Pemberton & National Parks
This Camping Trip is for the independent camper who wants to experience the life on a very picturesque, productive, 500 acre Farm/Winery on the outskirts of Pemberton. The Campsite is nestled amongst Very Tall Karri Trees adjacent to a Dam full of Marron, overlooking Vineyards and Potato fields. From here we explore Warren River and D’Entrecasteaux National Parks.
Monica and David, our friendly hosts invite you to stay 3x Nights on Pemberley Farm for just $99/person. This includes wine tasting, maron, and the tasting of local, fresh produce, a trek around the farm, and use of their BBQ adjacent to their Homestead. Click on our video links to view a short videos on Pemberley Farm and one of our recent Pemberton Camping Trips.
NEW customers will at times be joining experienced, independent campers who love using their Off-road Camper Trailers and Caravans. We are a happy bunch of campers willing to share our experiences and stories around the Campsite, especially during “Happy Hour” at Sunset. Discuss the Pros and Cons of your Camper, Caravan, 4WD and /or Camping Gear.
On most occasions we will be joined by a very well known local identity Mark Hudson and very dear friend, to explain in detail the Flora and Fauna found in the area.
