Primitive camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Welcome to Somerville Park, a 500 acre sheep farm at Fosterville. There are a variety of beautiful campsites suitable for self-contained guests who have their own toilet/shower facilities and drinking water. Fires are permitted out of fire restriction times and feel free to bring your furry friends, making sure they're leashed at all times. The farm is completely surrounded by the Wellsford state forest which offers bush walking and many tracks for bike riding. Mt Sugarloaf which is situated south of the property provides a great hike. Spectacular sunrises and sunsets create beautiful reflections on the water in the numerous dams on the property. Rainfall can restrict access to sites on the property. The city of Bendigo is 25mins drive. Epsom is a 15min drive where you will find a shopping centre which includes a petrol station, Woollies, Pizza, Chemist Warehouse, Aldi, Brumbys Bakery, Reject Shop, Fish and Chips and BWS. Lake Eppalock is a 25min drive where you can engage in water sport activities. The Campaspe River is 10mins away. The farm is very quiet and restful with the sounds of abundant native bird life and provides great subjects and scenery for the photographic enthusiast.

An incredible place to stay with lovely welcoming hosts! Even on a long weekend we had endless space and a stunning outlook. Can’t recommend more highly.

Top Dam
We were fortunate to stay at the Top Dam campsite within Somerville Park. This site allows a fantastic view across the property. The property is a beautiful mix of cleared land and treed areas, with camp sites being well spaced apart so you have your own 'space' and dont feel cramped. Sheryl was a delight. We arrived late Friday evening in the dark, and Sheryl met us at the gate and guided us to our site. Highly recommend Somerville Park. Whilst we went in winter, we had great weather and spectacular sunrises.

Lone Setting
Lots of space for people and dogs
Property was very nice, there is a bit of road noise especially at night, but no fault to owner. Would Instay again? YES maybe try a spot out the back . Nothing negative about property, great amount of space between campsites.

Top Dam
Couldn’t recommend more!
Absolutely beautiful property. We stayed at Top Dam and it was beautifully secluded. The other camp spots looked just as gorgeous though. Sheryl was an absolute pleasure to be in contact with as were her friends who helped us find our spot when we arrived late at night. Extremely dog friendly and our pack had a blast. Will definitely be back.

Sunset View
My 1st solo camping trip and I was a tad nervous. Sheryl was so lovely and met me at the gate. The sunsets, the birds and kangaroos and at night the stars and the moon were all stunning. Very peaceful and relaxing. I will be back as it felt very safe and secure.
