Nestled right beside the Murrundini River, all 3 campsites are right beside the river, and well spaced apart for privacy and peace. Campsite 2 (site two) is shady,
surrounded by tall swamp gums, black wood wattles and tree ferns. This spot is at its best from late spring through to autumn .
Site One is a large flat area beside the river that is good all year round. It has fencing and gates, perfect to let dogs run free without going too far.
Site 3 (Craig's flat), is a large open campsite, able to take more camper-vans/ tents with plenty of space.
All sites have fire places and gas BBQ's (byo gas bottle) And there are plenty of fish for those that want to try their luck.
All sites and river swimming are clothing optional, but please respect other campers in public area's if on site.
In response to a recent review, I will point out that the driveway is a gravel farm track.
We have some fantastic views from the hill up and down the Murundindi Valley, especially at sunset. We're located only a few short km's from Wilhelmina Falls and Murundindi Scenic Reserve, you get the best part of the river, without the crowds. We are a
short drive from Melbourne, and easy access to the townships of Yea and Yarra Glen for supplies if you need them. Amazing, abundant
and rare bird life to enjoy and photograph. (see guests photos). I am hoping to increase the nesting and habitat for as many local birds as possible, which has improved, but can get better with Your help. Not destroying large logs and tree's is first and foremost. But if you are inclined , funds for creating nesting spots are greatly appreciated. You can directly ask for donations to go towards specific prospects/ projects. Tawney frog mouths have loved this site till very recently, without explanation, found two dead in last 9 months, that don't explain how or why. For donations specific to conservation, please contact me direct.
With no light pollution this is the ideal spot for star gazing.

Our friendly equine companions are eager to share a carrot treat (under the careful supervision of our staff, of course).
Wildcroft Estate is perfect for people who love hiking and anyone just looking for a getaway during the long weekends. You can escape here and catch sight of varied species of wildlife as the sun rises or sets. There are fire/grill pits on the campsites and man/woman toilets and showers.
A rotonda for our guests as a communal area where you can enjoy a firepit while having a drink and a yarn. Dog-friendly dogs are allowed but on leashes.

Second time at this lovely site. Enjoy the sunrise or a campfire with the generous amount of wood. Close to the Bellarine rail trail where we enjoyed a cycle to Queenscliff. We also enjoy golf and there are multiple options. We will be back.

We had a great time camping on Luke's property. The paddock where the campsites are are easily accessible for 2WD cars and have a nice view of surrounding paddocks with cows, birds and wallabies hanging around. It's nice that we can bring our dog too. Also only a 5 min drive into Cowes. Looking forward to coming back!

Absolutely loved site 3 on Michael’s property. Each site is isolated from the other, grassed, tree lined and a fire pit - all adjacent to the river. Our dog loved the swimming. Perfect for that weekend getaway. Michael is extremely friendly and his communication skills were excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. We have a 2 wheel drive motor home and had no problems navigating the camp site/property. A working toilet and hand basin are located about 80 metres from site 3 - which was a bonus. The property has wonderful views overlooking the mountains. A hilly walk to a nearby lookout and seat was stunning in the early morning. All in all we had a wonderful time and I would recommend this property.

Anne-Maree was a wonderful host and made our stay feel easy and relaxed from the moment we arrived. She was generous with her time, quick to help with any questions or small issues, and genuinely cared that we had a great experience. Everything was thoughtfully set up and well looked after. We’re very grateful for her hospitality and would happily stay again.

Hugh was lovely and the site was very close to the beach, had lots of greenery and a built in fire pit. If you want super private camping the other campers are visible and you can hear anything too loud. The dogs had a great time running around chasing the ball with the size of the space and there were lots of trees for shade.
It’s a great site if you are wanting to spend time at ocean grove, barwon heads or port arlington etc.
