Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.
Campers can be of any number - GROUPS are very welcome because of unlimited space. WE MUST KNOW if you need access to Toilet please. More remote sites are fabulous for the self-sufficient. WE ALSO MUST KNOW the TYPE of camping and AGES of CHILDREN - so that you are not overcharged. We aim to make your camping experience a special time away, just you and the she-oaks, starry nights and occasional wildlife.... a warm campfire. All you need to do is ...enjoy! We are a grain and sheep farming property situated on the Mortlock River about one and a half hours from Perth. Great for weekend campers or people needing a spur-of-the-moment break. Dogs welcome. We have many different 'sites' for people depending on a) PLEASE SPECIFY AT BOOKING IF YOU NEED ACCESS TO TOILET. Lots of spaces for vans etc but we need to know re placement. b) number / age of children and adults, and c) size and style of camping. PLEASE SPECIFY A septic toilet is available - please advice when booking if you need Toilet access. Those who are self-sufficent have more options re remote sites. Each site can have a campfire (in season) but - BYO WOOD please. Please make sure this is SEASONED WOOD in order to PREVENT SPREAD OF THE SHOT-HOLE BORER which will devestate our soft-wood river vegetation. Please ask is unsure. CAMPERS PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT disturb or take fallen timber and river debris for your camp fires. Our Eco-environment includes - possoms, birds, echidnas, lizards etc. People dragging timber and ripping off branches is unacceptable - please respect the bushland and its occupants. You can ORDER wood through us - with advance notice please. Prices on request. Please take all rubbish with you. This includes the tiny bits of foil and wrappings. people try to bury in the camp-fire. Pets are very welcome - please pick up after your dogs - other campers use these sites. Dogs and kids have the best time ofall!!! Consider a leash around the camping area. Your dogs can run free while you are walking - but be conscious of any nearby stock. CARAVANERS - please FILL IN the HOLES you dig for levelling when you leave. They can be dangerous for other campers. Use zero four three eight five three seven one seven one for information

A unique fun setting created by stacked Round Hay Bales. Probably best for tents and swags and smaller camper trailers etc. It is 25m wide - circular. One Fire-Pit is Immediately outside of the arena - for fire-safety reasons - no other fires permitted in this setting. The Hay arena offers protection from the wind and provides an unobstructed view of the stars on cloudless nights.' Excellent wind protection. Strict 'behavioural' rules must be observed with equally strict fire use and control methods. Has been used for one very large wedding; private Birthday gatherings; a re-union of a sporting team..... Ample additional space for caravans, large campers etc. More information by request.

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    Trapwell Farm offers a peaceful and private camping experience, ideal for those looking to relax in nature. The sites are spacious and well-spread, ensuring privacy and quietude. Hosts Cathie and Joe are frequently praised for their friendliness and attentiveness. However, campers should be aware of the mosquito presence, which has been a common point of feedback.

    Tent camped at Near the River (seasonal), Oct 2026.

    It was okay

    It was a really peaceful site and big for one vehicle. But sadly maybe due to time of year or weather, there were so many mossies and other bugs and also flies. The owner did tell me I need Thermacell after I booked but I don't own one so.... It was sad I only stayed one night, but booked for two.
