47km from Hamilton · 1 site · Tent, RV · Mirranatwa, VIC

Situated in a unique valley of Native flora and fauna with short hikes to 2 plateaus to take in breathtaking 360 degree views of the Grampians National Park (Gariwerd). This is a private oasis on re-vegetated land in secluded bushland. The property has been in existence since the 1870’s as a working farm producing some of the finest Merino wool in the world. Our wool is produced ethically and sustainably and is sourced by the Italian Woollen Mills to produce fine quality fashion. Our secret is the land and our nurturing of it and our sheep. We want to share our piece of paradise with campers who treat our land the way we do. Note: The creek and spring run in winter and spring—enjoy walking along the creek line under the Red Gums.

79km from Hamilton · 1 site · Tent, RV · Moyston, VIC

$54/night for 2 people. Remote farm at the end of a road, no neighbours, and spectacular views of the Grampians (Gariwerd) that is most stunning in the morning as the sun hits Mt William. One camp site (one group only). The site accepts 8 people but if you are just two people you will have the place to yourselves except for the kangaroos, wallabies, emus, echidnas and birdlife. The campsite is situated next to our family's holiday farmhouse that we visit sometimes, but only when there are no guest campers. There is a fire pit with grill plates available to cook over the fire (note open fires cannot occur when fire restrictions are in place). Campers have access to the flush toilet, hot shower and kitchen in the house. The house is a work in progress. We are slowly renovating the house, so it is a bit rough but it is clean and functional and you will have the place to yourselves. Please respect the locked private areas of the house. Campers are expected to bring their own cooking pots, plates, cutlery, camp chairs, etc. Only 4 km from Moyston where you can get great coffee and visit the historic Mine Walk. Halls Gap is 35km away or head through the mountains over Redmans Road that takes you the scenic route to Halls Gap (2WD accessible in dry weather). Kalymna Falls and picnic ground is a beautiful 15 min bush drive from the farm. If you like homemade jams, chutneys, ice cream and fudge, drop in and see Anita and Andy at Five Ducks Farm near Pomonal (https://fiveducksfarm.com.au/)

Weekend Trip to Redmans View

Highly recommend! Absolutely unreal view. Host supplied sticks to get fire started and a nights worth of wood to burn Massive paddock to choose where to camp in means that other guests were far enough away to ensure privacy within your own camp. Camp under the trees for shade or middle of paddock for maximum Grampians view

Camp set up at Bona Vista Spring camp site

This was my second time visiting this beautiful part of the world, and it was even better than the first. Complete privacy, a warm greeting from Noor and a space surrounded by the sounds of birds and frogs. It is great being able to bring our dog and to have the added convenience of the camp bathroom. We can’t wait to come back.

One of, if not the best camp and we have stayed at a few. Jason’s instructions were clear, even phoning a couple of days before to confirm we if we had any questions and to clarify a couple of things. He was a wealth of knowledge on the area and suggested a couple of places to go. The property, peaceful and private, views were spectacular, sunsets outstanding , the wildlife included many species of birds, wallabies, kangaroos and rabbits. Having the use of the bathroom was an added bonus. Cannot wait to go back.

Redmans View was the perfect off-grid base for our family to stay and explore the Grampians. Quiet and well-maintained land with stunning views. Loved the fire pit provided with a generous supply of firewood. Was also great being able to arrive at any time and choose any location to set up camp.

Weekend Trip to Gariwerd Farm Camp

We loved our 2 nights camping in a tent here. Jason was fantastic with keeping in contact and helpful instructions. Having the entire property to ourselves was so peaceful, the only sounds were birds and a visiting wallaby. Access to the house for a hot shower was much appreciated and we loved cooking over the bathtub camp-fire with the provided hot plate. We kept our dog on a long lead all weekend because we can't trust him not to run off chasing kangaroos but there was plenty for him to sniff on walks around the property and the track in. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a private and peaceful spot, we can't wait to return

Weekend Trip to Redmans View

Perfect base for exploring Halls Gap and the Grampians, especially away from the crowds. Great communication and directions, helped us find the property even on a dark and rainy winters evening. Delighted to be greeted by our choice of any site, and a welcome sandstone fire pit that was well-stocked with a wood supply to get us started for our stay. Very wet and windy during our June long-weekend visit, but to be expected in Winter. Made for a slightly slippery entrance over the main tracks for our 2WD, but sandy soils quicky dried after each shower passed. Overall, views were divine (when the clouds parted), site was quiet and serene (barely a car passed by after dark), and surprised by the handy access to nearby Pomonal - with local general store and free hot showers, that were a real bonus. We'll definitely be back!
