Peaceful Stay with Wonderful Hosts

My stay at Joe and Cathie's property was a fantastic experience. The land is well-maintained, peaceful, and offers a great opportunity to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. The campsite provides plenty of space, making it suitable for campers looking for privacy and a genuine outdoor experience.
Joe and Cathie are wonderful hosts—friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help if needed while still respecting guests' privacy. Their local knowledge and hospitality made the stay even more enjoyable.
Future Hipcampers can expect a quiet and relaxing environment, beautiful scenery, and a well-cared-for property. Whether you're looking for a peaceful getaway, a place to unwind, or a base to explore the surrounding area, this is an excellent choice.
I would happily stay here again and highly recommend Joe and Cathie's land to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable camping experience.

We spent 2 nights at Trapwell Farm and had such a great time, all despite the bad weather caused by the cyclone. Even though conditions weren’t ideal, we still managed to enjoy our stay so much! A huge thank you to Cathie and Joe for being so welcoming, helpful, and accommodating to our whole group — their kindness made all the difference. Highly recommend this lovely place!

Great open space to play with our dogs, there was plenty of distance between us and other campers.
We had the worst weather so we're keen to go back and enjoy a camp where we can sit outside and around the fire.
Camp hosts were responsive to texts and emails and we were greeted by Cathi on our arrival.

Great long weekend but poor weather

Met a the gate and taken to our site. Plenty of privacy with our nearest neighbour barely visible or heard.
Nothing fancy but what was expected.
Enjoyed our fire under the stars and beautiful full moon the 1st night.
Spoilt by a once in a decade storm (not our host fault) thank you for the check in Sunday
If you are self contained and want a break from everything well worth checking out.

Nice quiet spot to camp, Cathie was very friendly and gave us the rundown of the place after escorting us to our site.
Had a beaut lunch at the Jenna pub nearby and then the weather came in later that night so we left a day earlier than planned but will definitely be back.

Lovely property with so much space to ourselves. The farm owners were very kind and accommodating.
One of the best things about this campsite is that it's walking distance to an amazing country pub, Jenna's Tavern that we would have never discovered had it not been for this camping trip.
If you camp here just make sure you bring everything you need because it's a fair drive to the nearest town.
Highly recommended for those who love a camping trip that's private and really has that authentic old fashioned feel, just like a camping trip should be.

Nice little Easter getaway not too far from Perth. We were able to have a small fire and the dog enjoy the river. The camp sites were well spread out and it was nice and peaceful watching the parrots, listening to the CBH trains in the distance and this time of year there was minimal flys and mozzies. Perfect spot to recharge the batteries and switch off.

A last minute Easter camping weekend! Lots of space for the kids to ride their bikes and run around. 5 minutes from the Jenna Tavern - next time we will make sure we have a meal there! Thanks Joe and Cathie!

We had a fantastic stay at Joe and Cathie’s property. What really stood out was how peaceful and well-kept the land is—it feels like a proper escape from the busy world. The campsite itself was spacious and thoughtfully set up, with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
Joe and Cathie were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home without being intrusive. It’s clear they take pride in their land, and that shows in the little details—from the cleanliness of the area to how easy everything was to access.
The natural setting was definitely a highlight—beautiful views, fresh air, and a real sense of quiet. At night, the stars were amazing, and during the day it was perfect for unwinding and soaking in nature.
Overall, it’s a great spot if you’re looking for a relaxing, low-key camping experience. We’d happily come back and would recommend it to anyone wanting a peaceful getaway.

Lovely welcoming hosts, great spot, space to ourselves, short drive for a quick getaway and not a single mozzie! Highly recommend the Jenna Tavern nearby for an awesome meal and a great Aussie atmosphere with some interesting history. Thank you Cathie & Joe! 😁

Had a nice stay at Trapwell Farm. Joe and Cathie are lovely. The farm is beautiful. Cathie and Joe had great communication and were very flexible. The site was a good size and being by the river was nice. Was very thankful for the prewarning about the mosquito's. Our dogs loved running around and was great to have a place that accept off lead.

Secluded camping grounds and the camping sites are far from each other. The owners are very helpful! Just beware that there are lots mozzies this time of the year, so be prepared with insect repellants, mosquito nets, etc. Building a campfire definitely helped.

Breath-taking spot with our own private creek sanctuary! We loved camping with our young kids on this property, Cathie was very attentive with great communication with us. We enjoyed the space to ourselves (despite being peak season, we felt we had so much room with pleasant chatter of neighbours in the distance), the fact that we could have our own campfire at our site, and the beautiful scenery to explore - it was true bliss!

Not as described, Mosquito infected

I was really disappointed when we arrived at the site. The site we got was not next to the river (creek) as described and we had to drive thru wheat paddocks to get to the camp clearing, which had tall grass and was infested with mosquitos. To walk to the toilet we requested was about 150 meters. To go to the toilet we had to walk thru the wheat paddocks with the mosquitoes. We arrived and left 20 minutes later without being offer a refund or even a partial refund. While we talked to the host other campers also said that they are not staying there and left. Never again.

Cathie was an incredibly hospitable and welcoming host at Trapwell Farm. I was amongst several guests she escorted to her property and directed to our respective campsites, all spread a good distance apart. The property is picturesque and there's ample opportunity to explore. The recent rains meant there was an abundance of mozzies, which I was unprepared for, but Cathie instantly supplied me with some spray which I generously applied to keep them at bay. This was the only negative (the mozzies), and really just due to the time of year and abundance of recent rain.

Great spot! The hay bale site was a different camping experience to our usual bush camping.
Cathie and Joe were super responsive and clear with information and instructions with the camping experience. The heads up on mozzies was appreciated so we came well prepared!
The hay bale site is huge - loads of space within the hay bale circle, plus additional space on the outside. This would be the perfect spot for large groups. We loved having our own firepit and the bonus of having the wood delivered straight to site was awesome. The toilet was nice and close but nowhere near close enough that you could hear people walking back & forth, and the water tank right at the site was helpful for washing up water.
The kids had a great time heading out for walks and finding their own fun with a stick and tennis ball!
We had check ins from Joe each evening to make sure everything was OK and there was nothing we needed - this is such a great touch.
Recommend taking cash to peruse the goodies for sale down near the river site! The lemon butter was great on our morning pancakes :)

The river-side site we stayed in at Trapwell was absolutely beautiful! The river was very sweet and great for the kids to play in (in September), and we couldn't see any other campers from where we were despite the busy long weekend. Cathie was very helpful with her communications.
