Loved the views! Shelly & Craig were so kind and offered for us to walk around the property if we wished. The one paddock with 4 spots gives you enough room to spread out and enjoy your site to yourself still. The sunset over the mountains was a cherry on top! We'd definitely stay again in the future.

Nobody else in site. Plenty of room if other campers arrive (no need to camp right on top of each other lile I've experienced elsewhere). The Little River pub is not far away and the do awesome beef ribs and cold beers. Cheers

Weekend Trip to Little River Camp

I enjoyed my stay at Little River camp. Nothing better than waking up hearing the birds, sheeps and the roos. The place is only 30-40 mins away from the western suburbs but it’s very large, quiet and away from all the city life. Plenty of spots to choose from and the view of the farm, hills and its wildlife are magnificent. Hosts are very helpful and responsive. Would definitely be back here and recommend 👍🏼

We very much enjoyed the massive amount of space and privacy this camp offers. It was located close enough to Melbourne to visit family and close enough to the spirit of tas for our trip home. It is pretty much flat acreage with the you yangs as your back drop. Lots of kangaroos and sheep. Yes there is a rifle range up the road so yes you may hear them during the day but didn’t bother us.

Weekend Trip to Little River Camp

We really enjoyed the environment with what seems a limit of three areas set well apart. It’s predominantly an open paddock with the odd tree, and a few small dams. A fire pit but no amenities so it’s like bush camping except there is a per person fee which is a bit steep considering. It is next door to a paint ball and rifle park so if the sound of gun shots is not your thing consider that. It is close to the You Yangs mountain bike trails which is why we were there, the boys had a fabulous time.

Absolutely loved our time at Shelly and Craig's land. Easy access, beautiful views, and amazing hosts. Lots of animals and walks to keep you busy, but the peace and quiet offers a nice relaxing getaway. Sitting around the fire, watching the sunset was a highlight. We will definitely be back!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Canna Vale Farm Stay, hosted by the amazing Shelly and Craig. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel so warm and welcome – nothing was ever too much trouble. We were lucky enough to enjoy a tour around the farm, where we got up close and friendly with the animals, which was such a highlight. The property itself is stunning, with beautiful views in every direction. The location is fantastic and easy to find, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Shelly and Craig are some of the friendliest and most genuine hosts we’ve ever met, and their passion for what they do shines through. We left feeling relaxed, happy, and already planning our next visit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We will definitely be back again!
