Set amongst the gum trees and kangaroos, a beautiful break from suburban life. Nestled right in between the Barossa and the Adelaide Hills, fun places to explore are not too far away. Springton is the home of the historic Herbig Family Tree; in 1855 Mr Herbig and his wife lived in this tree and welcomed 2 of their 16 children whilst living inside the tree. We offer a wide grassy area peppered with trees, ideal for a relaxing spacious camp. No toilet facilities onsite so campers must be self-contained. Our site is located along the Lavender Federation Walking Trail. 7km from Springton General Store where you can pick up all basic supplies including fuel and simple takeaway meals, or Springton pub across the road has pub meals. 25 mins to Angaston (with the Barossa Valley Cheese Company) and the wider Barossa area. 30 mins the other direction to Woodside (where you will find Melba’s chocolate factory) and the greater Adelaide hills. 25mins to the Birdwood Motor Museum 30mins to the Big Rocking Horse in Gumeracha where you can climb the Big Rocking Horse for $2. 15km to Eagle View 4WD Track (Sanderston) If you’re here on a Saturday morning the Mount Pleasant Farms Markets (8am-12), 10 mins down the road is a great place to pick up some fresh produce and a coffee. Mannum Waterfalls - 30 mins drive is a beautiful spot for a walk.Pitch a tent or pull up with your caravan. Whilst we do accept multiple bookings at a time, there is plenty of space on the wide grassy area to find a private nook. You’re welcome to have a fire in designated areas if the fire season permits. Please bring your own wood (you are welcome to collect small sticks from the ground for kindling). All campers must be self-contained, with their own camp toilet and we kindly request you take all waste when you go. Set quite away from the main farmhouse you will have your own privacy. There are a few resident kangaroos that you might see hopping around. Dogs are welcome on a lead, as we have livestock. Play kitchen items set up to entertain the kids, please leave them as you found them for the next visitor. 7km from Springton General Store where you can pick up all basic supplies including fuel and simple takeaway meals, or Springton pub across the road has pub meals. 25 mins to Angaston (with the Barossa Valley Cheese Company) and the wider Barossa area. 30 mins the other direction to Woodside (where you will find Melba’s chocolate factory) and the greater Adelaide hills. 25mins to the Birdwood Motor Museum 30mins to the Big Rocking Horse in Gumeracha where you can climb the Big Rocking Horse for $2.

Great little spot and easy to find. First time our dogs were close to cows. Cows were friendly and chill which made it easier for us!

Very relaxing spot. Cows are very friendly. Have to be self sufficient and note there is no phone service with either Telstra or Optus. Close to some lovely towns.

Hows the serenity!

We really enjoyed the open space of the farm. It was peaceful and the young cows were very friendly. It is central to a lot of local attractions. I loved that it was dog friendly. There was loads of firewood available around the beautiful old gum trees. Loads of bird life aswell. It was very dry, with no grass when we went. The farm was easy to find with gate signage from the street BUT the internal farm signs had all blown over so we didn't know where to go once in the property. There needs to be a sturdy sign on arrival. I was a little disappointed that Sam never came down to introduce herself and welcome us. Her husband did come and let us know he would be shooting on the property and he was friendly enough. I would suggest lowering the price a little, because there is no internet and no facilities. The road in may be tricky in the wet season, being a dirt road with a lot of pot holes. Thanks for having us. With a bit of tweeking, this could be a gorgeous experience for all. We had a good time.

Great spot .. lots of birds

Just spent 4 nights on Sam's farm and it was very relaxing. Beautiful and quiet, the cows came to visit, as did the family dog and hubby. Was just out of fire season so we couldn't have a fire but I reckon if you could it would be perfect. Will be back when it's a bit greener and we can have a fire. The family was very accommodating. The land is flat and we didn't need to level our RV much at all.
