The Stockmans Camp — Local services in Buchan South

I went with a friend of mine on a trip to Buchan to visit Buchan Caves and nearby Attractions and Walks around and over the Australia Day Holiday Weekend. She chose The Stockmans Camp, which is a FarmStay, which offers Cabins or powered or unpowered Camping Grounds sites. We chose a non-powered site. We were booked for about one week. On our 3rd day there it rained and our tents were flooded. We were kindly offered to relocate to a shearing shed to stay until we could dry out our tents or alternatively offered a cabin at a special/reduced price. We chose the Cabin and the price was extraordinarily discounted. My friend bogged her car while there and Cathy helped us to get the car out. When we stayed in the non-powered site, we did have access and used the Kitchenette which had a table, microwave, kettle, and toaster, and unexpectedly, a fridge, where we were able to store our food and drinks, which meant we didn't need to use our esky and get ice every day. Cathy and Darren, and some support workers we met there, were great hosts, very helpful, understanding, and made our stay a very pleasant one, considering it rained and we found ourselves unprepared. The Cabin in which we stayed for 2 nights while our tents dried, was clean, well equipped, and was a great experience to have had. The Camping Ground has communal hot water showers and toilet facilities. This was my first ever Farm-stay experience and I highly recommend this over normal Camping...

My stay here was fantastic! The farm is very peaceful and relaxing. Originally I had planned to stay at a different campground but the flooding redirected me to Stockmans Camp. The grounds are well cared for, the staff was super friendly and helpful coming out to chat and tell stories and the facilities are clean. They have showers, toilets, a d recycling onsite. The tents spots are nice and grassy with lots of room. They even had a small refrigerator and microwave and two hot plates in the cooking area. The horses, sheep, and cows make a for some fun entertainment. I would definitely stay again! The price was very reasonable, $20 for one tent with one person.

We had the best week. Beautiful green shady grounds, wonderful hosts and even some new puppies to cuddle. Went out on a very early Brumby tour up on the Snowy Plateau and watched the mist rise revealing several mobs of beautiful horses. Breakfast with the sunrising, absolutely breathtaking. Great campground (and cabins) to base while you explore the fantastic Caves and lots of walking tracks up on the hills. Thanks to great hosts Darren and Kathy and daughter.|Buchan has a pub with good meals, a general store, fuel, and Police station, so all contigencies covered.|Book for their Stockmans Heritage Show, or book in for 11th Feb Canni Creek 102yr Picnic Races for a...
