Really lovely Hipcamp with mountain and forest views. A short walk into the village and bonus access to an onsite toilet.
The camping area was reasonably flat and grassy with perimeter fencing.
Very quiet and peaceful location and plenty of space to manoeuvre a caravan. Would definitely recommend.

James's place was fantastic, not only do you get the entire campsite to yourself, you can have a camp fire and you can add on to your booking an hour long sauna and plunge pool session. I'd highly recommend trying it, especially after a day of mountain biking or hiking.
It was just so peaceful at our campsite, we set up beside the Ringarooma River watching the platypus play, we didn't want to leave. It's also a short walk or ride into the charming town of Branxholm. Where you will find the biggest & best lamb pie's I've ever tasted at Tin Timbers Cafe.
James and Graham (son & father) were so friendly and welcoming. They also have cabins onsite if your not into camping. It's a beautiful property that you don't want to miss.

For $30 this place was fine. Bit of a walk to get to the toilet and a few obstacles and hazards so make sure you check the way to the toilet before dark and also have a torch if going in the night. Bring toilet paper as only one roll was supplied and there were 5 groups of campers. Didnt want to call or ring the bell at 6am to wake the host for more, lucky we had our own. There are also a lot of pet geese which are right at the fence so quite noisy.
Overall though, for $30 it was ok for the night.

We tent camped for a night. Location was good with a nice outlook. There are some good flat areas at the bottom of the camping area but the top section looked to be on quite a slope.
Uphill walk to toilet was not too far and toilet was clean. With only one toilet being available it could be a bit of a wait if the camp ground is full. We didn't have a problem with that as we were only sharing with about 4 other groups.

Great aspect .. with commanding views of Huntsman Lake and the Western Tiers
Ample space for each group .. no over crowding
Host was very approachable, and made check in simple.
I needed a couple of days to get offline and back to basics. This was ideal. No internet access at the campsite .. but close by on the property if needed.
Dog friendly .. which was much appreciated as my dog has cancer and our days of adventuring are numbered

Cherry Top was an absolute delight. The owners were cordial and accommodating. The tenting area was so easy to set up! You know when you can't drive the pegs in for all the gravel? Not the case here. Smooth pegs for daaaaays. Not far from the quaint community of Lilydale, which has a public pool, library (only open some days) and a few cute shops. Wild blackberries abound!
If you have the time, ask about the story of the Hazelnut child! Heck, might as well grab a bag of Hazelnuts while you're here 😉

We had the absolute best time camping at James, Graham and Christine’s place last weekend and couldn’t recommend it more! The space is perfectly secluded by the river where we even spotted a platypus frolicking in the water. The entire family were extremely welcoming and even allowed us to try some of their fresh produce and take it home! James and Graham have built their own sauna and plunge pool which are available to use for a small cost-an experience we absolutely loved before going to bed each night. Their hospitality throughout our stay was unparalleled and we’ve already booked our next weekend away to come back. Thank you for everything you did! Georgia and Kate :)
