Hectic Valley Farm is located at Mutchilba on 100 acres within the beautiful Atherton Tablelands, North Queensland. Spacious campsites are beside or near a massive dam that attracts a great variety of bird life and the amazing sunsets are different each day. 🌅 Three spacious spots are available a few short meters from the edge of a large dam (sites can be seen from the farm road) with another completely secluded site amongst the bushland. Bird watchers dream with the constant residents and seasonal birds flying in for the dam. Swim, kayak, catch and release fish, throw in a RedClaw pot or hunt for mussel clams. Do some hiking or 4 wheel driving around the hundred acres with our 4 wheel driving tracks. Meet the Farm Animals where campers can chat with the menagerie of animals we have on the farm such as Clydesdale horses, camels, sheep, cows, chickens, buffalo, peafowl, ducks and friendly geese. Hold newly hatched poultry, friendly chickens and maybe even lambs. Bookings are essential come by the farmhouse and meet at the gazebo. We are 10mins from Dimbulah or 20mins to Mareeba with their many attractions. We can tell you all about the many attractions and activities this area has to offer. Please Note: Cattle Creek and Waterfront Campsites are accessible by 2WD. The other campsites are 4WD access only and with off road campers/caravans only (high clearance to get through a dry creek crossing). These are self contained sites so please take your own shower and toilet facilities and take away all waste. Well behaved dogs are allowed but must be supervised at all times for the protection of the sheep, poultry, wildlife and not to be brought to the house yard. Sorry no motorbikes or ATV’s. We have a wet season (December to March) and dry season (September to December) choose your ideal times to stay. For more info on us visit our website. www.hecticvalleyfarm.com.au

Great getaway spot!
Great spot for a quick getaway camping trip. The waterfront campsite was beautiful. We really enjoyed meeting all the animals, they're all much loved and well cared for. Kirsty was welcoming, helpful and her passion for the animals was obvious. Would recommend.

Water Lily Campsite
Large, open space with plenty of room for the campers and the swags. Felt safe camping on our own as 2 women with kids. Dam was nice and close and was an easy walk to the homestead for the animal feeding. Thanks Kirsty!

Waterfront Campsite
I think the waterfront site, was the pick of the sites at Hectic Farm. Kirsty met us as we arrived and handed over some lovely fresh eggs which were lovely! The farm had loads of animals and bird to admire and listen to.

Cattle Creek Campsite
Not like the listing description
The site was small, nothing like the pictures. The dam was dirty and we didn’t see any wildlife or animals apart from birds. We were next to the driveway so cars were constantly going past us and dust would blow into our site. The cost was up there given the lack of privacy and size.
