This is an “old school” caravan park. Big sites, basic but spotless amenities (bathrooms, laundry, camp kitchen), no jumping pillow or pool but open space and a gorgeous small river as the boundary (“Little Yarra River”) - teeming with life (but too small for “swimming” or “tubing” - think lazing and picnics with a lovely backdrop.
If you enjoyed the simplicity and affordability of caravanning and camping in the 60’s and 70’s… or you see your grandparent’s photos and yearn for that simplicity - we are the park for you!

Set on over 8 acres of sunny, beautiful, quintessentially Australian land - stay with resident Koalas, Kangaroos and other wildlife on much larger than usual power/water sites and gloriously spacious and sunny unpowered grass sites.
This is an “old school” caravan park. Big sites, basic but spotless amenities (bathrooms, laundry, camp kitchen), no jumping pillow or pool but open space and a gorgeous small river as the boundary (“Little Yarra River”) - teeming with life (but too small for “swimming” or “tubing” - think lazing and picnics with a lovely backdrop.
If you enjoyed the simplicity and affordability of caravanning and camping in the 60’s and 70’s… or you see your grandparent’s photos and yearn for that simplicity - we are the park for you!

My friend Emily and I had the best camping trip at Bayview Camping Jaswar’s Paradise!
The site was private, enclosed and had a beautiful view of the horses. John and Liz were kind, attentive and made us feel welcome - they happily helped transport us between the jetty and the general store, and even dropped off some much needed medication we’d forgotten. We were very lucky to meet their 130+ animals, pat the horses and pick some of their blackberries. Highly recommend staying here for a peaceful getaway not far from Melbourne.
This Hipcamp went well and truly above and beyond!

You wouldn't necessarily expect that being parked in the middle of a field would be all that relaxing but it is! There is lots of space between guests, it's very quiet and the beach is a short 10 min stroll away. Apparently there are fire pits available when the weather is suitable which we will look forward to next time. Make sure you bring your own shade as there are no trees. Very dog friendly. Would definitely recommend to others.

Location and value for money and only 2 other solo female campers so felt safe. Ranger helpful and escorted me to my spot. Brand new toilets and showers with lights on all night. Unfortunately total fire ban in place so couldn’t cook and there was a big fire pit (shared) used boiling water from the Scout kitchen. Only con was a bit of road noise from Hearn Road.

Clean basic campsites with option of open area or wooded site ( pine trees great, stay away from gum trees esp on windy days, saw a few large branches drop). Friendly, laid back, hands off staff.
Honeyeaters, magpies, parrots, grey butcherbirds and owls around camp.
Rustic but fun mini golf, bikes, included in booking fee. Good value for money. Close to beach and shops (short drive). Accessible by public transport ( Frankston Bus).

Lovely campsite & lovely staff! Amenities were good and clean. Only thing we could suggest for future, maybe some hooks to hang towels/clothing in the bathrooms, would be super helpful!
