Welcome to Casa Cucina or the River House, a whimsical, quiet space to chill and enjoy the unique environment, calm and beauty.
PLEASE NOTE UP FRONT, Our page says 1 site, this site can hold 4 caravans, tents or trailers at any one time, in one group. Each Van/ tent allows for 2 adults and 2 children under 16. Our base price includes 1 vehicle and 4 guests. Any vehicles or guests above this will incur an additional fee - please ensure you enter the correct number of guests and vehicles when making your booking.

We are 1 hour East of Melbourne along the M1, (and a couple of kms off the M1). Situated in West Gippsland. Casa Cucina is a feast for the senses and very close by you can enjoy the alpine majesty of the Baw Baw Plateau, the Bunyip State Forest, the (mostly) lush green valleys, to the rivers and streams.
The Tarago River backs onto our small yet spacious, open yet shaded space. The river is shallow for paddling, not really ‘swimmable’, a lovely spot to cool off on our warm summer days, or a mesmerising place to sit, watch, read, contemplate, draw or write. Some large old Mountain Ash remain along the river bank, with lots of new plantings. It is not uncommon to see an echidna, a variety of stunning birdlife, and on dusk, maybe a wombat family and folks, we also host a family of platypus if you are very quiet - mainly seen at dawn or dusk.
Our space can accommodate max of 4 caravans, tents or trailers (no more than 3 metres) in one group (one booking). In addition, the upper adjoining block can accommodate 2 caravans (enquire for this option). This is a single group occupancy site so you can enjoy the privacy of your own group.

I just finished my second stay at this campsite and will definitely be back again. The grounds are always spotlessly clean, well maintained, and really easy to get to, which makes arriving and setting up super straightforward.
Hosts Shelley and Craig are consistently friendly, accommodating, and genuinely helpful. Last night my stove ignition failed and I was stuck without a way to cook, but they completely saved me by lending me a match at short notice. It’s small things like that which show how much they care about their guests.
If you’re looking for a clean, convenient, and well‑run campsite with great hosts, this is an easy recommendation.
Thanks again Shelley, Craig and the lovely cute dogs.

We stayed at Saltwood for the weekend and it was magical. Tessa and Sam are wonderful hosts, the sites are private and quiet and the bushland surrounding them is full of birds and wildlife.
The shower and toilet was clean and the water runs hot. There is also a mini kitchen area with a toaster, kettle and microwave.
My daughters enjoyed using the hammocks and wooden go karts down the hill. But the star of the show was the flying fox!!! Hours of fun was had.
We were sad to leave and will be making this a regular camping experience, being an hour away from home it’s easy to pack up and get away from it all whenever the weather is good.
Thanks Sam and Tessa - see you soon.

We LOVED our stay here. Amanda is such a cool host. The rustic, farmhouse-style kitchen and bathroom areas truly made us so happy. The tea lights lighting the pathway to the outdoor shower and bath were such a special touch. This is 1000x better than staying in a large campsite. The lighting made it feel cosy and the well maintained land felt like a home away from home. We felt very safe and had privacy. Also so happy that dogs are allowed and only on leash, which suited us perfectly. We stayed in our campervan and had everything we needed. We only wished we didn’t have to set off so early in the morning. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you ☺️☺️

An easy 1.5hr drive from Melbourne. This was the perfect little getaway for a few nights.
The flushable toilets and sink to wash your hands was a real little treat.
I went mid week so the cellar door wasn't open but it is open on the weekends so if you're camping on the weekend it's an excellent spot to go and just stumble back the short distance to the camp sites.
Chris was a breeze to deal with.

The River block/Casa Cucina was so tranquil, and Chris was such a kind and welcoming host. We loved the various benches and picnic tables positioned along the river where we could eat lunch, have a cuppa and enjoy the view.

Where to go
Summerlands
On the southwestern tip of Phillip Island, Summerlands is home to the island’s main attraction, the Penguin Parade. The natural spectacle of tens of thousands of penguins emerging from the ocean and waddling toward their nests takes place just after sunset every evening. Nearby you’ll find Nobbies Centre, outside of which you can see fur seals and birds, then learn about them through interactive displays. As Summerlands is a protected area, you’ll need to set up camp a little farther away. Nevertheless, you’ll find camping areas within a 10-minute drive.
Ventnor
In the small town of Ventnor, just a five-minute drive from the Penguin Parade, camping options include upscale glamping near Berry’s Beach and rural settings near Ventnor Beach.
Cowes
As the island’s main township, Cowes is home to several accommodation options, including camping areas. Your choices include family-friendly holiday parks with access to both the beach and nearby shops and restaurants.
Newhaven
In the southeast of the island, minutes from San Remo, Newhaven is home to caravan parks set upon sand dunes. Some parks feature powered caravan sites and non-powered camping grounds, plus comforts such as wifi and family playgrounds.
