We loved our stay at Foxes Den! The property was peaceful and nicely wind protected. Lovely to have a tree and a campfire at the spot, including firewood. Quite private as there is plenty of room between sites.
Camping with the bonus of a short drive to town and the beach. Had a great time and definitely plan to return.

Thanks so much Hugh!
I highly recommend Foxes Den, we will definitely be back. We had a great time!
The kids wandered the pine forests, had loads of space to kick the footy and fly a plane. We didn’t have bikes but they could have fun riding around. There is also a community bush kindy that is held on the property and my kids loved going for a wander to play and relax in the hammocks. It is very natural rugged play. The kids loved watching the wild rabbits and eagles fly over, some were huge.
The sites, although you could see the other campers, were very spacious, at night it was really peaceful. Each site had some log seats and a fire pit area with endless free wood chopped ready to use. Hugh met us at the property showed us everything we needed to know, he provided a 10lt bucket of water for fire safety. There was also plenty of water at the front of the property to refill our tanks. It is a little dry and dusty when the wind is present but nothing that worried us. I’d imagine mid autumn after a little rain would be great. We loved our time camping at site 3.

Second time at this lovely site. Enjoy the sunrise or a campfire with the generous amount of wood. Close to the Bellarine rail trail where we enjoyed a cycle to Queenscliff. We also enjoy golf and there are multiple options. We will be back.

We had a great time camping on Luke's property. The paddock where the campsites are are easily accessible for 2WD cars and have a nice view of surrounding paddocks with cows, birds and wallabies hanging around. It's nice that we can bring our dog too. Also only a 5 min drive into Cowes. Looking forward to coming back!

Anne-Maree was a wonderful host and made our stay feel easy and relaxed from the moment we arrived. She was generous with her time, quick to help with any questions or small issues, and genuinely cared that we had a great experience. Everything was thoughtfully set up and well looked after. We’re very grateful for her hospitality and would happily stay again.

When you first arrive you feel a little exposed but the big paddock fills with other campers and it’s really very spacious. Large site with shade and wind protection from the pines. Would recommend.

Hugh was lovely and the site was very close to the beach, had lots of greenery and a built in fire pit. If you want super private camping the other campers are visible and you can hear anything too loud. The dogs had a great time running around chasing the ball with the size of the space and there were lots of trees for shade.
It’s a great site if you are wanting to spend time at ocean grove, barwon heads or port arlington etc.

Great camping had on Hugh's property. Nicely quiet and private to feel isolated from civilisation yet a short 8 min drive into Ocean Grove cafes, shops, supermarket, and the main surf beach which made camping in a tent with 2 young kids in tow very convenient for me. We had a portaloo so we didn't use the public toilets at the reserve across the road. Showers had at public amenities availble at the main surf beach. Big eucy tree at site 9 provided ample shade for play and hanging out and some for our tent from the afternoon sun. The site was located furthest away from all the other sites with plenty (and I mean plenty) of space to spread out. All other sites were spaced from each other nicely as well from what I could see. Hugh met us at the entry and showed us around before leading us to our site stocked up with firewood. Extra firewood if needed was available and we were able to refill our 20 litre water container on the property as well. Hugh's a great host; friendly and helpful. Communication at booking was prompt and clear. Will definitely stay again.

We loved camping at Fox’s Den only 10 minutes drive from Bowen Heads. Hugh communicated well and greeted us on arrival and showed us around. There was plenty of firewood available and water, if we ran out of our water.
There was lots of room so we weren’t too close to fellow campers.
We brought tents, a camp toilet and a privacy tent and it all worked very well at the campsite.
