Belinda's paddock was just what we needed for our two camping families for an overnight stop. A large mown space, isolated but close enough to town. The fire pit was great. Belinda was a great host. Lots of joeys around for the kids to enjoy spotting. Lovely fire pit too.

private and quiet and lots of grass and trees and lovely spring water to use. Not a lot of flat space on the area I was in, but fine for me and my swag. Very close to Kinglake shops with a good supermarket, and also a great playground for those with children. Good communication from Tamara.

The view surrounding our campsite was beautiful and the clear sky full of stars was a great bonus! The location is not too far outside Melbourne so it’s great for a weekend stay. Plenty of firewood and kindling around too. Highly recommend!!

3 nights at Bushy Ridge Hideaway

Terrific place to camp for a few days - having access to power and water was an absolute game changer and there is plenty of room for those who might to want to set up further down the ridge without utilities. The dogs loved the open space and there was plenty of firewood around (and gathered for us on this occasion). Close to Yea and Flowerdale - just perfect for a short break! The other campsite is not far away from the powered site on Bushy Ridge but was far enough away that both sites feel secluded. We saw kangaroos and some deer amble through the site one morning and the birdlife was as to be expected! This site is well worth considering!
