4 nights at Grandview Sanctuary

Hosts were friendly and full of local insight. Site was luscious and green with a beautiful outlook over the rolling hills. We had a great weekend and would definitely recommend and will return on our next visit.

It was an amazing and peaceful camp and their dogs that kept us company. Thank you Chrissy for the lovely hospitality.

Very peaceful , but not far from civilisation/shops and tourist attractions . Chrissy, Judy and their furry family were extremely warm, friendly and helpful. Was nice not being in another caravan park on top of everyone else. Will definitely be staying again 🤩

A wonderful getaway for our family of four. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring Bendigo, whilst also spending quality time relaxing at Chrissy’s campsite sanctuary. Great facilities and our kids especially loved petting your gorgeous dogs!!!

1 night at Whip Stick Forest

This is a lovely quiet place with only 4 sites. Great to have a flushing toilet available. We didn't use the gas heated rustic shower but it looked fine. Handy for visiting Bendigo. The dogs are really friendly.

3 nights at Whip Stick Forest

Great location and host Chrissy. Plenty of room, property is well kept. Daz the resident Staffie, greats you with a smile every morning and throughout the day. Amenities are clean and the warm shower is a welcome treat after a day in the bush. Close to town which has everything you need.

4 nights at Whip Stick Forest

Chrissy's land was incredible. Very local to town but once you return to your camp site you feel like you in the middle of the bush. Hot shower and toilet available and friendly pets that greet you at the gate. Highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Weekend Trip to Blue Ranges

Plenty of space whether your on your own or a large group, quiet and peaceful area

Weekend Trip to Wildcroft an Escape to the Country

Stayed during the Easter long weekend. I loved the place n the host Grace was friendly n helpful. Learned quite a lot about horses 🐎 at her ranch. Clean toilets n shower giving you the comforts you need. There were about 14 campers in the campsite, but you had the privacy given that camping area is huge n had quite a distance from each other. Attended the Easter bf as well. Yea is only 15 km drive, n drove down to Broadford motor cycle track, to watch a track day.

Whip Stick Forest

6 sites · RVs, Tents2 acres · Eaglehawk, VIC

The Whip Stick Forest campsite is located on the outskirts of Bendigo. This is an ideal place to take a break away from it all. Peace and tranquility surrounded by nature. We are just far enough away from the town to offer the outdoors feel and close enough to town to enjoy sightseeing, and many outdoor activities and access to shops, fuel and most of the usual shopping needs. Here you will find a nice open space amongst the gum trees with drinking water, toilet, and outdoor shower. rubbish/recycling bins and access to wifi if needed. Relax under the stars with a warm fire in a secluded spot in the middle of open space and the fresh air. The property is fenced off, so you can feel safe and secure. You can relax and let the kids can run around knowing they are safe inside the camp ground. There are five dogs who live here. They are all friendly and love people. Especially Daz who will be your best friend while you stay here. If you don't like dogs you probably shouldn't stay here as Daz loves people. Only minutes from town where you will find supplies, close to the local swimming pool and 10 minutes from a popular watering hole. Enjoy all that Bendigo and surrounding areas have to offer, check out the historic gold mining attractions and come home to rest in a tranquil setting amongst the trees, the birds and the stars. Bendigo itself features some fantastic heritage architecture and a creative community. Be sure to check out coffee houses down little laneways and the many culinary options of the restaurants in town.
