Diverse 20 acre self-reliant permaculture farm, a perfect getaway from the city to reconnect with nature and animals, and enjoy the peacefulness under a starlit sky. Productive homestead with olive grove, orchard, milking goats, cat, bee hives, vegetable gardens and free roaming chooks. Lots of shady trees, screen plantings, bird life and other small wild animals. Farm produce available. Free stick fire wood available to collect around the farm. Children welcome under your full responsibility. Calm quiet dogs only, must be kept on leash at all times. There are off leash areas nearby. Peaceful unpowered sites within walking distance of train station and Violet Town shops, library, post office, public swimming pool, walking track, and health clinic. The second Saturday of the month has the big Violet Town market. Within 30 km are beautiful Strathbogie ranges with granite country hiking, wildlife and natural swimming pools.

RV/tent site · Sleeps 12 · Vehicles under 12 m

This beautiful property has been developed by David Arnold from what was a grass field with no trees or buildings in 1996. Camping here suits people who appreciate the work and care that has gone into this place, and will respect this property. We have unpowered sites suitable for tents, camper trailers, small caravans and moderate sized vans. These are not suitable for large caravans, or very large vans/motorhomes. The campground is a beautiful area of stone pine, bunya pine, carob and oak trees. Camping is under shady trees or in full sun, adjacent to neighbouring farm land and spectacular huge gum trees, out of sight of our farm buildings. Sites are 30-130 m from a toilet. Small camp fires at safe times are permitted. NO GENERATORS. QUIET CONVERSATION ONLY AFTER 9PM. (Except celebrating NYE here is ok) Murrnong is at the end of the Violet Town main street, and although the campground is secluded you can also hear some trucks go by, plus the freeway and occasional trains in the distance. The peaceful sites are within walking distance of the train station and Violet Town shops, library, post office, public swimming pool, walking track, and health clinic.

This beautiful property has been developed by David Arnold from what was a grass field with no trees or buildings in 1996. Camping here suits people who appreciate the work and care that has gone into this place, and will respect this property. If you wish to bring a pet to this area we need to first consider how your pet will fit in at our campground/ farm. We need to know your pet's breed, character, tolerance of being kept on leash while on the farm, and likelihood to bark, snarl or snap at people or other pets. It's fine to book first, then discuss your pet with us, because if your pet is not a good fit here we will give you a full refund. We have unpowered sites suitable for tents, camper trailers, small caravans and moderate sized vans. These are not suitable for large caravans, or large vans/motorhomes. Maximum of 2 pets per site.

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
Camping at this site offers a serene and welcoming experience. Visitors frequently praise the spacious and shaded campsites, the friendly and informative host, David, and the unique farm environment, complete with goats and other animals. The composting toilets are well-maintained, and the proximity to Violet Town adds to the convenience. However, some guests mention occasional noise from nearby roads and train tracks, which could be a consideration for light sleepers.

Camped in a 10 m camper trailer at Pines Carob Area - pets possible with pets, Sept 2026.

We had a wonderful time! It was a busy public holiday, but we had a perfect space for our two families, away from the other campers. Beautiful trees and flat ground. Highly recommend. David is very welcoming and accomodating.

Camped in a 12 m caravan at Pines Carob Area - No Pets with kids, Sept 2026.

Absolutely loved our stay. David was a welcoming host and happy for our 3 yo to pet the goats and chickens. The property plantings are beautiful and plenty of wildlife to quietly observe. One early morning the ground was shimmering with juvenile dragonflies. A slight hush of road noise and the occasional train but they fade to insignificance.

Camped in a 5 m campervan at Pines Carob Area - No Pets, Jun 2026.

This space exceeded our expectations. Warm and relaxed greeting with the space having a very chilled out feel. Amongst the expansive camping area under the trees was magical 😃 It was great to be able to have a fire and camp oven cook. At the end of a 3 month Kombi trip this was a treat. Loved the goats and the vibe. Would definitely recommend this lovely peaceful place. Thanks David
