1 night at CREEKSIDE Farm

A slice of paradise next to a beautiful flowing creek and deep swim hole. Easy to get to and owner showed us to the spot which was perfectly flat. We had the place to ourselves and it was pure magic having a dip. There is a road and concrete bridge close by and in view but it didn’t bother us as it was opposite direction to the view of the creek and not too many cars. We would definitely return in the future.

Weekend Trip to CREEKSIDE Farm

Just what we needed! 3 nights at this peaceful little camp right on the banks of the crystal clear rushing creek and a stunning swimming hole. We had special visits from a platypus each afternoon. Everything was well maintained. Campsites are not close together and a bonus is there is only 3 sites so definitely no crowding. We are already planning our next trip back!

Great pet friendly camp site by a little river. Generously spread out sites making this a perfect quiet camp close to Lennox. Cam (host) was relaxed and welcoming. Enjoyed the camp so much, extended our stay. Would recommend and stay again.

Site 1 was a lovely quiet spot beside the creek. Love that it is only one group per site to ensure you get to camp how you want to camp. In peace. We will be back for sure.

Beautiful property. Nicely spaced from other campsites. Easy to get to and well signed. Super friendly host. It would be nice to see a toilet/long drop here to save using our portable unit, but other than that no complaints. Would stay here again.

Beautiful setting beside the creek. We swam in it the first day in 37 degree heat and watched it swell the next with a lot of rain. Loved it! Cam is great to deal with and would love to stay again. Easy to get to lots of small towns including federal, eltham and clunes. We took in a semi off road 3.3t van and used 4wd in the Ute to get it in and out. Easy as!

Nice and private spot. I stayed solo for 2 nights and it was the best retreat ever. Loved the creek. The booking process was super easy—you can just book last minute, show up, and follow the instructions. Perfect experience.
