Purple Pear Farm is a working Permaculture Farm and Education center. We have a wide range of animals from pigs to cows and a pony and all types and numbers of poultry. You can join us for "chores" in extras.
We aim to provide a restful site close to other activities on the farm and in the Maitland area such as festivals and farm field days at Tocal.

Purple Pear Farm provides a welcoming and peaceful camping experience, where campers appreciate the friendly hosts and farm animals like dogs and cows that entertain children. Many reviews highlight the hot showers and the proximity to Maitland as major perks. While most visitors enjoy the simple, down-to-earth atmosphere and the sustainable farming focus, some mention the lack of water or power hook-up as a downside compared to other camping options. Overall, it's a place where families can relax and kids can play safely amidst nature.
Purple Pear Farm is a beautiful and serene place. Perfect for connecting with nature and relaxing outside. I would recommend who is seeking a genuine community like farm experience on their travels . Kate and Mark and wonderful hosts.
After we booked, we went to follow the farm on Facebook and realized there was a concert on, the same weekend as our booking. We were able to communicate with the hosts very easily, and we were able to buy tickets to attend.
The spots are well marked. The shower was good. There was plenty of space, despite the concert attracting a few campers.
The concert was so sweet. Real people performing from the heart. It was so nice to see some older generations represented in the concert, sharing their beautiful songs. We were really humbled. Kids ran around picking mulberries. There were a couple of fires around. Everyone enjoyed themselves and the night time was lovely and quiet. Kate cooked a vegetarian feast for everyone, which was super!
This camp also had value for money. It was much better than a lot of places, and much cheaper than most places we have been. (Toilets and hot showers.)
Easy access and nice level camp sites. The shower facilities were 100%. Much needed in the hot weather.
As with all camping trips you want to ensure you have your own form of shade packed.
The friendly dogs and cows were so great for our 2 year old. Lovely quiet and safe environment for kids and the super close proximity to down as needed. Would stay here again.
