Welcome to Summerhill Vineyard! Pitch your tent or park your camper on a private, elevated position overlooking vineyards, farmland and surrounding mountain ranges. Enjoy plenty of space and peace and quiet. The campsite is located on the edge of our 32-acre vineyard, on a 120-acre property. Guests are welcome to take a walk amongst the vines, subject to vineyard operations during the season of course. All guests must be self-sufficient with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. Campfires are welcome in the fire pit provided. Fire restrictions in place during your stay must be observed. Firewood is available for purchase from a neighbour, located opposite the entrance to Summerhill Road. 4wd accessible during the wetter months and 2wd during the drier months. You are welcome to bring your dog, just please note that the area is unfenced. We have a mob of kangaroos that visit and cattle and horses reside here also. We ask that our guests display responsible pet ownership at all times. Summerhill Vineyard is located in the Upper Yarra region of the Yarra Valley. We are a 5-minute drive from Yarra Junction township, with supermarkets, butchers and a small shopping precinct. The picturesque township of Warburton is just over 7kms away.

The most beautiful camping spot with stunning views. When the only sounds are wildlife and your own laughter, the stay couldn't be happier. Genuinely the most enjoyable campsite I have ever stayed in. Totally switched off from life. If you are wanting 5* facilities, it's not for you but exactly as advertised and a fantastic reset. We loved it and will certainly be back.

A beautiful property with picture perfect scenery. I camped at cypress hill, the spot was private and peaceful. Both Tonia and her husband Luke were friendly and easy to communicate with. The mozzies are relentless so make sure you have insect repellent.

Loved this farm! So nice and quiet, with beautiful rolling hills and some great hikes around. Grace was extremely welcoming. No reception, which was nice, but Grace did offer to use her Starlink if we needed some connection, which worked a treat. Thank you for having us, Grace!

The Wildcroft Estate was a great place to camp, with good amenities and beautiful views. The paddock is very open, so there’s plenty of space to choose the perfect camping spot. Grace was lovely and checked in to make sure everything was going well. Would definitely come back.

Great hospitality from Greg Great location general store and pub with in walking distance the publican is lovely a real wag of a guy and happy Nothing was to much to ask of Greg the owner of the property liked the idea that there is only 6 to 8 camp-sites allowed at one time which is great you can choose your own location to pitch a tent

3 nights at Summerhill Vineyard

This was a very private, secluded camp surrounded by gorgeous cypress trees and vineyards. It was incredibly quiet, and the dogs had an absolute ball running around off-leash. Tonia guided us out to our campsite on arrival, which was really appreciated, especially given it was Christmas Eve! The location is perfect for exploring the area and close to shops for supplies. The camp gets full afternoon sun, so an awning is helpful for a bit of extra shade. We had a fabulous Christmas here, Thankyou!

Weekend Trip to Summerhill Vineyard

We had a wonderful stay at Summerhill Vineyard, and spent two nights at the Cypress Corner campsite. It was the perfect camping spot very private, peaceful, and incredibly quiet, exactly what we were looking for. We were warmly welcomed by Luke, Tonia’s husband, who was friendly and welcoming and took the time to show us around the campsite and amenities. Tonia was also very communicative before and during our stay, and it was lovely that she later visited our campsite to say hello—it made us feel truly welcome. The place is absolutely serene, surrounded by nature with birds singing throughout the day, and we were lucky to see kangaroos and lots of rabbits around the property. It was a beautiful escape and a perfect spot to relax and reconnect with nature. Thank you Tonia and Luke for having us. We loved every bit of our stay and would absolutely love to visit again. Highly recommended!

We loved camping at the Boulder Brook Valley. Beautiful nature so close to the city. Nice setup, with flowing water, and the pergola was very handy. The planes didn't really bother us.

Tonya met us at the gate and guided us through her beautiful property to our tranquil campsite in the vines. Up at our site we felt we had acres of picturesque landscape all to ourselves. The fog over the vines in the morning, the crimson sunsets over the vines and everything else in between. We could have stayed forever!!
