Your choice of your very own 10 acres of pasture, although you will have to share it with wallabies, bandicoots, a variety of birds and the occasional echidna.
Views of Bass Strait and Western Port and walking distance to PHILLIP ISLAND Winery.
Only 5 minutes drive to great surf and swimming beaches and 7 minutes to the Penguin Parade.

Caleb and Clara’s site is so thoughtfully set up! They brought out eggs, bread and wood fire (you can purchase for so cheap). We set our tent a little too far from the power source but Caleb loaned us an extra long lead!
It’s perfect for those of us who want an easy camp!
There is a drop toilet (the cleanest compost toilet ever!) You could hook up a shower if staying longer as the creek was low.
Safe to leave your belongings and wander off too.

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.

Weekend Trip to Silver Creek Escape
Clara and Caleb have set up a little oasis at the front of their property. Whilst the house is in view of the campsite, you are very much left to enjoy the spacious camp area to yourself. The Silver Creek is just across the road and they are right next to the entrance to Kinglake NP.
You will be the only campers there and can enjoy tank water, power and a very clean compostable toilet. A campfire is also set up for use and you can purchase wood, early check-ins, eggs and sourdough bread.
Highly recommended for people who really want to get away to a quiet secluded area.

We all loved our stay at Steves place! Relaxingly quiet and private our elderly pooch really loved some space to stretch her legs. Steve and his dog Milo are wonderful hosts, always obliging while sharing some great stories, he is always on for a friendly chat. His place is quiet, clean and well looked after. It was a privilege and a welcome recharge from caravan parks. Thanks Steve and Milo we will definitely look you up again in the future!

Steve is a friendly accomodating host.
He even let me leave some gear at his whilst I transferred from one vehicle to another , an absolute life saver!
And super dog friendly which is a huge bonus in Geelong area . Limited pet friendly caravan parks available especially in peak season
Also provides power and water .
The location is awesome for getting around Geelong and to explore the peninsula and Great ocean road.
Highly recommend a stay here
