Situated between Goulburn and the rural village Crookwell is the Yurtfarm. Mike Shepherd has been running Back to Basics living camps here for more then 30 years and we now want to invite campers to our picturesque Yurt village. We can show kids what farm life is all about and how to make fun in the bush or you can just come and enjoy the peace and quiet. Apart from abundant wildlife we farm sheep and Scottish Highland cattle. We also have lots of horses and dogs and you can collect fresh eggs from our chickens. Take a stroll through our gardens, a hike to the Peace yurt and boil the Billy or learn about growing vegetables. We have toilets and a kitchen yurt for your convenience. We look forward to meeting you!

We had a great time at the yurt farm. The kids loved farmer Mike and the activities, meeting the animals and riding on the trailer of the tractor. Camping between the yurts is nice, however the facilities are a little run down. Still highly recommend.

Yurt village

What an amazing and quirky place. The kids (and adults) loved exploring all that this amazing place has to offer. From the rope swings and flying foxes, to the woodworking yurt to playing games in the lounge yurt. Mike was an amazing host, who provided so much educational content about the farm, animals, growing vegetables, art. The facilities such as toilet and kitchen are basic, but enough for camping. Showers are cold water, but again you’re not there for luxury but to be in nature and learn about the simple life! Highly recommend and we can’t wait to come back. Thank you Judith and Mike!

Mural Yurt

Staying at the Yurtfarm is a delight! What a warm welcome we received - and so many extra thoughtful things like a string art activity for the kids to do in the Workshop, touring the farm by tractor with the indefatigable Mike, visiting the henhouse for eggs and exploring the yurts. It best suits people who like to pitch in, participate and go beyond just hanging in your tent.
