This place is a real gem ! The campground is in a beautifull surrounding, near to Hobbiton but very peacefull, on a small farm. All the animals are as in a petting zoo : sheep, chickens, cows, a goat and turtles. The hosts Lynne and Graeme are the best feature of the campground : they are so nice and welcoming it feels like they are old friends. Lynne also serves a very nice breakfast on request, completely made with farm products (home grown tomatoes, free range eggs, bacon and sausages directly from the farm, etc). She also prepares dinner on request. If you want to go to the evening banquet at Hobbiton, Lynne and Graeme can drive you there and pick you up. We highly recommend this place ! Thank you, Lynne and Graeme for the best camping experience ever !

Absolutely fantastic place to stay for a quiet night if heading to Hobbiton. Lynne and her family were so welcoming and their farm is stunning. The kids even got to play with Lucky the sheep and their giant goat. Would be sure to top up your water and empty any waste before visiting.

An unbelievably tranquil place. The silence apart from nature is a pure pleasure.
It’s like freedom camping with the pleasure of a wonderful host and breakfast.
Lynn was most welcoming, telling us everything about her beautiful animals.
We also enjoyed a very tasty breakfast - far to much food for us :-)
Even had the chance to do some stargazing, before the clouds came in.
I should also mention the very short drive to hobbitton.

We were visiting the Hobbit Movie set and needed a place to park our camper.
Thankyou to DaBarn for your welcome and hospitality. The nicest people on the planet. We were made to feel so welcome. We will absolutely visit this place again when we return to NZ.
Cheers.

Nice place to keep your campervan if you want to spend the night close to Hobbiton. We did the evening banquet tour and they were more than happy to drive us there and pick us up.
