Or choose to stay in our beautiful A-frame cabin, with plush bedding, cozy fire, and outdoor lounge. More than anything else this is a place to relax and be away from normal, live outside yourself, and rediscover what weekends are for.

Nestled amongst the mountains just outside of the township of Whittlesea our 40-acre property sits above the clouds. This experience comes with sweeping views, a hidden waterfall, a clear campground, and plenty of wildlife.
The camping area is accessible by 4WD only, otherwise, strap on a backpack and earn it! (800m walk/hike from where a non-4WD can park). The waterfall is reached by a single trail track from the campsite, and you do need to be an experienced hiker to get to the waterfall. Which is part of the appeal!
We welcome self-contained campers, who bring their own toilet and take all waste with them. We have a strict Leave No Trace policy.
Or choose to stay in our beautiful A-frame cabin, with plush bedding, cozy fire, and outdoor lounge. More than anything else this is a place to relax and be away from normal, live outside yourself, and rediscover what weekends are for.
Dogs are welcome, so long as they don't bother the wildlife.
Campfires are allowed, BYO firewood or campers can collect fallen timber from the property.

With close proximity to coffee shops and local stores of Romsey and Lancefield Providore, you have only a few minutes to drive to stock up on local produce.

Could not say enough good things about our experience at lancefield lakes - our friend’s tent broke and Jem kindly lent us one of theirs, saving the trip. The toilets are very clean and well maintained and there a lot of space between sites. They were also very generous with the firewood. 10/10.

Very basic camp site but did the job really well, although the toilet was unusable a few times there is a toilet block 2 minutes away at the tennis club. Located on a dirt road so can get quite dusty near the fence line. Beautiful treetop views at sunset and overall would recommend had nothing bad to say about the location at all. Roughly 10 minutes away from the town centre so doesn’t take long to get essentials or explore town if you’d like. Felt secure and safe the entire time

This place is absolute magic! We will 100% be coming back. We didn't know Lancefield before but have always loved visiting Kyneton, Woodend and Daylesford which are close by.
The sites were so good - plenty of space, firewood and the lakeside view is perfection.
The shower and toilets were excellently maintained too.
The eggs there are worth getting - so delicious. Hopefully next time we'll be able to get some honey.
Jemilia was such a helpful and responsive host whenever we sent a query and Aaron the farm manager was an absolute champion.
loads of local wildlife around - we spotted a wombat, echidna and loads of kangaroos whilst there and the bird choir was something special at sunset.
Our 10 YO took his bike and loved all the trails around the campsite so take bikes if that's your thing!
Oh and if you like a local beer, highly recommend the Lost Watering Hole.
