A lovely property with camp sites tucked away on classic goldfields country replete with delightful frog and bird calls. We didn't meet Kate but communication was great, meaning arrival was flexible. A short drive or ride to Castlemaine.

We loved our stay at Granite Springs. From the campsite to the communication - everything was perfect. The site itself was green, protected and very flat for our tents. Tarsha was very quick to reply to my many queries and the directions/check in instructions were very easy to follow. Thanks Tarsha!

Gorgeous site right by the lake! Beautiful scenery on a clear sunny day, have some patience with the fishing, they are in there jumping around, we didn't catch any but was great for relaxing during the long Cup weekend. Mark was a great host showing us both sites and giving us the freedom to set up camp wherever we wanted. We had fantastic weather until it rained, then it was a bit treacherous driving and towing out of the muddy paddock (take it slow and steady), best to stay when the weather is forecasted or certain to be dry

Weekend Trip to Tea Tree Creek Bush Camp

Lovely quiet spot, secluded but with a dam, and a winter running creek. Sound of sheep and magpies and little else. Mark let us use the tin shed and we slept in there instead of erecting a tent. Plenty of wood around for a fire. Not too distant from Meredith and the Brisbane Ranges.

Granite Springs is a great Hip Camp. We were in Campsite 5. It was amongst the trees and very peaceful. The views were fantastic. We had a hybrid caravan and two camper trailers. The track in was accommodating for all RVs.

We had a lovely stay at this site...a last minute decision had us looking for somewhere near Castlemaine and this was just perfect. Kat responded to our request almost immediately so we had a confirmed place to stay and meet with family from Melbourne. The girls went off for a sneaky 9 holes at the very friendly golf club so everyone was happy. Really great site, thanks for having us!

Loved our weekend getaway. Tarsha is a wonderful host. Lots of space for our kids and dog to run around and explore. The only downside was the length of our stay. Should have booked extra couple of nights. Thank you

We found paradise!! What an incredible slice of heaven Tarsha has. We were incredibly lucky to stay here for a night and can’t wait to go back again already. Beautiful spot on the water with farm animals so see everywhere.

Mark's land was exactly what we needed to celebrate my dad's birthday. Mark was courteous enough to warn us about the wind the morning of our arrival. Regardless, the wind didn't stop us from making the most of his land which only got better the following days as the sun came out and the wind settled. No fish this time but we'll be sure to come back and try again. Thanks Mark for a great stay.

This was a great spot to relax and let our kids explore. They loved paddling the boat in the dam & the hut was a great addition. Mark was really helpful and supplied heaps of fire wood!

What an awesome camp spot it was on No.2. The site was cleared with ample room for our 20ft van, there was a fire pit to stoke up & warm ourselves & not only were we surrounded by bush, we also had a great view down a grassy paddock watching a multitude of kangaroos grazing. There were even clear tracks to walk around the perimeter of the property. We will definitely be back!

It is a beautiful property, the kids caught a massive trout. Unfortunately the winter weather was not on our side and it rained most of the weekend. We will definitely come back for another round during the warmer months.
