Castella River Farm is an 8 acre property with many natural features including Mountain Ash trees and bushland near the camp sites. The Yea river runs behind the property and camping areas. Locally we are close to all the Yarra Valley and Kinglake Ranges have to offer from wineries to the National Parks for hiking. We are 10 minutes from Kinglake township and 15 mins to Yarra Glen, which means a quick trip if you need supplies. The highway is close by which makes it handy to get out and about. Wildlife we have seen on the property includes Wallabies, Echidna, and an abundance of bird life. Laugh with the Kookaburras at sunset. Dogs are welcome however due to wildlife and the bush location, we ask that you please keep them on a lead at all times. If you are planning on bringing a dog with you, please let us know in advance. We also have horses (separate from the campsite) that campers can feed a carrot if they wish! Water is available from our stables water tank. It is Tank water so not crystal clear but think of it as euculyptus tea! NB: **We do have neighbours and the highway near by so there will be some noise . Would suit campers who want to kick the footy, wade in the river and maybe go 4wding or out and about fishing. Ok to play your own music near the camp fire as you are far enough away down the back paddock! **Not suited to those wanting to be in the middle of nowhere

Mountain Ash Camp
Nice open camp with plenty of space. Couple of gates are tight for towing a 22ft van through but driving slowly and using the right vehicle positioning are very manageable. Great proximity to the Yarra Region Wine country which made this site perfect for us.

Mountain Ash Camp
Beautiful camp among the trees!
Absolutely loved our stay here! A really beautiful, peaceful camp among the trees. The little river is so lovely and a short path from the camp. We really enjoyed relaxing and listening to the running water. The dogs even got in for a little paddle. The Mountain Ash site is perfect for caravans as there is plenty of space, it’s flat and gets enough sun to top up the batteries. Both sites are very private. The camp is close to everything in the surrounding Healesville area, but far enough that you are away from all the chaos there. Owners provided some wood for our fire which was so lovely! Thank you so much for having us, Carly!

Mountain Ash Camp
We stayed only one night and absolutely loved it. Just happened to be a night with zero wind. Carly welcomed us at the main gate of the property with clear directions of where we're to set up. Really recommend this Hipcamp if you're looking for a stay close to the Yarra Valley region. Next time we'll make sure to stay longer.

River Camp
A great little spot to camp! Tall trees provide plenty of shade on hot days, the little river is the perfect backdrop. Carly left a table and chairs for us to use, and plenty of firewood. We would recommend. Great host, great property, wonderful location only 1 hour from Melbourne.
