtaking views. Explore the SteamRanger Heritage Railway, browse the Adelaide Hills Farmers Market, and sample local flavors at Howard Vineyard and Prancing Pony Brewery. The historic town of Hahndorf, with its charming shops and restaurants, is also just a short drive away. Farm Activities: Immerse yourself in farm life by meeting our animals, exploring the land, and learning about permaculture practices. Children can enjoy kayaking in the creek's rock pools, while nature enthusiasts can enjoy scenic walks. We encourage guests to respect and enjoy the environment: we have a range of native animals on the property including blue tongue lizards, possums, brown and red bellied snakes, heaps of birds including kookaburras and often a kangaroo or dozen!

Tent site · Sleeps 6
** warning - magpies were observed swooping this site mid Sept 2025 ** Right next to the creek through, this site is more or less flat and grassy.

You will see the sun set against the cliffs which rise up on the other side of the bubbling creek and you may well spot sulfur crested cockatoos, magpies, parrots and even occasionally yellow tailed black cockatoos enjoying the many river red gums on the farmstay. Note that at this time of the year our sheep are freely grazing across the property - so don't be surprised to see a fluffy friend or two. Note this is a non powered site and vehicles may not be parked on the grass but car parking is readily available around 100 metres up hill. *** Note - this site is directly beside the creek. In the case of heavy rain, this site may flood and be unavailable *** in this case we will do our best to offer you an alternative dry site safe from any flooding.

Sun High Rocks @creekside RV Site A

RV site · Sleeps 12 · Vehicles under 5 m
Our most secluded sites, looks out on to the highest point of our cliffs and is directly overlooking the creek. This site is in the creek basin itself and just metres away from the bubbling creek. This site is about 15x10 metres and about a two minute walk up hill to the toilet and one minute to the camp kitchen. A note on access: to gain access to the site you'll need to drive across our lawns. We'd like to keep traffic to a minimum so once your camper is set up, please use the car park higher up for your car - or keep your in and out travel to an absolute minimum. You will see the sun set against the cliffs which rise up on the other side of the bubbling creek and you may well spot sulfur crested cockatoos, magpies, parrots and even occasionally yellow tailed black cockatoos enjoying the many river red gums on the farmstay.

Overflow caravan sites: near sheds

100%
(1)
RV site · Sleeps 8 · Vehicles under 8 m
These overflow caravan sites are adjacent to the parking area and our private shed. The sites are level and they're all weather sites unaffected by the level of the creek. One is on cement, the other on dirt. Still with nice views but closer to our infrastructure and amenities than overflow sites #1. Suitable for vans up to 5m long (on concrete) and 8m long on the dirt.

Blossom Lane Caravan /RV Site

Booked 2 times
RV site · Sleeps 8 · Vehicles under 32 m
** warning - magpies were observed swooping this site mid Sept 2025 ** Adjacent to our fruit orchard and a close walk to our loo, this unpowered elevated site is supported by a vast raised pad and looks down into the valley and the creek. Perfect for caravans, this site is huge at about 6 x 14 metres usable space and about a one minute walk down hill to the toilet and to the camp kitchen. There's room to stay hitched on to your car if you prefer or park adjacent to your van. We're still top dressing the pad so no grass yet - so for now, bring your ground sheet mats and folding chairs to enjoy the view. You will see the sun set against the cliffs which rise up on the other side of the bubbling creek and you may well spot sulfur crested cockatoos, magpies, parrots and even occasionally yellow tailed black cockatoos enjoying the many river red gums on the farmstay. Note that our sheep are freely grazing across the property - so don't be surprised to see a fluffy friend or two. This site is suitable for camper trailers, camper vans and caravans large and small.

Our overflow sites are set back further up the hill and have spectacular views of valleys and ancient red river gums. They will not be completely level and you’ll need wheel ramps to level up and you’ll need to be fully self contained and off grid. You’ll have at least 5x15 metres of space and be not more than and about a two minute walk down hill to the toilet and a little further to the the camp kitchen. You will have ready access to the grassy area near the creek as well for recreation but do note that our sheep are freely grazing across the property - so don't be surprised to see a fluffy friend or two. These sites are suitable for camper trailers and all sizes of caravans. NOT level for tents. Group booking are welcome - fitting max 6 caravans / camper trailers. Please message the host for further details. *** Note - in the case of heavy rain, these sites may be be unavailable due to dirt track access***
