150 acres of river flats with beautiful big gums, lagoons and 1km length of ovens river frontage. A beautiful grassy, shaded area with stunning views, privacy and seclusion. The site has a lovely sweeping bend that has water that's suitable for families to swim in with some shallow water for littlies to paddle in. There is also some lovely sand for the kids to play in. Locally you are in the middle of the two famous valleys which offer some amazing gourmet experiences. You are within minutes from the King valley or the ovens Valley. And 50mins from Bright with all the beautiful towns and attractions on the way. You're spoilt for choice in this location for wineries, restaurants, berry farms. Famous town of Beechworth is only 30mins. Ideal location if you feel like leaving the magic camp ground that will provide you with a real sense of peace and relaxation with not a building in sight. Please get in touch if you have any questions regarding the camping sites or bookings.

2. Wandi Farm

Wandi Farm is a small scale produce farm under development. It is set on 3 acres on the eastern (sunny) side of the beautiful Wandiligong Valley, just 5 minute drive from Bright. The property is on the side of a hill, which provides spectacular valley views to the north. Our family live in the recently completed straw bale house on the property, which sits well below the camping sites. The property has a fully functional camp kitchen with a large deck as well as a bathroom with toilet and shower. Due to the slope the tent sites are not suitable for camp trailers (the tent sites are flat but there is nowhere flat to park a car next to it) and the tent sites are not suitable for vehicles. Therefore we can only accommodate people with tents/swags.

Camp amongst chestnut trees in the Kiewa Valley. A creek runs through the property and it has easy road access. Lovely country views with nearby farms and mountains. Equal distance from Mt. Beauty and Myrtleford 20 mins. Near Wodonga and Albury. Quiet and peaceful. There are a few spots suitable for camping.

Pop Willowood on your list of places to visit next! Easy to find, gracious and no fuss host, grassy and level picturesque spot by the Ovens River that has the best collection of skimming rocks (see if your child can beat my eldest’s record of eight skips before hitting the opposite bank!). Thanks Sally - we’ll be back again soon.

Exceeded my expectations! Absolutely beautiful spot. I camped for 2 nights with my sons aged 6 and 18 months. Perfect mix of swallow water swimming for the boys and deep water for adults. Caught a couple healthy looking fish as well. Will definitely be booking again. Thank you Sally!

Weekend Trip to Willowood

What an amazing place to rest and relax. The sites were huge with fire pits provided. Lots of shade and sun depending on your preference. All you can hear is the sound of the water and birds. There were lots of flies but even people in town had the same issue. I would highly recommend Willowood. I will be back.

We loved our stay at Willowood! It was such a beautiful, peaceful property. The site was immaculate when we arrived and the built in fire pit was a bonus. My dogs loved swimming in the river and watching the cows. Our experience may have been an anomaly, as we didn’t see any reviews mention this, but the number of flies did impact the tranquility a little. We also came unprepared without any deterrents (rookie mistake for seasoned campers), so we’d recommend bringing some along to make the most of your stay. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and can’t wait to be back.

Gotta love this spot! We'd come back here time and time again. The sounds of the natural wildlife and Ovens River right beside you is nothing short of unwinding and de-stressing! Tent pegs easy to drive into the ground. We're with Telstra and there was consistently 4G coverage. Milawa is nearby for supplies or you can easily drive into Wangaratta also.

Absolutely beautiful spot to camp on the Ovens River. A favorite for our family and we go back as often as we can. We love the cows too and enjoy the cheeky calves coming to say hello every morning.

One of the most beautiful campsites we’ve ever been! The sound of the river flowing is so relaxing and different bird sounds and noises are calming! The ground is level and smooth so we find it easy for our camping set up. There’s a visibility between campsites but there’s a good distance between them as well! The host is friendly and easy to communicate with. The place is secured and we felt very safe! I love the massive fire pit provided which we used all day and night that kept us warm! We stayed for 3 nights and wish we could stay longer! Thank you for this wonderful experience!

What an incredible spot. Right on the ovens river, plenty of shade. Easy access, Each site is far apart so there is no camping on top of each other. We will be back!
