Our 3rd stay at Bruthen Creek and we'll be back! We love the separate camping sites on the property, plenty of space between them and feel like we're bush camping alone. Beautiful location & landscape, with farm animals (lucky to see baby calves again!), kangaroos, emus and birds. Short drive to Woodside Beach, Woodside pub, Yarram and other attractions.

Weekend Trip to Kookaburra Ridge Farm Camp

Daniel sent a message a few days ahead of the trip which proved to be really helpful for some of the other campers joining us. The site itself was well kept and easily fit our two tents and two swags. The firepit area was well maintained, there was plenty of space to setup and the firewood purchased/provided was great for burning.

Weekend Trip to Kookaburra Ridge Farm Camp

Campsite 3 was a fantastic spot—conveniently located near the toilet facilities and offering stunning views. It was the perfect place to unwind and truly disconnect, especially with no mobile reception. From the site, we could see cows grazing peacefully, all while enjoying the fresh country air. The firewood bundle provided was generous and lasted us two nights, which was a pleasant surprise. The only minor drawback was the proximity to the road—about 200 to 300 meters away—so we could frequently hear vehicles passing by. Overall, we were very happy with the campsite and would definitely recommend it for a peaceful getaway.

Second time staying here and it honestly just gets better each visit. The campground is spotless, peaceful, and set up perfectly for a relaxing getaway. The hosts go above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly and you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. Couldn’t recommend this place enough – already looking forward to the next !

Weekend Trip to Kookaburra Ridge Farm Camp

Peaceful and Beautiful Spot for Camping Lovers! ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ We recently camped at Kookaburra Ridge Farm Camp Site One – Privacy, and it was a truly wonderful experience! If you’re someone who enjoys peace, quiet, and being surrounded by nature, this spot is absolutely perfect. The scenery was stunning, and the sense of privacy made it feel like a hidden gem. Our group had a great time and really enjoyed every bit of our stay. However, there were a few things that could be improved. The toilet facility was nearly full when we arrived, which was a bit of a challenge for our group of six staying for two nights and three days. We were also told that there would be portable, drinkable water available, but we found only a small amount of rainwater that wasn’t suitable for drinking — so definitely recommend bringing your own supply. Another minor issue was that we had to clean up lamb droppings around the campsite before setting up, but once that was done, everything else went smoothly. Despite these small setbacks, the overall atmosphere and natural beauty of the campsite made up for it. We would love to come back again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful escape into nature!

We were in the forest edge camp and loved the experience. Damian is a fantastic host and immediately made us feel welcome. The site was large and with enough shelter and coverage around us that we didn't feel any wind but still had solar during the day. The outlook over the paddocks was great and between the paddocks and the forest the kids had ample space to explore and roam. Thanks so much we look forward to coming back!

This was a great spot to experience off grid camping. A wonderful landscape as a backdrop to wake up to and enjoy a fire into the evening. The hosts were very welcoming and we were able to feed the horses with our young ones. Also do get the eggs they were delicious. Will return.
