We have been on the road doing this since 1992. When we say a farm or station is good for a big rig, a quiet paddock or a real taste of the bush, it's because one of our team has actually personally checked the site.

What you get with every Camps Australia Wide farm and station stay

There is no shortage of information online about farm stays, station stays and private property camping. What's in short supply is information you can trust. That's the gap our Personally Checked Standard fills, and it's why we list a site only after we have seen it for ourselves.

Personally checked, not crowd-sourced. We physically visit each site and assess it against 12 criteria, from access and facilities to powered sites, amenities and tested phone signal.
Re-checked regularly. Farms and stations change what they offer with the seasons, so we revisit sites and update the details when they do.
No paid listings, ever. We have never charged a farmer, station or landholder to be listed, so what you read reflects the site and not an advertiser.
16,000+ verified sites across every state and territory, farm stays, station stays and private property camping among them.

You can read exactly how we do it on our how we verify campsites page.

Frequently asked questions about farm stay and station stay camping near you

Where can I find farm stay camping near me?

Choose your state from the cards above to see our farm stay, station stay and private property camping guides, or open the Camps Australia Wide App to find Personally Checked farms and stations near your current location. The app includes offline maps, so your sites are still there when you lose phone signal.

What is a station stay?

A station stay is camping on a working outback cattle or sheep station, common across Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory, in places like the Flinders Ranges and the Gascoyne. You get a real taste of station life and plenty of space, and the host sets the rules and any fee. We note the details for each station we have checked.

What is private property camping?

Private property camping is staying on private land, a farm, a station or a rural block, with the owner's permission rather than in a public campground. Farm stays and station stays are the most common kinds. The landholder sets the rules and any fee, and sites range from a simple paddock to somewhere with power and hot showers. We personally check the private property sites we list, so you know what to expect.

What facilities do farm and station stays have?

It varies widely, and there is usually a modest fee since these are private working properties. Some farms and stations offer toilets, hot showers, powered sites and even a campfire area, while remote stations may be basic with little more than space and a long-drop. Every site in our database is assessed against 12 criteria, so you know what to expect before you arrive.

Are farm and station stays suitable for caravans and big rigs?

Many are. Stations in particular tend to have plenty of open space, though access tracks can be unsealed or rough and some suit a higher-clearance setup. We note access and suitability for each site we visit, and the Camps Australia Wide App lets you filter for your rig.

How do I know a farm or station listing is still accurate?

Because we go and check. Our team personally visits and re-checks sites, and we update the listing when access, fees or what's on offer changes. You can see the full process on our how we verify campsites page.
