Rancho Nirvana is a fantastic spot for a relaxing camping experience. Marc is a wonderful host and Murray the dog was a most welcome guest during our stay. Amenities are excellent/ as advertised. We didn’t use the pool but others took advantage during some very hot weather. Great location, close enough for coastal excursions etc. A great stay.

Marc is a great host and keeps his property in perfect appearance. His dog Murray is very friendly and the chickens and geese roam around freely and kept our children and grand children entertained. The swimming pool and trampoline was appreciated as well. We would definitely return.

Marc’s little piece of serenity was just what we needed as a family coming together after Christmas. The boys loved the chickens and Murray was just a delight, making himself at home in our camp.
Nothing was too much trouble for Marc.

As everyone says Clara’s sourdough and eggs are delicious
Drop toilet - amazing

Loved this farm! So nice and quiet, with beautiful rolling hills and some great hikes around. Grace was extremely welcoming. No reception, which was nice, but Grace did offer to use her Starlink if we needed some connection, which worked a treat. Thank you for having us, Grace!

Great location, close enough to cycle to local wineries. Easy access and level site. Nice facilities although we didn’t use them (kitchen, pool etc), great to sit by the campfire under the stars. Power, water and clean indoor WC. We stayed for 2 nights, Marc was friendly & helpful and Murray the Staffy was very sweet.

Small basic caravan park close to the Mornington peninsula, mainly permanent residents but they were quiet and friendly, safe spot with a boom gate and high fences, but it's a little grubby and unkept, the dump point is an old outdoor loo that is absolutely filthy but it works, the pool needed a good clean but the weather was to cold to bother with it.
Close to all shops and Frankston, the IGA is a 5 minute walk with a bakery and other takeaways also a good little restaurant called the fat chef that brew their own beers is well worth a visit.
We would stay again but don't expect 5 star but close to a 4 😅

Great little spot for "beginners" and those with kids. The activities like the ninja warrior course and the bouldering wall were a big hit. Yes, the camp spots are relatively close to the road but it wasn't an issue after dark. Staff on site were extremely helpful and welcoming.
