Warm fires, starry skies, seclusion! Great for caravans, camper trailers, tents and more! Nestled in the valley of a 1000 hills and on the land of the Taungurung people, this little patch of hilly heaven is home to a small family of farm animals, dog and their two owners. With its rugged natural beauty, amazing sunsets and starry skies, it was hard not to want to share its beauty with others. The property is the gateway to Murrindindi, has power and water for campers, a dam if you enjoy yabbying and perfect for intimate, small groups. We offer a flat campsite and ridge top campsite. Low gear and 4wd preferable during very wet months. NOTE: Campfires subject to fire restrictions at over summer, please message. Our secluded, flat campsite is surrounded by unspoilt bushland and is home to a multitude of native Australian animals. Our ridge-top campsite also features beautiful bush, and some amazing views. With over 50 acres of rugged hilly bushland, no neighbours in sight and tracks to explore, this is the perfect place for those who enjoy a challenging bush walk, privacy and a sky to watch the stars. Campers are required to be fully self contained with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste with them on departure. Campfires are welcome but must be contained and campers must respect any restrictions in place at the time of their stay. Pets are welcome.

Bushy Ridge Hideaway
The perfect getaway
Melissa has set up a simply beautiful area called Bushy Ridge surrounded by Gumtrees and more space than anyone could possibly need. Having power and water on this site makes camping very easy. Hearing the birds in the morning and the sound of the wind through the trees is a nice way to wake up. We found the site perfect for tenting and should be noted ground rocky in parts so suitable tent pegs a must. We used Apple Maps and found the site without any issues using link supplied. The communication from Melissa is at an elite level and everything you need is supplied. We also stumbled on an amazing coffee shop 6km from the site towards Flowerdale. If you are after a morning coffee and pastry it is a must visit. See photos. We loved our time at Bushy Ridge and could have stayed much longer than 4 days. Our German Shepherd was in his element with the amount of space. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway that feels as though you are in the hills with the convenience of power and water this is it

Melissa’s camp spot is gorgeous! So close to the city, easy to access but really peaceful amongst the trees. The camp spot is really well cleared so heaps of room for cars, tents and picnic rugs. Water and power handy if required. Lovely view of the sunset through the trees. If we’d have stayed longer we would have loved to go for a walk on the property - next time!

We really enjoyed being able to camp on Melissa’s property. Lovely location and we were not disappointed. There was connection for power and water was also available. The area was clean and even saw an echidna and deer and kangaroo during the stay. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Perfect spot.
Amazing stay just a short drive from Melbourne. We took our dog and he loved it. For a small cost Melissa provided us with fire wood and even some Proteas! Perfect spot to switch off and enjoy the surrounds. We will be back!
