Bolinda Vale Farm

Located on the foothills of the Darling Range in Keysbrook Western Australia, Bolinda Vale Farm is a real working farm breeding Beef cattle and Merino sheep which has been in the same family since 1926.

We offer neat nature based campsites in the gully and all campsites are on the banks of the babbling Dirk Brook with a good distance between campsites for privacy.

A great property to reconnect with country 

Please note, to get to the campsites there is a farm track and for most, a creek crossing. 

We recommend 4WD or SUV to access ALL campsites.

Perfect place for caravans, camper trailers, rooftop tents, tents, swags, vans to various campsites.

There are horses and Scottish Highland cattle that usually greet you near the main entrance, and sheep and cattle graze the hill country and surrounds. 

Plenty more for nature lovers here, including red-tailed cockatoos that flock to the gully to feed on the Marri trees, plus many other birds. 

The resident Wedge-tail eagles soar above making the most of the thermals created from the hills and the local kangaroos

 

Dogs are welcome but must remain on leads at ALL times as this is a working farm. 

You MUST bring your own camping toilet and be COMPLETELY 100% self sufficient with everything including drinking water

We have a Leave No Trace policy, so ask that you please take all waste with you. 

Strictly No Pre Booking tours of campsites allowed, a good description and photos of each campsite is available online.

ALL campers are to be booked in prior to arriving at the farm.
No entry for extra campers on day of arrival if not booked in as they will not be permitted to enter the property

STRICTLY NO DAY VISITORS ALLOWED

Campfires permitted when local government restrictions aren't in place. PLEASE NOTE At times Bolinda Vale Farm management may reinforce their own fire restrictions, as we know the vegetation and lay of the land in the gully

Chittering Acres

We are closed until further notice while we deal with legal issues. Fingers crossed that we'll be back up and running by Easter '25. Cheers, Andrew.
We live on a picturesque 700 acre property, high in the Darling Range an hour north of Perth. The property overlooks Lake Chittering with sweeping views to the horizon.

The native bush here is typical of the Darling Ranges, featuring
Jarrah, Marri, Wandoo, Xanthorea and Banksia.

Fed by the mighty Brockman river, the pretty Chittering Lake is almost completely obscured by vegetation. The lake features lots of birdlife including swans, wood ducks, spoonbills and wedgetail eagles.

The Chittering valley has much to offer including scenic walks and local cellar doors. The springtime is full of the region's wildflowers, and if you're visiting around October don't miss A Taste of Chittering, the food and wine festival showcasing local produce.

We have a number of campsites on offer for your relaxing holiday.

Campfires

Jacaranda Hill Farm

We are closed from 1 Dec through to 31 March due to High Fire Risk.

Our 43-hectare property is on the edge of the Darling Scarp behind the historical Fairbridge Village. Only 1 hour south of Perth, so it is close enough for a quick weekend getaway but far enough to enjoy the silence of the bush.

There are elevated campsites with views west towards Mandurah and the Peel Estuary, northwest views toward Perth City, and three dams on the property.

Guests must be fully self-contained, as no toilets or showers are available. Just amazing views :)

Some locations are suitable for tents only, and some for caravans only. 4WD/AWDs are recommended as most sites are not easily accessible with a 2WD vehicle, especially during winter.

Dog friendly. Campfires are permitted in designated areas with the host's approval (depending on fire restrictions).

We are closed over the summer period due to increased fire risk.

100-Acre Woods

We are a hobby farm set on 100-acres on the North Dandalup scarp, with a few sheep. You will find kangaroos, echidnas, sometimes emus visiting our property.

You can enjoy the great views into the horizon towards the Indian Ocean amidst the tall jarrah and gum trees. Campsites are set in the woodlands, some with views.

It’s perfect for people seeking 'quiet' time away, but still near to amenities in the towns around here. You can take walks to experience forest therapy, have a campfire or canoe in the dams during wintertime.

There is no power, water or toilet facilities so campers must be completely self-contained. You are expected to clear up and take all rubbish with you. Leave no trace.

The terrain is rather hilly, hence a few sites are accessible only by 4WD (Sembawang and Changi). There are some sites that are still accessible with regular cars (Opera 1, 2 or 3; Tampines, Bedok). RVs and small caravans are welcomed. All vehicles have to stay on the paths, and not to make any tracks. 

The gravel road leading to our property is shared with neighbours who run horses. As such, please drive really slowly here so as not to cause the horses to bolt.

During the summer fire season, fires are strictly prohibited! 

Dogs welcome (on leash).

Raptor Retreat

Welcome to Raptor Retreat, on the doorstep of Whiteman Park. It’s the perfect location if you love birds, in particular Raptors. 

The campsite is located at the back of the 5 acres property on solid ground. The area surrounding the campsite is farm land but beyond the fence is 4000 hectares of native bushland. Plenty of areas for bushwalking or photography. 

The property is home to the WA Birds of Prey Rehabilitation and educational centre. 

 The Swan Valley is only a short drive when you can experience local wines and produce.

Campers must be either self sufficient with their own camping toilet and take all waste with them on departure when located at the back of the property. 

Alternatively,  at the front of the property, toilets and bins are available. 

Campfires are only permitted at certain times of the year, please check with your host before lighting a fire.

Please contact me regarding pets.
