    We grow and process organic certified medicinal herbs and plants. The camping site is located in a beautiful location overlooking the lavender fields, in bloom december/january, with the ever-changing Mt Roland in the background. On days with cold southerly winds, alternative campingsites are available on the farm. Please contact us to find out. Includes use flushing toilet, hot shower and laundry (external access). Approx. 300m from the campsite. We are pet friendly. We've got room for up to 5 separate bookings. Due to shortage of personnel, we can no longer offer the farm tours. Hope this will change coming season 2024/25. But hipcampers are welcome to have a walk on the farm. We are working together with other organic certified farmers. They lease parts of our land to grow vegetables. Hipcampers are welcome to have a walk around their crops as well. Big news: we have started to build a tearoom with possibilities to organise herbal workshops and give education about growing and using medicinal herbs. . It will also have a shop and space to enjoy light refreshments, organic coffee, chocolate, juice and herbal tea. Extra bathroomfacilities will be available to our hipcampers only.

    Marleen's campsite offers a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views of Mount Roland. Visitors consistently praise the cleanliness and convenience of the amenities, including a well-maintained bathroom and shower. The hosts, Marleen and Ronald, are noted for their warm hospitality, providing thoughtful touches like fresh eggs and a cozy waiting area near the bathroom. While the walk to facilities can be a bit lengthy, the serene environment and opportunity to explore a working herb farm make the stay worthwhile.

    Lovely peaceful paddock with picturesque views over farming land towards Mt Roland. Sheffield 5-mins, and Barrington swimming location 10-mins away. We’ll love to stay again.

    Had a wonderful time camping at Marleen’s place. The stars were amazing and she was so kind, even leaving eggs out for us one morning from her chickens! Such a beautiful corner of the world, thank you for sharing Marleen!

    Marleen & Ronald's Hipcamp was exactly what I was looking! Beautiful vistas of Mt Roland, excellent facilities including shower and toilet, and I purchased some lavender to take home with me. Thank you! I will be back!

    You’ll have magnificent views of Mount Roland and a chance to wander through a working herb farm on the way to the bathroom!
