Weekend Trip to Willowood

What an amazing place to rest and relax. The sites were huge with fire pits provided. Lots of shade and sun depending on your preference. All you can hear is the sound of the water and birds. There were lots of flies but even people in town had the same issue. I would highly recommend Willowood. I will be back.

We loved our stay at Willowood! It was such a beautiful, peaceful property. The site was immaculate when we arrived and the built in fire pit was a bonus. My dogs loved swimming in the river and watching the cows. Our experience may have been an anomaly, as we didn’t see any reviews mention this, but the number of flies did impact the tranquility a little. We also came unprepared without any deterrents (rookie mistake for seasoned campers), so we’d recommend bringing some along to make the most of your stay. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and can’t wait to be back.

Beautiful spot, mostly peaceful even on a long weekend. Great campsite with ample room. Unfortunately for us it’s too expensive , kids over 13 pay full price which is a bit steep with teenagers in the family.

We had such a great time here! The place was super spacious and perfect for our big group. Loved having the creek nearby and the fireplace was awesome for hanging out in the evenings. The kids were absolutely obsessed with Jimmy the horse who came by every day. Loretta was a wonderful host and made everything easy for us. We stayed at Site 2, which was really nice and private. The only small thing was that the toilets were a bit of a walk. Everything else was perfect.Would 100% stay again.

Weekend Trip to Kielock Homestead

Site 3 – Tent/Van/RV Site at Kielock Homestead We spent a blissful long weekend at Site 3 and couldn’t have asked for a better escape. The location is stunning nestled right by the Kiewa River, with plenty of space for our caravan and gear. Access was smooth and well-marked, making setup a breeze. 🎣 The trout fishing was a highlight. Crystal-clear waters and plenty of quiet spots to cast a line. Whether you're an experienced angler or just looking to unwind by the riverbank, this place delivers. Campfire Magic - evenings were pure magic. We roasted marshmallows around the campfire under a canopy of stars, with nothing but the gentle sounds of nature in the background. The quietness of the site made it feel like we had the whole valley to ourselves. Caravan-Friendly & Spacious Site 3 had ample room for our van, with level ground and easy access to the river. It’s ideal for anyone travelling with a setup that needs a bit of breathing room. Charles was an absolute gem of a host. Friendly, responsive, and genuinely passionate about the land and the experience he’s created. He checked in to make sure everything was going smoothly and offered great local tips. You can tell he takes pride in making guests feel welcome and relaxed. If you're looking for a peaceful, nature-filled retreat with great fishing, campfire vibes, and a host who truly cares, this is the spot. We’ll definitely be back!

We stayed at site 5 which was a fantastic spot. Close to the river and just a 5 minute walk to the toilets. Grounds are kept so clean! Beautiful place to stay and great for kids. Lots of space to run around. Loretta was wonderful, brilliant communication 😊 Definitly planning on coming in the summer to put that river to good use 😎
