We are a working farm with cattle. The property features dense forest, sparse forest and open paddocks. The farm has calves which are hand fed, lots of birdlife, a dam for canoeing, and a pontoon on the dam for sunbaking. Our property is located close to Mt Baw Baw, 1.5 hours from Mt Hotham, and 40 mins to beach. Sit around the campfire in the evenings and enjoy a little star gazing. This campsite suits self-contained campers who bring their own camping toilet/shower. There is access to a drinking water supply. There is a shelter with a basic kitchen including an oven, cooktop burner and a dishwashing station. The kitchen has a pot belly fireplace to keep warm. We ask that you leave no trace and take all rubbish and belongings with you. During wet weather our paddocks do get a bit boggy so please send me a message to discuss, if you're unsure about your vehicle. We're located close to the snowies for all your mountain and snow adventures. Mountain bike riding and National Parks nearby, enjoy a quiet weekend or as busy as you like. Well behaved pets welcome.

5.3km from Lakes Entrance · 1 site · RV

Native bush property located within the stunning small coastal town of Lake Tyers Beach. Beautiful sandy beaches and the Lake Tyers estuary system—renowned for fishing and water activities—are only a few minutes away. It’s just a short drive to Lakes Entrance, the thriving holiday town at the gateway to the magnificent Gippsland Lakes system. Guests must be fully self-contained and have their own toilet facilities.

4. Cassilis Ridge

79km from Lakes Entrance · 1 site · RV

Nestled in a picturesque valley, Cassilis is a historic gold-mining town, where remnants of the past and old mine shafts and relics can still be found scattered across the landscape. If history isn’t your passion, there’s plenty more to enjoy: explore the many dirt bike tracks weaving through the area, or hike straight from the property into the vast acres of state forest that border the rear boundary. Also wine lovers are in for a treat too, with several local wineries nearby — and Butchers Gully cider is a must-try. For hunting enthusiasts, this is an ideal base to access the region’s designated hunting areas (please note, hunting is not permitted on the property itself). Convenience is close at hand, with Swifts Creek just 10 minutes away in one direction and Omeo 10 minutes in the other. If you’re keen on a scenic adventure, Dinner Plain is only 50 minutes’ drive, or continue a little further to reach the alpine wonderland of Mt Hotham in just over an hour. With so much to see and do, Cassilis is the perfect base for exploring the beauty, history, and adventure of Victoria’s High Country.

62km from Lakes Entrance · 1 site · Tent

Welcome to beautiful Paradise Beach. This property is just a street away from beach access to the stunning 90 mile beach, suitable for fishing or long peaceful walks. Keep an eye out for the local wildlife and make sure to catch the wonderful sunrises and sun sets. The property slopes down from the roadside to a flat clearing surrounded by trees for privacy. There is room to pitch a tent (or a few) and still have space for seating, a campfire or portable shelter. You'll find the entrance to the clearing from the 22 sign at the front of the property. Vehicles can be parked roadside, and camping equipment carried the few metres down to the clearing. Guests will need to be fully self contained as there is no power, water, washing facilities, sewage or potable water on the site, only peace and quite and easy access to the Beach. Guests will need to take all rubbish with them including biodegradable waste, food, cigarette butts, etc. Please note that this campsite is for quiet enjoyment only with sound to be kept to a minimum in the evening. Sound can carry easily, especially at night and we don't want to upset the residents of neighbouring properties. Campfires can be lit but fire danger ratings and restrictions must be strictly adhered to. You are welcome to use any available wood that we generally stack throughout the year. Pets are allowed but are required to be on a leash and under control. Please note that there are often mosquitos in this area due to the nearby shallow lakes and therefore we highly recommend you bring adequate insect repellent. The property is located 3.5 hours east of Melbourne. A short drive down the road you'll find Golden Beach that has a general store, a takeaway shop, great picnic areas, bathrooms and shower facilities for a small fee. There are also toilets at the nearby Paradise Beach Campground. Loch Sport is 25 minutes away and the larger town of Sale is 30 minutes away so all amenities are within short access. We kindly ask that you please provide any feedback of issues identified or any maintenance needed on the property such as rubbish or fallen branches. Note - The bell tent is not permanently located on the property.

This is a great place to unwind and forget about life for a while . It is easy to reach and for those that are self contained it is easy to unwind. Definitely will be going back at some stage.

Bush Camp is a such a great spot to stay! Great facilities- a fire pit (with a stack of wood), clean water on tap and a large area to set up and relax. Scott is a really nice fella and made sure we were comfortable. Will definitely recommend it to friends. Thanks for having us!

Beautiful private site that provides shade. Perfect base for exploring the 90 mile Beach and the small picturesque towns of Golden and Paradise Beach and beyond. Sheridan's communication was great, he provided a access map the night before to make sure I found the place which was easy. Will be back.

Weekend Trip to Pete's Paradise

Pete's place was really wonderful and peaceful. Exactly what we were after to break off our crazy stress from our lives in the city for a few days. If you are lucky you will see a man harvesting the honey bee hives at the farm and you will be able to buy delicious honey. This man is not Pete, it is someone else that lives in Stratford and just comes to harvest the honey bee hives The description says potable water available. Well yes water is available at the little house next to the camp site but certainly not potable. It was good only for a camp shower or cleaning the dishes

Private, peacefully and close to beach. We had a tricky time working out how to access the actual sight, realising that it needs to be from the back through a small lane way which the neighbours helped us locate! Amenities a few km’s away and local townships Lochsport and Seaspray well worth a visit if time allows. Plenty of wildlife- Bring strong insect repellent! Wonderful immersion into nature :)

Quiet and peaceful town, the campsite itself has privacy and close to the paradise beach, it's nice to camp alone here but perfect for the families, recommended of all time.
