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.

First off, Paul is an absolute gentleman and was easy to deal with. His hospitality was above and beyond. The campsite and amenities were great, clean showers and flush toilets, although we didn’t use the BBQ, there was one there. The camp sites were very spacious, could easily fit multi people/tents setups. It was a very peaceful stay and enjoyed the scenery, especially with the occasional visits from the goats. Also, about a 20 minute drive to Ballarat. Highly recommend the camp to anyone thinking of it. Would definitely stay again. Thank you again Paul to you and your family.

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!

Beautiful property, several well-maintained, spotlessly clean, sites along a small flowing river with huge redgums. Lots of birdlife and farm animals nearby. Each site was flat, spacious, and appropriately set away from other campers for privacy. Mark, the host, came to say hello and provide info about the property. Overall, a great camp experience & highly recommended.

Amazing campsites next to river. The sites are very private and are a good distance from each other. We enjoyed the cool water in the river on the hot days. Mark is a great, friendly host.

Wendy provides useful resources such as a water, an abundance of firewood and a dumping ground for the toilet. If you're looking for somewhere private with no one else in sight, and are looking for complete silence with the sound of nature, then this place is for you. A flat area surrounded by nearby kangaroos and local birdlife to watch. And the stars at night were magnificent. I was in awe with the amount of stars that were visible at night. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing land Wendy, and offering such an abundance of resources, it was so helpful during our stay.

We had an incredible stay at Mark’s property and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The scenery is absolutely stunning, with a beautiful creek running along one side and a farm full of grazing cows on the other. It felt like a true escape into nature.
There was ample space for our setup, and because the sites are so spread out, the other campers were far away. It was incredibly quiet with no noise at all, making it the perfect spot to unplug and relax. Mark was a fantastic host—very friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. We’ll definitely be back!

The Long Hole Camping on the farm was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by Mark, wide-open paddocks, fresh country air, and the gentle sounds of animals in the distance. The hosts were warm and accommodating, making us feel right at home.
we will be back soon.
