Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Location! Location! Location! Thistlebank Estate is a peaceful, leafy property on the outskirts of Mount Barker WA. Overlooking a picturesque lake and surrounded by new and old trees, this property is a tranquil haven with easy access to town, the Porongurups, Albany and Denmark. Properties like this are few and far between and we want to share our piece of paradise with people that appreciate nature and peace. Thistlebank Estate Hipcamp is currently a single site, separate to the main property, but owners, Kathryn and Steve offer guests the opportunity to enjoy a guided tour of their orchard and garden upon request. Visitors will also be offered a complimentary seasonal produce box upon arrival, subject to availability. When permitted, guests can enjoy their own campfire, with wood available to purchase upon request. As an eco-friendly site, guests are required to leave no trace and cause minimal disruption to the local wildlife and flora. Small groups will be considered upon request. Indoor pets will also be considered upon request.This site overlooks our beautiful lake looking east. Wake up to the most stunning sunrise, morning bird song, and a short walk to the best bakery in the region. You will need to be fully self contained and off grid. The local public amenities are only a short drive at the Mount Barker Visitor Centre. As there is a diverse population of ducks living on the lake, please contact us prior to booking if you have an indoor pet. No outdoor pets allowed. Due to high fire risk, fires are only permitted in the designated fire pit area during winter. Please contact us to confirm and firewood is available to purchase. There are a number of nearby walks and trails - the Porongurups are 20 mins drive, the Stirling Range is 45 mins and there is a lovely accessible trail as well as mount bike trails at the top of Mount Barker Hill which is nearby the estate. The lake is fresh water and suitable for swimming at your own risk.

Absolutely stunning and peaceful place. A few mins from Mt Barker central area but you drop out of the world surrounded by nature. The ducks are adorable and super friendly. 10/10

What a truly special place! Such a private location only shared with the friendly ducks that love a chat! and if you're a person that needs music or soft sounds to sleep - look no further, the frogs will get you in a trance and you will drift off in your chair easily!! AMAZING. Located in town at the visitor's centre, is water and waste drop facilities. The local Bakery at Mt Barker is sensational also. Easy to shoot off from this location to Albany or Denmark for day trips. Steve and Katheryn are very friendly (loved the welcome basket of fresh fruits from their garden) and it was our pleasure to stay on their property. Highly recommend.
