Yerrinbool is 1 hour from Sydney and a great spot to spend a weekend away, 15 mins from Bowral and 10 mins to Mittagong
There are animals on the farm including ducks, chickens, goats, sheep and sometimes even baby cows.
The property does need a little clean up but the rear of the property is nice and tranquil. We are directly next to the HWY so sometimes there is road noise, but it's a great location for an easy stopover. Easy access for caravans, keeping in mind the weather as like in all areas it becomes soft when wet.
Please note, while we do permit more than one car per site booking, we only allow 1 caravan per site. So if you are in a group with more than 1 caravan, you will need to book multiple sites. Any questions, please let us know.
We have Fire Pits in key locations around the farm PLEASE DO NOT move them as they signify each spot for camping. They have allocated spots and we do not need them moved.
We also have a toilet in a small cabin close to the house for people who are using tents and water if you're required to fill your tanks or rinse off.
We have two dams with yabbies you are welcome to collect. If you do collect some please be respectful in the amounts you collect and also throw some raw meat and or frozen veggies like peas and corn into the dam to provide food for the others to grow.
Firewood is available to purchase at time of booking - see Extras.
Yerrinbool Animal Farm is a convenient spot for a quick overnight stay, especially if you're traveling along the highway. The campsite offers easy access and plenty of space, with the bonus of friendly farm animals adding a touch of charm. However, the proximity to the highway means noise can be an issue, and some guests found the facilities lacking in maintenance. Overall, it's a mixed bag, appreciated for its accessibility but criticized for being overpriced and not as serene as some might hope.
A group of us recently stayed here for a night as we went to A Day on the Green in Bowral. Great for a one night stay, and insanely good value (when divided by the group) but wouldn’t recommend for a leisurely camp trip. The noise from the Hume hwy is so loud and does make for a tricky sleep. 25 min walk to the train station. Toilets were nice and clean but with no flush or toilet paper. But great spacious flat spots, (even if the camp was full you would still be far from the group next to you), big fire pits and friendly cute cows!
We enjoyed being so close to the animals, we met Michael and he was a lovely man lived and owned the property. The cows were so gorgeous and we were have never been able to be so close to them before.
Exactly what I was looking for. A patch of grass close to the freeway for a one night stopover.
No real issues except price. This really should be no more than $20 a night.
Disappointed to find previous reviews were entirely accurate and the Hipcamp description quite misleading! Despite advising we would be arriving late around 8pm, there was no communication back from the host so when we rocked up, it wasn’t very clear where we should park up and then we realised site 2 was in a paddock with long grass and a tight gateway that wasn’t easily accessible with our 19ft van. Being located so close to the highway is both a blessing for a quick overnight stop and a curse with the noise next level. We’ve been to many Hipcamps that are better value than this.
