We drove 2H from Gold Coast and we love here.
Our family ended up staying for a few hours. We loved meeting the camels, tasting the camel milk and other products in the store, and just soaking up the relaxed atmosphere. It was such a fun and unexpected day out.
Unfortunately, we didn't get the chance to ride a camel this time, but that's definitely at the top of our list for our next visit. A great family-friendly spot that's well worth checking out!
Thank you Emily for being a fabulous guide! The farm is beautiful, great coffee and you can easily spend half the day taking a tour, tasting some of the produce and relaxing at the cafe. I leaned so much about camels and loved the history lesson about camels in WWI and learning how vastly different camel farming is from your typical dairy farming.
There's vegetarian options at the cafe (huge pro as I'm have a meat-allergy!) and I highly recommend getting a camel-milk latte as you can feel the velvety foam unique to camel milk. You have to try cold milk and warm milk so you get a great feel of the product. The marinated Fetta is also delightful. There's camel meat products available in cafe and to take home and I was so surprised to get up close to the camels and see how docile and sweet they are.
This small business works really hard to raise awareness about how our relationship to these "pests" MUST be challenged and help folks learn about the benefits of camel farming. There's cute souvenirs, camel rides and even longer trail rides available and all for an amazing cause. An hour tour is only $25pp!
I'd love to see some camel chocolate some day!
Make sure you take the farm tour. Very informative and a chance to see the baby camels. So cute!!!
Try the food in the Cafe, enjoy the view, buy some products (it really does seem to be good for your skin and hair and they smell great) but most of all just have a great day. Plenty of parking, such happy and friendly staff.
There’s something almost surreal about seeing a camel up close, not the tourist ‑ ride kind you find in Nelson Bay, but real working camels living their slow, ancient rhythm. That’s what struck me the moment I stepped into Summer Land Camel Farm. The land is wide, open, sun‑washed… the kind of place where time doesn’t rush you. The camels roam like they belong to the landscape, not the other way around.
The farm itself feels honest. Nothing forced, nothing staged. Just a natural, earthy space with scattered seating areas, shaded corners, and enough room for families to spread out and breathe. I saw a big family gathering during my visit. It made the place feel alive.
Food is simple and limited, but made with care. The only hiccup was the wait; over 30 minutes for a burger and chips. A long pause for a small menu, but somehow the atmosphere softened the frustration. You don’t feel the same kind of impatience here; the land slows you down.
What stayed with me most wasn’t the camels or the scenery, it was the people. The staff treated every visitor like a guest, not a customer. At one point, an older team member gently stepped in to help a father with an unsettled child. No fuss, no awkwardness, just kindness. Watching that moment felt strangely grounding, like witnessing the best part of human nature in a place you didn’t expect it.
For a quick family escape, this farm is a beautiful little pocket of calm. I picked up a small bottle of camel‑milk vodka too; haven’t tried it yet, but I’ll update once I do.
When one of my daughters had a nosebleed (because of the heat weather), the team and other visitors provided quick and professional first aid, which we really appreciated. Everyone was kind and caring. Kids loved feeding the camels and tasting the camel milk, salami, and cheese—everything was new and delicious. The café and camel gelato were also very yummy.
It was a pity we couldn’t ride the camels due to the age requirement, but it was still so much fun watching them pass by right next to us.
Free entry into the farm, Cafe on hand, gift store as well, meat available to purchase. Gelato made with camel milk is delicious, camel pie was nice, the camel ride was so much fun and a great experience for all ages.
My parents who are 75years had a great first experience and both laugh and smile everytime they talk about it.
Feeding the camels is breathtaking being up and close to them, they do come for the brown bag of food when your close and once they have a grip on it with their teeth, they will take it. Best is to just leave it and retrieve the brown bag after to put in the bin, once they have moved away if you can safely, do not go inside the barriers. Camel milk was ok, they also produce feta cheese from fresh camel milk.
We recommend Summer Land Camels for families to visit these holidays. The drive there is beautiful it took me back to NZ. Greenery farms and open space with mountains in sight, it is soothing to me, a change from the suburb and city drive.
A pretty nice place to spend a relaxing Sunday afternoon.
Our guides Katie and Josh were very friendly and made the whole experience even better.
The camel-riding was truly unique!
Camel riding was very fun and special, also I can feed the camels and take many nice photos.
The farm has many activities to do and the car park is big, very easy and comfortable.
I also try the camel milk café 🥛☕, the drinks are fresh, smooth and delicious. The café has cake, snack and also products from camel milk like skincare and vodka, very interesting.
It is a good place for family, couple or friends to spend time together. Relaxing, fun and different experience. I recommend this place!
entertainment was great and had an absolutely amazing experience riding camels
Thanks Drover for being a nice friendly camel
Even though it was a rainy day. It was still magical for us.
It was enjoyable and a place where both kids and adults can have fun.
more staff needed to cook food.
More food options needed on menu.
Waited 45min for a sausage roll and was told you ran out of hot chips.
Need to close later in the day so people can enjoy themselves for longer.
Other than that the camel ride was great the gift shop was great staff were nice.
The place was nicely kept.
The camels were awesome.
Thank you
My wife said it was the most she had ever paid for a coffee. You have the option of cow or camel milk in your coffee. She also had a scone baked with camel milk, however, was not a fan.
I thought $70 for a 40 minute camel ride was a little excessive. But it has now been ticked off the bucket list.
The camel ride was very peaceful and the staff gave you some history of the camels in Australia, along with some facts about the humble camel.
The staff were friendly and knowledgeable.
Downside is unless you book online, you won't know when these extras happen. Would have loved to do the farm tour, but missed by 20 mins. There's a whiteboard on-site with times, which isn't helpful when planning your visit. Tried a camel sausage roll, and camel latte....yeah, box ticked.
Nevertheless, beautiful surrounds and mountainous background. Great to get up close to these majestic animals and hand feed them some hay. Plenty spread out /dropped on the ground!
Yeah, highly recommend a visit for a few hours!
Went there with a young family of 5 and had such a great time. We booked online and did a camel ride around the farm only a short tour as the kids are little. I was able to sit on the one camel (Queenie) with both kids as they don't weigh much but are older than 4. The food was good and we had a milkshake made from camel milk, camel burger and camel sausages.
The staff are amazing and you can feed the camels located around the cafe there.
Get there early as the queue was crazy. We had to line up to order food for over half an hour as there were so many people. So it is a very popular place for tourists.
They sell camel meat from the cafe for you to cook up at home which is awesome.
I would definitely go there again. The kids loved it.
Beautiful weather and great fun. Great price ! BEST breakfast too
Learnt so much about camels and now I have a real love for all things camel.
Highly recommend spending the day out here doing the tour of the farm and riding camels.
Staff were fabulous
Thank you so much
The place was swarming with flies and required quite an effort to keep the flies off the food!!
It would have been great if there were more vegetarian/ vegan options to choose from.
The only downside to the place was that they served camel meat; which seemed controversial to the concept of the place.
Visitors to the cafe have the opportunity to pet the camels and feed them after purchasing a bag of camel feed for $3.
There are paid camel rides and other activities at the farm.
There is also a souvenir shop with many items such as camel milk beauty products, soft toys, ornaments, etc.
There is a free car park on site.
