3 sites · Tents, RVs · Murrindindi, VIC

Nestled right beside the Murrundini River, all 3 campsites are beside the river, and well spaced apart for privacy and peace. Campsite 2 (site two) is shady, surrounded by tall swamp gums, black wood wattles and tree ferns. This spot is at its best from late spring through to autumn . Site One is a large flat area beside the river that is good all year round. It has fencing and gates, perfect to let dogs run free without going too far. Site 3 (Craig's flat), is a large open campsite, able to take more camper-vans/ tents with plenty of space. All sites have fire places and gas BBQ's (byo gas bottle) And there are plenty of fish for those that want to try their luck. The original home stead (built in 1876) burnt down in the 2009 black Saturday fires. There still remains many 150+ year old elms and other European trees near the toilet block, which are delightful in autumn. We have some fantastic views from the hill up and down the Murundindi Valley, especially at sunset. We're located only a few short km's from Wilhelmina Falls and Murundindi Scenic Reserve, you get the best part of the river, without the crowds. We are a short drive from Melbourne, and easy access to the townships of Yea and Yarra Glen for supplies if you need them. Amazing, abundant and rare bird life to enjoy and photograph. (see guests photos). With no light pollution this is the ideal spot for star gazing.

4 sites · Tents, RVs · Noojee, VIC

Leave the noise of the city behind and travel to Noojee, a town named after the Aboriginal word for contentment or place to rest. Surrounded by lush native bush and towering tree ferns, this picturesque town on the Latrobe River sits on the main access route to the ski fields of Mt Baw Baw and is home to a wide range of heritage and natural attractions. The property consists of 5 acres with a river, so you can set up a tent right next to the river and fish for dinner. The house is about 100 meters away from the camping area, but there are about 1000 Oregon trees that are 50 years old, so you can't see each other well, so you can enjoy nature freely. 4WD is recommended for easy access. We recommend tents/swags. 4WD with Heavy trailer is still very hard to enter when it is wet. Guests will have access to a toilet throughout their stay. There is a communal fire pit available, so guests can enjoy a campfire on the cool evenings. Please abide by any local fire restrictions during your stay. You can walk from my house to Noojee Heritage Centre, Trestle Bridge, Alpine Trout Farm, and Noojee Hotel for a delicious pizza, Cool beer from tool sheed and coffee from red duck cafe. You can drive to Toorongo Falls, Ada Tree in 10 minutes and Baw Baw Ski Resort in 40 minutes.

4. Nangiloc Caravan Park

We had a great time at Ferny Glades. Clean and tranquil listening to the river while sitting around the campfire. Michael was helpful and upbeat. It was easy to find and we fitted our van there easily. We will be back.

There is plenty of space between each camp site which is super important to us. Right next to the water which was a bonus. Plenty of wire wood and fire pit available. Lovely hosts who came to check in when we got there and asked if there was anything we needed :) we would camp there again!

Beautiful morning first light and not a breath of wind.. lots of black swans to add to the serenity

Loved my solo stay at Fern Glade Site 3. Spacious, natural, beautiful and remote enough to feel like a break from the world and I was lucky enough to be the only person at the entire campsite. Michael was great to chat to, helpful, communities and full of useful info about the site and the area. Facilities were simple but did the job perfectly and there are plenty of little nooks and walks to explore on the property. I'll definitely be back!

We had such a great time at this campsite! The location was perfect — right by the river, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. It was the ideal spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings. H was absolutely fantastic — super welcoming, easy to chat with, and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a quiet getaway with beautiful scenery and top-notch hospitality. We’ll definitely be back!

We had such a lovely weekend camping here. The area is stunning, and everything is well thought out. Michael showed such care and understanding for the wildlife which we loved. And it’s so close to Melbourne. A wonderful time, thank you Michael.

A beautiful spot with gorgeous waterfront views. Our hosts were very helpful and friendly. We had a most enjoyable stay. Would definitely recommend bringing insect repellent though as mosquitoes can be a bit annoying at dusk. Hopefully visit again soon

Great central location which is close to town, while feeling remote at the same time. Had the place to ourselves and had a lovely time alongside the river.

Great little campground except very wet and muddy when we were there. On fine days it would be great. Good track around oval and oval to exercise yourself and dog. Toilets though old were very clean. Didn't use showers.. Very close to things along Great Ocean Road

Of all the places within striking distance of Melbourne and despite strong competition.,This is the best. At 60 years of age and tired of getting splinters in my back doing Number 2s against trees., The dunny makes the place., Absolute bush camping with a toilet. Great for ladies and my back.Not to mention the appreciative fauna and flora

Best Hipcamp yet! Actual privacy, not "privacy" where you are 30m away from your neighbour. We were at site 1, and the owner actually has a little cabin near this site but it doesn't face Site 1 and is out of earshot. Site 2 is probably the most private site. Fern Glad is very peaceful, the creek is beautiful, the birds are lovely, and you can go on a few nearby walks up a hill or along the river. The toilet is clean, the fire pits are nice, and we would definitely go back!

What a beautiful spot! Sites are very well positioned. The Murrindindi river runs through the property. The kids successfully caught trouts with flies and lures. Nice little hike to the Love Seat. Lots of space for kids to play sports and for doggies to explore. Michael was very responsive. The toilet block was definitely a bonus! We will be back in summer time again.
