Welcome to Maverick's Rest, a serene escape tucked away on the outskirts of Peterborough, South Australia, and connected with our working alpaca farm and newly planted lavender paddocks. Only 700m off the main Petersburg Road (entry off Dawson Road), Our bush campsites offer a blend of natural beauty, rustic charm, and unforgettable experiences, with each carefully positioned amongst old native pines, offering views of both sunrise and sunset, along with views of open farmland, distant hills, and animals doing their thing. Each site features a level pad to keep you out of the dirt and the prickles, while defining your spot. There are also firepits and bins on each site. We currently require all campers to be fully self-contained, providing their own toilet, water, and power for a true off-grid experience. We are a work-in-progress and constantly chipping away at making things even better! The centrepiece of the campsite is an absolutely stunning stone ruin. We wish the walls could talk to tell us its story! We are currently working on making this space accessible to all our guests - with a communal fire pit and seating areas opening soon. In the mean time fell free to have a look through, it makes for gorgeous photos. Want more? - Add on an Alpaca Meet and Greet Experience, where you can meet and hand-feed our friendly alpaca herd, capturing selfies and learning fascinating facts about these amazing creatures. We are a working alpaca farm and during this experience you will meet our alpacas, llamas, camels and naughty pig! Book here as an add-on for a discounted rate and to have this experience outside of our normal opening hours if you are travelling through on days our Farm Shop is closed. Late afternoon is always a busy time with feeding all the different animals and you and the kids could be involved in that if you wish as part of this experience. - Indulge in our breakfast pack, featuring farm-fresh eggs, bacon, and yummy sausages from our award winning butcher. Planning a group getaway? Take advantage of our group booking options and have the entire camp to yourselves, accommodating up to 8-10 vehicles for an exclusive retreat. Get in touch with us to find out more about these options. We are pet-friendly, however, please note that all animals must be supervised and kept on a lead at all times. As a working farm, we kindly ask that you refrain from allowing your animals to interact with ours for everyone's safety and peace of mind. Only 2.5km from the centre of the main street, use us as a base to explore Peterborough and surrounds. Escape the ordinary and create lasting memories at Maverick's Rest as you travel through our region! PS: We have a number of very very special and fun trees in the stand of old trees around the camp sites. You may come across them during your stay! More details are sent through to you after booking. PPS: Maverick was the name of our favourite stud male alpaca, and the dad to many of our babies. He was on TV, in weddings and the star of many a photo shoots. A true character, you would have loved him - just like we hope you love this campsite.

WOW! What an awesome stay this was. Camped up next to an old ruin homestead, animals in the paddock across to keep the kids entertained and the touch of firepits added into each site makes it that little bit more comfortable. Will definitely be returning again soon.

Lovely stop over
This is a great stop over spot. It was just off the main road, easy to find and easy access to the sites which were all very large and partly shaded. The ruin was lovely. There were fire pits and some wood to get us started. A really great spot.

Peaceful haven
We really enjoyed staying at Mavericks rest. After spending 3 nights at the Mundi Mundi festival, this location was a perfect slice of peace and serenity, beautiful views, sunrises and sunsets. We had a morning walk around the property with our dog and saw the cows and camels. Amee supplied some firewood and kindling and the bin at our campsite was also an added bonus. The directions were clear and it was really easy to find. We would definitely recommend this spot to other travellers 👍🏼
