80km from Ballarat · 1 site · Tent, RV
Please read all the info before you book...
This is an ideal spot for a quiet getaway or as a home base if you want to explore the surrounding areas of Dunolly or Dunolly itself.
Early mornings and late evenings you may be lucky to receive visits from Kangaroos. Camp freely around the designated campfire and enjoy an amazing star-gazing experience (on clear nights).
The water hole is good for yabbies and great for skipping stones. We swim in it occasionally but prefer to go to the lake. We cannot endorse any swimming or entering the water hole as it is a liability issue and we cannot be responsible for anyone who chooses to swim or enter the area of the waterhole.
Dunolly town has a great bakery, a pub, and a supermarket.
Lake Laanacoorie 15 mins drive. Great for fishing, boats, and swimming.
***Pit-toilet (portable) available:
- There is a pit toilet available for camper use but it's recommended to have a portaloo and use the onsite dunny as an emergency only.
***Keep Clean.
-We ask that you take any rubbish with you when you leave. We would appreciate it if you could leave the property as you found it on arrival.
***Warning.
-Regular pest control in the area might be a threat to your pet so please ensure that your pet does not stray too far off the property without your supervision. Pest control is usually concentrated in the state forest behind the property.
***Fire Wood:
- You can BYO firewood or collect from the roadside. The state forest at the rear may be helpful but please don't cut down any trees. There is often a fallen tree that you can chop up if you have a chainsaw but it'll be easier to find on the roadside or BYO. If I'm able to provide firewood it'll be stacked but this is not something to depend on as it just depends on availability and time that I may not have.
***More info.
-The campsite is close to the water hole which means it's also at the front of the property and approx 120m from the main road. You will see a vehicle passing by maybe once per hour in the daytime.

Absolutely loved staying at Ally’s. She was super communicative, flexible with timing, and showed us the best spot to park our campervan. We were the only campers, so we had the field to ourselves. Very quiet and peaceful!

Camp was great! Plenty of space! The fire pit was a hit and ample fire wood around the property. We were fortunate to have a mix of weather (no rain; yay!) for the most amazing sky views at night by the fire. Close to town for supplies and a great pub for a meal. Loved it.

We loved the privacy and view of the surrounding paddocks no need to pull the blinds down. It was perfect for our motorhome with no need to put the levelling equipment down. We didn’t light a fire but there were fire pits ready to go should you wish to have one.
Ally was the perfect host greeting us at the gate and guiding us to the best location for our camp.

My wife and I and 2 friends stayed at Emily's campsite/property, i never know what to expect heading into camp for the first time but when we arrived, I immediately felt at ease and the place had a sense of calm as all you could hear was the wildlife and birds in the trees 🙂
The camp had everything you could ever need.
The meet and greet from he start was amazing as we were lead to camp and shown how everything works.
Would highly recommend this place to anyone that just wants to get away in an authentic bush environment 🙂
Will definitely be rebooking in future.

The weather was wet and cold and luckily we had a site close to the ammenities block. The site was on grass and easy access drive through. Be a lovely park in summer with access to the lake for swimming, fishing and walking. We could take our dog and she loved it.

Lovely secluded bush camp. Flushing toilet, camp kitchen and shack. We paid extra for wood and a bonfire which was fantastic. Unfortunately it rained quite heavily whilst we were there so we didn't get to explore the bush as much as we would have liked to, but very grateful that there was a solid shelter with a wood heater inside. Emily and Steven were also very lovely, they met us and showed us around the camp. Thanks for a great stay.

I felt really welcomed at reception when I arrived and was given a flat, level caravan site and a helpful park map which was simple to follow. The free wi-fi was a bonus. I really liked the security with a code for the boom gate to keep the hoons out. Will definitely go back another time.

Great park! Fantastic location next to a large lake that is great for swimming, close to shops and cycle tracks and the people running the park were lovely too. Nice little playground for the kids, facilities were old but nice and clean. All in all i would definitely recommend it to others travellers.
