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.

Little hidden gem of a place!
We had an amazing couple of days at mavericks rest on site 4. Amee and her family have really worked hard to make this place as it is today! The kids loved the special touch of the activites at each magical tree! Very relaxing with the fire in the evening and amazing sunsets! Big shout shout out to Emma Amee's daughter for the alpaca feeding and showing us their new farm shop! Well worth the visit and we hope to return soon to see how the big plans are coming along 😀

Great touring stop-over
Nice spot for a couple of nights while you explore the region around Peterborough. Set among pine trees on top of a hill near an old ruin, we found the site both peaceful and reasonably secure. Amee is doing a great job of creating a diversified business model for her farm and is an excellent host. We took advantage of the breakfast pack offer and consider it good value. They are working hard to improve their farm and their low-cost camping experience. We highly recommend Maverick's Rest as a great stop-over for any journey through that area.

Fantastic farm stay :)
The site was great, clean, level and secure. Fire pit was provided which was great. Kids enjoyed roaming around the site. We went and fed the Alpacas, which was lots of fun and very interesting. Well worth the visit, we would love to come back and see the amazing things that Amee has achieved on this farm.

This quiet little gem was the perfect spot to setup as base camp. Large sites made it easy with our 21ft van. Sunsets over the old ruins were amazing. The farm shop is definitely worth the visit. We will be back again for sure. A totally relaxing place even for the kids.
