We had a relaxing 5 nights camping at Coopers Corner (fruit trees). This was our second trip here and will be coming back again. It’s quiet and peaceful here, loved the sound of the river and the birdsongs. All the camping sites are well kept with fire pits and most of them have river access. There are also hiking trials in the hill opposite the farm which was handy.

A lovely campsite! We had the whole paddock to ourselves right by the river. Flushing toilet was only a short walk away but not too close! Mick was helpful, friendly and a quick responder via the app. We’ll be back with friends!

This place is just perfect if you want a getaway from the city and really experience what camping feels like. The host was also very kind, and I would come back without thinking twice. One thing I do recommend is bringing your own grill, because the ones they provide are rusty and it’s not a good idea to cook something like a barbecue on them.

We had an absolutely wonderful, albeit brief, stay. The place is very private and peaceful. The water stream beside the site adds to the charm. The host is very accommodating as well. Would’ve loved to extend our stay.

Lovely private spot! So nice to go to sleep with the river sounds so close by. Toilet on site was an added bonus!

Fruit Trees was a great spot at the Hazelnut Nut Farm - well maintained, close to the creek, large grassy area. Access was a little tricky due to quite a bit of rain - especially towing a caravan. We had a campfire every night - wood is available for purchase onsite 15kg bag for $22 but don’t buy it as an added extra on the Hipcamps site - they charged a $9 service fee! Which really pissed me off. Otherwise, a lovely place to spend a couple of days.

3 nights at Hazelnut Valley Farm Stay
A beautiful valley in the high country, with a fast flowing river. A large well mown flat area with a fire pit. Plenty of wildlife; kookaburras, ducks, wallabies and deer. A very quiet and relaxing stay.

Unfortunately we could only stay for one night. It was quiet with reasonable privacy. The stream looks very nice. We'll certainly be back.

Had a fabulous long weekend. The site was large and by the river which was very relaxing. There was a great sized firepit where we enjoyed evening fires. Lisa and Bernie are great hosts. We did a couple of trips into Walhalla and had a great meal at the Erica pub.

What a great little find only 1.5 hours from Melbourne. The site was beautiful and well looked after. Michael was a pleasure to deal with and we had no issues at all. We're definitely going to share this place with friends. Thanks for having us Michael.

Yet again, Lisa & Bernie presented my chosen campsite in pristine order. The only thing stopping me from telling the world about this slice of paradise is I want to go back again and once the world knows that will be difficult.
