Heaven on Earth. We must be the luckiest people alive to have somehow become the owners of this property which is only a short drive from the breathtaking Wilsons Promontory, and according to Lonely Planet, the second best beach in the WORLD. The property has an abundance of temperate rainforest including massive gum trees, 6m tall tree ferns, permanent spring fed creeks, our own lake and more Australian wildlife than most zoos*. Living here, we feel like we're on holiday every day of the year. Camping sites are situated at the back of the property just a quick 5-minute walk from the car park. We'll transport your gear to your campsite so you can get set up quickly and start exploring the property or just kick back and relax. The three campsites are positioned so that you won't hear a sound from any other campers on the property. You will feel like you've got the whole place to yourself. And even though the campsites are isolated you'll still enjoy the convenience of clean regular flushing toilet facilities. But unlike any toilet you'll have used before, you'll get to enjoy a our unique loo with a view which is situated right amongst the rainforest looking out over the magestic tree ferns! Whether you intend to simply relax and listen to all the birdlife, grab a few drinks and head up to the viewing deck to watch the sunset, or put on your hiking boots and explore the rainforest, whatever you do, you will truly get back to nature. As one guest said, "I literally wanted to hug a tree". So what are you waiting for, come and hug one of our trees**. * comparison made with zoos that don't have many Australian animals ** please ensure you have the tree's consent first ;)

You'll be on the doorstep of the most beautiful beaches, fishing, vibrant local towns and Wilson’s Prom. Wake up to birdsong, go to sleep to the sound of the waves, and spot a koala if you’re lucky. With an outdoor flush toilet (rustic!), cold bore water shower, fridge (old but works fine!), power for charging devices, and drinking water, you’ll be very comfortable as you explore the local area. We love it here and we know you will too. You will most likely be the only campers (we sometimes have a couple of groups at a time during the summer months, but only one group off-season). You’ll have your own private space but will be close enough to the action to see the comings and goings of our multigenerational family as we potter around the farm, veggie garden and orchard. Say hi! Say g'day to the curious chooks and friendly dogs and enjoy the top-notch "equine views" from your site with three lovely horses in the nearby paddock. (Please don't enter their paddock). Sandy Point beaches and store 2 mins drive Shallow Inlet Marine and Coastal Park 5 mins drive Fish Creek 15 mins (cafes, galleries, pharmacy, general store, pub) Foster 20 mins (local IGA, Aherns grocer, butchers/fish shop, pub and take-away) Walkerville North beach 20 mins Wilsons Prom 25 mins to gate / 50 mins to Tidal River Fires are welcome in our designated fire pit during the cooler months if conditions are suitable (e.g. not windy).

The grass can be a bit rough and expect some sticks and twigs and holes around. Horses sometimes graze the paddock and poo is picked up but if you're lucky you might find some remnants! No wild party groups, please! Please respect the peaceful surrounds, our family and neighbours, so please keep the noise down after 10pm. Sorry, but dogs are generally not allowed as we have dogs, free-ranging chickens, horses and cattle, and they may not mix well!

Weekend Trip to BBQ's of the World

What an unexpected delight. We stayed at the big tree site for 2 nights with our 2 kids (8 & 5). So much for the kids to do and explore. If you've got smaller kids and worry about water access, there's plenty of fencing. Heaps of room for a camper trailer, we also had a pop up 4x4 tent. You can just see the river from where we were camping, but the sound was excellent. Plenty of fishing spots, and the alpacas were so cute. We explored the bush, fished, dug for worms, flew a kite, played a few ball games. Would recommend heading to the local waterfall and the local pub too. Trent was lovely and even played guitar in the evening, which was a nice touch. No reception, but it was great to switch off and be device free for a bit.

Really great set up! All camp sites well spaced out along the river, with fire places and plenty of room to spread out or travel with a group. Some sites are flatter than others. Trent was a great host, very friendly and relaxed, and even brought his guitar up and we had a ball singing along around the camp fire! We were self contained but toilet facilities are good if needed. The dogs had fun and we didn't need to keep them on lead which was great. Very little phone service which might bother some people but we enjoyed the serenity! The last few km's in a hilly and windy but still manageable with the caravan. Close to the Thorpdale pub if you want to grab a meal. Would definitely stay here again.

3 nights at Hazelnut Valley Farm Stay

Lisa & Bernie's property has amazing well kept sites. Sites are large enough for bigger groups and separate to other camp sites. Beautiful river running through the property and along each campsite. Cute farm animals and nice hazelnut orchard.

3 nights at Hazelnut Valley Farm Stay

What an amazing spot. So quiet and well mowed lawns. Roads/tracks are very bumpy and need to be graded and holes filled in in spots, but apart from that we had a great stay. Boys fished and swam. Water wasn’t deep enough to SUP or kayak though which was a shame.

Gippsland camping guide

Where to go

East Gippsland

Journey from mountains to coast all in one day in East Gippsland, where highlights include Croajingolong National Park, The Lakes National Park, and Snowy River National Park. Further west, there are endless options for boating, kayaking, fishing, and camping around the Gippsland Lakes—you can even sleep in a glamping dome on Raymond Island.

Central Gippsland

The immaculate golden shores of Ninety Mile Beach extend along the coast of Central Gippsland, dotted with lively seaside towns, glittering lakes, and beachside camping and glamping options. Inland, lose yourself in the rainforest trails of Tarra Bulga National Park or go high-country hiking and rafting at Alpine National Park.

West Gippsland

Just an hour from Melbourne, the alpine meadows and patchwork farmlands of West Gippsland are peppered with laid-back country villages and tranquil camping spots. Make your base in Warragul, Drouin, or Garfield, from where it’s easy to explore the Bunyip and Moondarra state parks. In winter, the family-friendly ski slopes of Mt Baw Baw or Mt Gwinear are popular getaways for urban skiers.

South Gippsland & Phillip Island

The wild and windswept coastline of Wilsons Promontory National Park is the southernmost point of mainland Australia, and it’s a paradise for intrepid hikers and campers. Further west, Inverloch is the gateway to the beaches and dunes of Anderson Inlet and the dramatic sea cliffs of Cape Paterson. Wildlife is the star of the show over on Phillip’s Island, whether admiring the fur seals at Seal Rocks or watching the famous sunset Penguin Parade.
