Campfires are allowed subject to local fire restrictions and must be fully extinguished before you turn in for the night. Please search for the CFA website 'Fire Danger Period: Can I or Can't I?' which has all of the appropriate information. Each site has a fire pit which you can use providing it is not a total fire ban. Firewood is available at a cost to you of $50 per wheelbarrow load which will easily cover two nights. We have four separate camping locations on the property; you can easily have up to four RVs on sites 1, 2 and 4 and two on site 3. We have tried to ensure privacy for each location but you may be able to see other guests and/or the house through the many trees. Please be aware that there are two dams on the property so children should supervised at all times. My own children swim in the dam and there is a kayak available but lifejackets must be worn by children in, around and on the water to minimise risk. Pets are welcome. The kangaroos may prove quite enticing for some pets and as such we recommend dogs be kept on their leash. Site 4 has ringlock fencing and farm gates which can be helpful to contain your pets.

The paddock was open and tidy, easy for big or small setup. Catherine provided easy instructions to access the site. Fencing around the paddock keep the dog in which gave us a peace of mind as my dog has bad recall.

Perfect quiet spot to recharge, firewood available for a cost, donate your cans if you can, saw a good amount of kangaroos and birds who also call this place home. Communication with Catherine was great, we felt comfortable before, during and after our stay! Would recommend if you’re looking for somewhere to base or recharge after a visit to the city.

Amazing place for a quick getaway only 1 hr from Melbourne. Brilliant host and a lovely property. Backs onto a nature reserve which is great for walks and the kids loved the little dam to have a splash in!

2 nights at Kyneton Quiet Camp Out

Catherine’s property is an ideal short drive out of Melbourne for a relaxed short bush camp. We stayed two nights in Site 1, which was spacious and very quiet. There are some houses around so it’s not totally out bush, but the houses are well concealed by trees. We did look out over the bush and did have kangaroos bouncing around. We enjoyed sitting by our open fire, and whilst we did take our own fire wood Catherine does provide it, for a price. The town of Kyneton is only 10 mins drive away for coffee etc and the other small towns are also close. Overall we enjoyed our two nights out bush.

Great spot and very private. Nice area to explore and do walking trips, dogs loved it. Unfortunatley could stay only 1 night instead of two due to really heavy rain (our set up is not that advanced…) But would book it again.

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.

Fantastic place to spend the AFL grand final weekend. Very quiet and out in nature which suits us perfectly. A little tricky to get in if you have a long van and tow car, but with a bit of manoeuvring we all got into our spot.
