Located 5 minutes from the Forrest Highway and less than 10 minutes' drive to the beautiful and popular Herron Point. The farm offers the country lifestyle without travelling for hours. With 54 acres of native bush and pasture, a beautiful dam with an island combined with an abundance of natural wildlife. Come and enjoy the delights.
The campsites are private with a fire pit provided and you are welcome to collect wood from around the property. Fires are prohibited between 1st Dec and 31st March inclusive.
While the main entrance is on Old Bunbury Road, most campsites are accessed from Dutchman Road. We have invested monies earnt back into the sites by way of limestone all weather tracks, fire pits and irrigation for the warmer months which also helps to mitigate the risk and impact of bushfires.
The Northern half of the property is a combination of pasture and native trees, while the Southern half is native bush. Guests are welcome to roam the entire property with the exception of the owner's residence and sheds.
This campsite is a favorite among visitors for its spacious sites, peaceful environment, and close proximity to natural attractions like Preston Beach and Herron Point. The presence of friendly animals like emus and alpacas adds a unique charm to the stay. The host, Paul, is consistently praised for being welcoming and helpful, ensuring a pleasant camping experience. However, some guests noted the lack of complete privacy between sites and the occasional noise from sprinklers.
Easy to find with precise directions. A unique experience with their two pet emus hanging around our site. A perfect blend of shade v direct sunlight. With a little more natural vegetation screening between each site, it would be absolutely perfect. We will be back
Lovely farm escape for the weekend. Paul was great and sent us everything we needed to know beforehand for getting there and making the most of our stay. He came by to say hi and was very welcoming when we arrived.
Our campsite was nice and secluded by the trees with views of the alpacas in the field next door.
The emus came by to visit a few times and we enjoyed a walk around the campsite in the morning between all the beautiful trees
We had a fantastic time at Herron Point Farm Stay. It was easily accessible, clean and with plenty of space away from other campers. Paul was extremely accomodating and friendly.
It was great to see the animals roaming around the property too.
We would absolutely recommend staying here, and hope to stay again ourselves!
We had a great night stay at Emu’s Run (Camp 4). Huge site, lots of shade in the afternoon, animals water trough was right next to the site which meant we had lots of visits from all the animals. Paul introduced himself to all the campers in the evening which was nice to get the chance to have a chat with him and learn more about the farm and his animals. You couldn’t go wrong with booking any of the sites here as they are all well spaced apart. Our toddler in particular loved getting to see the free roaming farm animals up close and personal, something that you don’t typically get to experience in other camps and having so much area to run around and burn off some energy with lots to explore. Paul has done a fantastic job at setting up the sites, offering lots of fire wood for guests to collect when fire season is open, we will definitely be back then for another visit.
Great big camp spots, especially flat and good ground under the Paperbark tree. A friendly welcome from Paul who had also kindly been flexible about the date. The emu were very inquisitive which was lovely!
