    Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.
    At Bluegums Farm, 2km outside of Bordertown, you'll be surrounded by animals with supervised interaction with clydesdale horses, camels, sheep, cows and occasionally puppies! At certain times of the year the clydesdales will be in harness putting on a draught display. Campers are set up in a large open area, with both grassy and sandy options, suitable for tents and caravans/campers, with some areas more off-road and private than others. Upon arrival, you are welcome to choose your spot. As well as plenty to do on and around the property, there is a great bike track from the farm into Bordertown town, and we are also just walking distance from the town pool. We have no facilities here so you need to be self-sufficient with your own toilet. We do however provide firewood for the campfire. You are also welcome to bring your pet along, so long as they're kept under control and don't disturb our animals.At Bluegums Farm, 2km outside of Bordertown, you'll be surrounded by animals with supervised interaction with clydesdale horses, camels, baby goats, sheep, cows and occasionally puppies!

    Loved our one night stay here. We were on our own and Linda was very patient with our girls feeding the camels. Would definitely stay again.
