Ellinbank, VIC · 1 site · Tent, RV
A unique slice of paradise just 15 minutes from the bustling town of Warragul and 1.5 hours from Melbourne CBD, providing the best of both worlds — relaxing seclusion and convenience.
Experience the power of Mother Nature as she quietly reclaims the land from this property’s industrial past. As a working sand quarry 45 years ago the natural beauty was denuded, but the scars have long since vanished beneath native vegetation that is gradually reinstating the natural temperate rainforest that belongs here. See where the early succession wattles have built the soil for the later herbs and shrubs, and witness the influx of flora and fauna. The 17 acres contains some cleared areas, some natural bush, some natural regeneration and a small pine forest.
Wildlife abounds, from baby wedgetail eagles and peregrine falcons to wallabies swimming in water troughs on hot days, elusive Gippsland Giant Earthworms, and regular wombat visitors. Still, cold nights are prime owl-calling conditions with sound travelling beautifully across the valleys.
Wander around the property independently, or join the host—an experienced grassland ecologist—for a guided tour.
This property provides a real getaway, with camping provided a good distance off the road. Travelling horses can be accommodated by arrangement in either a stable, or yards. A 20x60m sand arena can be used by arrangement.
Solo female campers are particularly welcomed & supported in this secluded and safe environment, with on site female host.
Local Interests: Mount Worth State Park, with its incredible giant tree walk and fern gullies, is only 10 minutes away. You can also travel along the iconic Grand Ridge Road, with its cathedral-like forests, toward Tarra-Bulga National Park to explore walking trails through cool temperate rainforest. The Grand Ridge Rail Trail begins 45 minutes away at Mirboo North.
Cafés, galleries, breweries, and wineries are close at hand, and daffodil farms that ablaze in golden glory form part of the view. Lardner Park, with its many field days and functions, is a short 15-minute drive. The surf beach at Inverloch can be reached in one hour, while the mountain resort of Mount Baw Baw is 1.5 hours to the north.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hugh’s this weekend. So much space between sites, we felt like we had the place to ourselves. Although Hugh had offered us firewood - we loved wandering around the pines & gums and collecting firewood and pinecones ourselves. Close to town and amenities, but far enough away to feel like you were in the middle of nowhere. Would highly recommend.

We loved our stay from when we arrived to when we left. We had sites 1 and 2 which were opposite each other. Site 1 with the concrete slab and Site 2 had access to an undercover shed which was perfect to stay out of the wintery rain and wind. Jarrod and Linda had left a fire drum and we paid $10 extra for firewood which was excellent as we arrived after work.
The sites are close to the road however well sheltered with minimal traffic after dark. Great views of Gippsland’s green rolling hills on one side and at night you can see the lights of Warragul on the other side. Thank-you Jarrod and Linda.

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.
