We enjoyed camping at Yeramba Sunset Campsite. The farm gate had a code with an automatic sliding gate, giving an immediate sense of security. Anneke was very welcoming, meeting us at the campground entry, making us feel very at home. We had the whole campground to ourselves, it was sheltered on 2 sides with trees providing both shade & privacy. It was very peaceful with no road noise. It's lovely to go for a walk around the property to see the farm animals (goats, sheep, pony's lama & chickens) & gardens. Beyond the animals there walks to a dam & valley.
The location is very convenient to Daylesford & surrounds. We did a sour bread making course at a nearby farm in Blampied which made the location more perfect. We would definitely return & recommend staying here.

Very relaxing stay in a beautiful rural setting. We had the whole paddock to ourselves and Anneke's hosting was lovely. We got introductions to all the animals and were loaned a couple of kites which made my boys day! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and we shall be returning.

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!

My family stayed here over the cup weekend. We had a great time with the kids loving feeding the animals and fishing in the dam. The camp area was very clean with fire pit and a bin plus a water tap. The host Anneke was absolutely amazing. She was so friendly and kind. With only a short drive into Daylesford the location was great. Highly recommend and we will be back.

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.

We had a great weekend camping at the sunset camp site and there was lots of room on nice grass. Me, my girlfriend and dogs had lots of fun patting and feeding the goats and ponies and went for a walk. Anneke was very helpful and cared a lot about her farm and was very welcoming.
Thanks Angus

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.

Our extended family all got together for an incredible camping experience with Anneke’s absolutely glorious property in Blampied. The camping paddock is impeccable and safely fenced so we could let our dogs (& kids!) race around like lunatics while we were at our camp site.
There was bale-leaping and tree-climbing… incredible campfires, smore-making and singalongs… worm-hunting and fishing in the dam… bush-walking and hut-building with a side of “bush golf” down in the beautiful uncleared bushland… feeding and patting miniature ponies and boats and sheep and the cheekiest young alpaca… egg collecting and chook-petting…. it truely was a heavenly 4 nights of wonderful fun. Every single one of us left happily exhausted with over-flowing cups.
Anneke is a beautiful and warmly welcoming host who absolutely went above and aboard to ensure everyone was comfortable and had anything and everything they needed…. There was a windy day and out she came with kites for the kids to fly!
Our family decided on the very first night that we would make this an annual event at Anneke’s property - it was just such a privilege to stay somewhere so beautifully, and lovingly maintained…. With so much at our doorstep.
Thank you for making our stay so magical and memorable for kids & adults alike Anneke! xx

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.

A gem of a caravan park in a pretty little town. The first night was very quiet however when the park filled the next night (long weekend) we still didn't feel cramped. There is a great swimming pool (lake?) with access from the caravan park.
The amenities were very clean, there was seating under the trees and play equipment for the kids. I highly recommend this caravan park and would love to return one day.
