    Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.
    Nomadic camping
    Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
    Park up along the Preston River and enjoy a peaceful stay. Nestled in the heart of the south west, you are a day trip to away from all the major attractions. We are only 7 mins to the beautiful townsite of Donnybrook for all your necessities and home to the famous Apple Fun Park. There are no facilities here, campers must be self contained and leave no trace. The local farm animals will be happy to say hello with the sheep, two resident goats Tabitha & Jenny and the horses Holly, Fifi & Delwyn. ​Pets are welcome, but please be mindful we have stock and will not tolerate dogs chasing them. Please keep on a leash. Only friendly pets allowed. There is a timber table under the new hut.​​Park up along the Preson River and enjoy a peaceful stay.  Nestled in the heart of the south west, you are a day trip to away from all the major attractions.

    Beautiful place to relax!
    6 m travel trailer · With kids
    Family had a great time!!! Lovely flat ground by the stream for a 22ft caravan. Pump track looked great but didn't take the bikes however other kids looked to be having a great time. The hammocks provided in the shaded area were a wonderful place to relax (lost the kids because they were happily relaxing together in the hammocks which is rare for teenagers). One of the sheep was very friendly and came up to say hello which delighted everyone 😀 Kids (including hubby) explored the stream but no good for swimming or fishing that time of year. Imagine it would be great with higher water level. The location description had it listed as Bunbury but was actually past Donnybrook so had a curve ball there but for our first time using HipCamp we know to ask now. Access to the site was easy but suggest a spotlight to help scope out a spot to park if attending after dark and it's pitch black (made stargazing easy though). Host Renee was fantastic answering all my silly questions! Totally worth the trip and glad we found this little farm spot!! Definitely go there with the extended family some time. Thanks for a lovely restful weekend 😀

    We loved that there were a couple of power points albeit expensive an extra $25 per night. The paddock was large even though for some reason some people feel its ok to park on top of you. It was a very peaceful place with plenty of space for kids to ride bikes safely with disturbing anyone else. The disappointment was not being able to access the river without a difficult climb out.

    Paddock camping at its best.

    We loved the Beelerup River Stay and definitely will go again. The sites are spread out and on the river bank. Peaceful and quiet. Close to Donnybrook.
