With 1800 acres of working Beef and Hay country on Somerset Dam, Stanley House is sure to be on the bucket list of places to stay. Plenty of sites for camping from simple swag, tents to caravan and trailer, even enough space to bring your boat to launch in Somerset Dam from the spit. All sites are accessible by 2wd and come with optional portable toilets. Neatly mowed and maintained flat grass on all sites with a firepit to enjoy the warmth and comfort of home away from home. Farm sourced fire wood can be purchased as well as eggs year round and home grown produce available seasonally. Potable water available on request and when in high supply as we are on rain catchment. We have amazing waterfront views and kayaks available to access the dam for an afternoon of exploring. With a short hike along a cut grass path to our lookout over the dam, once there take the time to light the fire pit and watch the sun sink over the hills. Stanley House is a working family farm and not a 4WD park so we appreciate the respect for our land by keeping vehicles parked by your site and moved only to leave the property. Rubbish is to be removed by campers. Boat launching is prohibited from the property, however the spit is directly opposite the property and a short drive away. As we have an abundance of animals on the farm, we ask that you kindly leave yours at home. We look forward to sharing this special place with you and hope it is a place for many return camping trips.

Great spot, well maintained property and friendly host, lovely views all round. There was a bit of noise from the jet skis opposite launching from the spit but they were only there during the day (we stayed on a long weekend so traffic may have been busier than normal), it did provide some entertainment though. No dam access from the Arch Hill site as you are up high on a cliff - hence the amazing views in all directions. The site felt private.

Our camping experience at Stanley House with Elise and her family was nothing but perfection! We had such a wonderful time. Elise was such a lovely host, so accommodating. The farm was just beautiful and our spot on the Green was spectacular. Our kids had so much room to play and explore, we fed the cows who visited us daily and got to sit back and take in the views of the dam. We will definitely be back.

10/10 stay - can not wait to be back! My partner and I were so pleased with our stay with Elise. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, with stunning views of the mountains and a serene lake close by. The land was clean and well-maintained, making our stay comfortable. Elise was incredibly friendly and helpful. The peaceful atmosphere made it perfect for relaxation and unwinding. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a beautiful getaway in nature!
