**Closes for the Season. Reopen around Easter** 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

Water Lily Campsite

Great Spot

We had a fabulous time camping at Hectic Valley!! The kids had an absolute ball kayaking and fishing in the dam. The campsite was a good size and just a short walk to the dam. The highlight was definitely the animal feeding, so many beautiful animals and we were even lucky enough to cuddle a 2 day old goat. Would definitely stay here again!

Pandanus camp site.

We loved camping at Hectic . Kirsty and her family are so welcoming. What a way to camp, feeding all the animals in the morning and relaxing by the fire watching possums in the evening. Thank you for having us!! We will be back for sure!

Waterfront Campsite

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.
