Loved the views! Shelly & Craig were so kind and offered for us to walk around the property if we wished. The one paddock with 4 spots gives you enough room to spread out and enjoy your site to yourself still. The sunset over the mountains was a cherry on top! We'd definitely stay again in the future.

The place was right next to the National Park, so it was easy to access for walks. There was a lovely little walk along the creek too. The campsite itself was spacious and was great to have free wifi and power. Make sure you order the eggs and sourdough bread. They were absolutely delicious. Clara, the host, was lovely.

So easy! Close to Melbourne, toilet was spotless. Great walks nearby. Power on-site which we used for a kettle for ease of hot water. Clara’s sour dough was a great staple to our meals along with the eggs. Kids could explore the creek and national park nearby. Flat site with easy access to car boot. Ideal for those looking for a quick get away from Melbourne for a couple of nights, with kids, to get some easy nature time. With a few luxuries of a clean toilet and electricity. Thank you Clara and Caleb for your lovely welcome and friendly chat whilst letting us have our space.

Weekend Trip to Glen Cromie Reserve Caravan Park

The sites are a really good size, right beside the river, the river is crawling with freshwater crays that are easily seen and caught from the bank. The park is quite a simple layout and ammenities are good and very clean. The park doesn’t have a camp kitchen and the options for kids entertainment is limited. We did have a good stay and enjoyed ourselves. We also loved the location being less than an hour from home.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Canna Vale Farm Stay, hosted by the amazing Shelly and Craig. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel so warm and welcome – nothing was ever too much trouble. We were lucky enough to enjoy a tour around the farm, where we got up close and friendly with the animals, which was such a highlight. The property itself is stunning, with beautiful views in every direction. The location is fantastic and easy to find, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Shelly and Craig are some of the friendliest and most genuine hosts we’ve ever met, and their passion for what they do shines through. We left feeling relaxed, happy, and already planning our next visit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We will definitely be back again!

We stayed at this campsite as a group of friends with our two dogs in our 2 campervans and had an absolutely fantastic time. The site was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. The toilet was genuinely one of the cleanest campsite toilets we’ve ever come across! All the amenities were spot on, and the host was super responsive and helpful throughout. It was a peaceful and comfortable stay for both us and our two big dogs. We’ll definitely be recommending this spot to others and look forward to coming back again!

This is a brilliant location with great facilities. Excellent hosts. Right next to a national park at the end of a dead end road. Power and water with a compost loo. You can pre purchase firewood and treat yourself to farm eggs and wonderful sourdough loaf. Make sure you have a long power lead and a torch for the loo. We will be back.
