Come and camp on our sustainable yabbie farm! A 500-acre property that sits on an aquifer with unlimited fresh water. We have seven plus sites available for self-contained campers. You will need to be self-sufficient and leave no trace. You can pick your own spot and there is plenty of space - so you can be as secluded as you wish! All flat area We offer a yabbie catching experience, contact us first for availability, $30 per person. There are lots of bird species and wildlife here, as well as sheep roaming around. You are welcome to enjoy a controlled campfire, and there is free firewood available. Fresh water available. The property is located 12kms from the township of Wilmington, a sleepy country town boasting panoramic views (both Hancock's Lookout and Horrocks Pass) and some impressive walking trails through the Flinders Ranges in the area. In Wilmington, you will find a pub, a general store, coffeeshop and a variety of museums and a dumping spot. We, your hosts, Anjo and Rob, live pretty much self-sufficient here - with solar power, water, vegetables, fruit, eggs, chicken meat, sheep meat, yabbies and marron. Everything is recycled, and nothing goes to waste - what we and the chickens and the sheep don’t eat will go to the compost/worm farm. The compost is reused in the veggie garden, excess eggs are boiled and fed to the yabbies and chooks, excess veggies will go to chooks, ducks and sheep. We grow carrots to feed to the yabbies. It’s a great lifestyle and we love it! Our farm is a great homebase to explore the Flinders. Explore the views and walks around Mount Remarkable, Mount Maria and Mount Brown, as well as the amazing sunrises and sunsets and starry night sky. There is an abundance of nearby hiking and biking opportunities including Alligator Gorge. Seasonal farm produce available on request. Options available for longer stays. If you would like to have a hands-on experience on a sustainable farm you could stay for free for 2 weeks (we can be flexible) in return for some caretaking while we visit our grandkids on Kangaroo Island. Jobs would be feeding animals, collect eggs and water vegetables. Contact us if you are interested in caretaking. Hope to meet you all.Come and camp on our sustainable yabbie farm!

Easy to find and good choice of sites to choose from. Nice level ground and fire pit on site. Met with Rob, who was lovely to talk to. Peaceful camping area, would recommend.

Great spot, fantastic host.

We rolled in last minute and Anjo was very accommodating. Great communication too! We received good directions and the camping spots were easy to find. Lovely spot. By coincidence there was a lightning storm brewing in the distance and given the amazing views we simply watched the lightning in the sky in the distance. Property is very well maintained. Fire pits and plenty of water available.

Wow! What an amazing experience and warm welcome we received courtesy of Anjo. The site was large enough for our two motorhomes and although there were other campers around it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The yabby experience was wonderful and enjoyed by all in our group (from 4 years old to 60+!) and Anjo took the time to show us how it all worked, included the kids and cooked us breakfast. A must do if you are in the area.

We loved the site we stayed on, the property was so nice to explore. Anjo and Rob were lovely, Rob showed us around the veggie farm and his yabbies. It was a bonus having the bathtub on our site with fresh running water. We definitely recommend this place for a quiet peaceful stay! Thank you again!

Beautiful sunsets pure serenity

Hosts were very friendly and directions were easy to follow. Stunning sunsets and the outdoor bath was refreshing on a hot afternoon. A little disappointed that our hosts had an unplanned appointmentthat they were required to attend so we couldn't do the sustainable farming and yabbie experience but if we ever back this way we will definitely stay again and book the experience.

We had the most beautiful stay here at the Yabbie Farm. The sunsets and sunrises are just amazing & my kids absolutely loved the invitation to help out with the ducks and the chickens 🩷🧡 Thank you so much for having us 😁
