Nestled within the picturesque Karuah River catchment area, Fernbrook is a working poultry and cattle farm, set over eight peaceful acres, and just five km away from the historic Stroud township. Spend evenings around the firepits (when fire restrictions are not in place), roasting marshmallows and stargazing under the night sky. Mornings are filled with the melodies of birds and wildlife, allowing you to truly reconnect with nature. Encounter local Red Necked Wallabies, Eastern Grey Roos, and the occasional Echidna. A haven for birdwatchers, the area teems with bird life, including King Parrots, Eastern and Crimson Rosellas, Kookaburras, Yellow Tailed and Glossy Black Cockatoos, satin bowerbirds, and various honey eaters. Mill Creek, which runs through the property, offers Bass fishing and summertime paddling and swimming opportunities. There is a short walking trail along the eastern bank of the creek to another small picnic area. Keep in mind this trail was created by and is shared with the local wildlife. Adventure awaits just minutes from our property, as kilometers of public bush tracks cater to hiking and mountain biking enthusiasts. Alternatively, explore the charm of Stroud, with its country pub, golf club, shops, cafes, and free public swimming pool. Local conveniences include our friendly country butcher and IGA supermarket. With roots dating back to the late 1820s, Stroud boasts a rich history as the headquarters of the Australian Agricultural Company. Join us each July for the renowned Stroud Brick throwing competition! The camping area is caravan-friendly, but mindful access during wet weather is crucial to preserving the landscape. Fernbrook welcomes your furry companions too but requires dogs to be supervised and leashed at all times for their safety and that of our livestock. Leaving dogs off-leash may lead to eviction without refund, and any harm to livestock or dogs must be avoided. Basic amenities include a toilet (please bring your own environmentally friendly toilet paper) and shower. Campers may use our rainwater to fill their tanks, and hot water connections are available, with campers providing their own gas bottles. A small kitchenette equipped with a sink, cupboards, microwave, and power outlets for fry pans is available, with clear labeling of personal belongings. We provide firepits for your enjoyment and offer firewood upon request for a fee. Alternatively, campers may bring their own firewood. Please remember to take all waste with you upon departure.The designated camping area is set on a beautiful area of the property, overlooking the creek, with plenty of space to choose your own private nook. There is easy access for vehicles and caravans, keeping in mind the weather, as in all areas it becomes soft when wet. Campers must stay within the designated camping area whilst on the property, remembering Fernbrook is a working poultry and cattle farm, but there is plenty to enjoy in this area of the property and also lots to do in the local area. Campfires are permitted in the provided firepits dotted around the camping area, and you are welcome to purchase firewood onsite or BYO firewood. Please note fires are not permitted when local restrictions are in place. The camping spots are at most 200m walking distance from the toilet and shower. There is a small kitchenette with sink, cupboards, microwave and power outlets for fry pans, etc. Any items left in this area must be clearly labeled with owners name etc. Please bring your own environmentally friendly toilet paper. There is rainwater if required to fill your tanks, and hot water connections are available however campers must supply their own gas bottles. Fernbrook is pet friendly but please supervise at all times, keep dogs on a leash for their own safety. If dogs are seen off leash you may be asked to leave, and there will be no refund of any payments. Dogs chasing livestock may result in the livestock or the dog being injured. We kindly ask that you take all waste with you on departure.

We loved our stay at Fernbrook. Brett was an amazing host and was very accomodating when we had to change dates a few times. We heard he has good wood for fires which we will get next time we come. Having only camped at caravan parks it was nice to have such a big open space. We set up near one of the fire pits which was close to the bathroom. The bathroom is well maintained and does the job. We will certainly be back, Brett has some amazing plans for the venue and we are excited to experience them.

Rodeo Camping.
Brett’s place was so good. Well kept land and plenty of room for all the campers. Great spot not far from town but far enough to relax in the peace and quiet. Definitely one spot we will be back to.

Quite very clean property to stay at. Easy to get a caravan into. Brett was very easy to deal with and checked in each day with us to make sure we were ok. Would highly recommend

Great little spot. Grounds were very well maintained, fresh oranges and limes available when in season, which is very nice. Absolutely breathtaking creek running behind. Shower, toilet and kitchenette were great to have, just don't forget to bring an extra gas bottle if you want a hot shower.

Camping with family and family pet
Lovely lil quaint quiet campspot, by the creek. Clean facilities, lots of room to still have a quiet spot with others also camping. Loved the gentle walk by the creek, also the fruit trees. Close to Stroud township, and 40 mins to Gloucester - recommend Rocky Crossing for swim/picnic. Listen out to the calling of birdlike at night. Brett a wonderful Host
