Madge and Neil went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay at Afton Park. They were friendly and ensured amenities were clean and well stocked. Sites were lovely under the trees of their property and well distanced from the other sites, so was private. My dog absolutely loved her stay there as well, lots of space for her to explore around the site. Would definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Afton Park - Heart of the Bellarine

I loved camping in my van with my two dogs at Afton Park! Madge and Neil were so kind and helpful - nothing was too difficult for them. Literally the only thing I could say a word against was the mosquitoes, but they were only bad for one night and then they vanished! Nothing we couldn't handle 😄 A lovely quiet and peaceful stay, only 10 minutes from the beach. Could not recommend highly enough!

Madges Hipcamp is close to ocean grove/Barwon heads and much of the bellarine. Madge provided clean toilet facilities and a camp kitchen with sink and water, mozzie repellents, cleaning goods. There were rubbish and recycling bins, and fireplaces, one of which was stacked up with wood. The sites are huge and flat with nice shade trees around the outside of the field. There are only four sites to a very large area. Plenty of room to spread out.

We really enjoyed our stay. The horses were beautiful to watch, and the campsite was clean and well maintained. Our little white dog even went home looking cleaner than we expected! He also became great friends with Jenny’s dog, which absolutely made our day. Thanks for hosting us, Jenny - we’ll definitely recommend your place and we’d love to return.

We had a wonderful stay at Kiernan Park Equestrian Centre. Being surrounded by such beautiful countryside, horses, roos and rabbits, it was beyond relaxing. We had a couple of great nights around the fire too. Jenny was the perfect host, taking care of us and chatting whilst our doggos played. Jenny's doggo, Whiz, is gorgeous. We'll definitely be back when we're exploring the Yarra Valley again. Highly recommended.

Just as described, simple and relaxing. Jenny and her horses made this the “best camping ever” for my little man. Finding a horizontal spot for your tent isn’t possible, but it’s not that bad either.

We loved staying here. The farm is lovely and rustic, camp is next to a road but it’s no-through so traffic is very limited. Horses are beautiful and very well loved, we saw kangaroos and lots of rabbits and loved exploring the farm. Jenny was a great host and very patient with our kids when we did the meet the horses tour, and every time we saw her! A great base to visit the Yarra Valley and all the little towns around.

A very pleasant weekend at Kiernan Park. A working horse farm and everyone was really friendly. Enough space to spread out and make yourself at home. Lots of birds song in the morning and great to see the stars at night. Jenny was very proactive in her communication and checked in throughout the weekend to make sure we were alright. A lovely base to explore the Yarra Valley from.
