This campsite offers a quiet and spacious retreat just a short drive from Albany, with the added charm of friendly horses and open paddocks. Many campers appreciate the peaceful setting and stunning sunrises, making it a great base for exploring nearby attractions. However, some visitors noted challenges with long grass and uneven terrain, which can be tricky to navigate. Despite these drawbacks, the location's tranquility and natural beauty have left many campers eager to return.

The Front Paddock
It was quiet as we were the only ones there, and understandably it is a working farm however the paddock was a hazard as the grass was very over grown and very uneven. We had to watch every step we took as to not roll an ankle! It made for a very wet morning slugging through wet grass up to the knees. But as it aptly name … we were in a paddock!

Great location, close to Albany. Grass does need to be leveled whe you arrive on site so come prepared.

The Front Paddock
A private location overlooking a beautiful vista. Very quiet on and off the property. But, they could have done a quick whip around with a mower to clear an area. We had to drive back and forward over a section of grass to flatten it enough just to setup. If it wasn't a wet weekend, or a few weeks more into spring, I would not have stayed because the fire risk of my exhaust igniting the tall grass would have been too great.

Long grass, paddock camping

The Front Paddock
Overall we it was ok but it’s just a paddock with long grass and no definite sites just pick the shortest grass you can find. At least we were allowed to burn some of the plentiful dead wood from the bush along the edge of paddock.

We found it very noisy on Saturday. People partying in the distance and cars doing burnouts till early morning
Huge camping area with easy access, close to Albany. It was comforting to know the caravan was safe and secure in the front paddock while we enjoyed the Albany Area.

Great, clear directions to access the property. Spectacular views, sunset and sunrise. The sun rising and gleaming on the home on the farm was so beautiful. We only stayed for the night but loved the serenity and the gentle mooing of the cows. Thanks Taya!
An amazing location, 20 mins from Albany (which has free hot showers in town). Woke up to the most beautiful sunrises. Thanks Taya!

We loved our stay here! Had the horses come for a visit. Lots of space and room for the dog too. The tree line provided lots of protection from the wind.

What a magical place, so relaxing, so nice.
Great spot to just unwind.
Highly recommended if you like a great paddock camp with rolling greens as far as the eye can see, horses that visit.
We absolutely loved camping at the front paddock. Tons of open space with nice hidden spots to camp. It was very easy to access and had 3 beautiful local horses on the property that would visit which our little kids absolutely loved. Was the perfect spot to stay just a short drive outside of Albany. We will definitely be rebooking for our next adventure down this way. 10/10!
Peaceful and quiet, even over the Easter long weekend you could enjoy a good nights sleep, there was complete silence once it got dark.
The Horses in the paddock were friendly and enjoyed the company of the campers as they wandered between campsites.
The host Taya was quite happy to assist.

Spent an absolutely beautiful autumn night camping, the spot was amazing and quiet. Caught an incredible sunset then cozied up to stargaze.
Such a beautiful property, so lucky to have had the opportunity to spend time here.
Beautiful and peaceful place! Stunning night skies
Great location, peaceful and quiet. We found it a great home base to explore the area
Loved our stay at The Front Paddock, lush green grass, so so quiet. Looking out to bushland.
Used as our base to see Granite Skywalk, The National Anzac Centre, Natural Bridge and The Gap.
There was plenty of room, a lovely outlook and very easy to find. We found the location handy to Albany and felt safe leaving our van during the day.
