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. Restaurants, cafes, and wineries are all a short drive from here. Yarra Ranges National Park is also on our door step.

Or.....you can chill out and just enjoy the serenity and views from your campsite.

I came to get away by myself for one night and stayed for two. The lovely hosts Glen and Kim were so welcoming and there was always clear communication. The sites are flat and so spacious right on the creek. What a peaceful place. I love that it’s dog friendly (I wish I’d brought my pup) and I can’t wait to come back with a small group of like minded nature loving friends. I dipped in and out of the creek all day.

Such a wonderful spot! We were lucky enough to get a shady spot by the creek with our pups. We had some hot weather and were able to hop in and out to keep cool, it was a total game changer.
The camping toilets were immaculate.
Kim and Glen are warm hosts and we will definitely be back. Thank you!

Lovely well managed and looked after property. Plenty of space for kids to fly drones and throw frisbees around. Great to cool off in the creek.
Glen and Kim were lovely and hospitable throughout the stay.
Such a bonus to have a secure dog area to let the dogs have an off lead frolic.
Will be coming back!
