McCabe Farm offers a spacious and relaxing camping experience just a short drive from Perth. Visitors consistently praise the flat, open sites and the ability to enjoy privacy even when others are around. The farm tour is a highlight, giving guests the chance to interact with a variety of friendly animals, which both kids and adults love. While some reviews mention minor noise from the nearby road, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many eager to return for another visit.

We needed a spot close to Perth for a quick overnighter to get a break. Found this and it looked ideal. Quick and easy to book. The camping area was easy to find, was so flat didn't even need to level the Van. Despite there being a few other campers, it was big enough that you had you own private space. We didn't make use of the Farm Tour but did see them come and pick other campers up. Will be going back again for sure.

We enjoyed a great night camped at McCabe. My 5 y/O enjoyed exploring the paddocks. Highly recommend the farm tour and getting to milk the Goat. We'll visit again.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

Tent

Lachlan's farm was a wonderful place to stay. Getting to the farm, and finding a site was easy. Plenty of space (even on a long weekend!) so you're not on top of other campers. I could not believe how incredible the stars were, which I did not expect just two hours from Perth. If you're lucky enough to get a clear night on your stay, you're in for a treat. The farm tour is an absolute MUST! You'll meet cows, sheep, alpacas, goats and maybe even baby goats!! And most importantly, the friendliest, smoochiest doggo's. Be sure to check out York on the way home (back to Perth) if you didn't get a chance on the way in. The Good Life Store has lot's of yummy treats and locally sourced produce and goods. Barclay Books is one of the most iconic bookstores I've ever had the chance to visit, a must for even the occasional reader. Lachlan's farm is the perfect spot if you're wanting to get away and disconnect; but also if you want to check out the local surrounds, which have plenty to offer. Thanks again Lachlan!

Sites were easy to find. The tree edges were a nice privacy screen too. Lovely little camp for a night away!
