Rehoming a Camel in Queensland

Camels are big, clever, long-lived animals, and very few places in Queensland are set up to take one. If you're trying to find a new home for a camel, you've probably already found that out. Here's what helps, and how we can help.

Before you rehome a camel

Think long term. Camels can live for decades, so look for a home that can keep them for the rest of their life, not just the next few years.
Don't send them alone. Camels are herd animals and do best with other camels for company.
Be honest about handling. Will they halter, lead and load? Bulls in particular need an honest description so the new home can plan safe paddocks.
Check the paperwork. In Queensland, people who keep camels need to be registered as a biosecurity entity. Check Business Queensland for the current rules.

Free camel rehoming at Hidden Camp

Hidden Camp is a 169-acre family farm in Glenwood, QLD, between Gympie and Maryborough, and we already have camels in the mob. We take camels in for free, and they stay for life, with room to roam, other camels to hang out with and a sandy patch for a good roll.

Get in touch. Call or text Callan on 0478 116 143, or send us a message on our rescue and rehoming page.
Tell us about them. Age, sex, health, temperament and a couple of photos help us check we have the right space.
Sort out the move. Delivery by your own float or a livestock carrier is easiest. Callan can sometimes collect, depending on the animal, distance and timing.

Areas we help

We're in Glenwood, between Gympie and Maryborough. For camels we're happy to hear from anywhere in south-east and central Queensland, and further afield too. Give us a bell and we'll see what we can do.
