Weekend Trip to Old Dairy at The Grange, Buln Buln

Had a great time coming here for our first trip in the van! Was nice and easy to get too and had plenty of room to get the van in. Jarrod was a great host and made sure we were all good. He even brought over some feed so the kids could hand feed the cows and sheep. Definitely worth the $25 a night.

Weekend Trip to Clancy Springs, South Gippsland

Friendly hosts, a great spot close enough to town but still quiet with a country feel. Gorgeous farm animals near by. Optional extras of Eggs were great and gorgeous colours & Fire wood and fire pit was perfect to sit around. Thank you for sharing your amazing place.

Weekend Trip to Clancy Springs, South Gippsland

Thank you Adrian for our lovely weekend stay. Kangaroo Rise camping was a beautiful property where we enjoyed a peaceful relaxing time away. The property was well equipped with everything we needed and had new and clean toilet and shower facilities. It was also nice we were able to bring our dog along for this trip! Thank you for your hospitality and lovely meeting you!

We spent our second Easter at Kangaroo Rise and it doesn’t disappoint. Adrian and Sandy are such nice people and the property is amazing. What a great way to relax for a few days

Weekend Trip to Clancy Springs, South Gippsland

This is our third stay and this time we took the whole extended family for Easter. Beautiful setting, caring hosts and high quality amenities. Suited our group with the option of staying in the flat for the non campers in the family. Starlit nights around the campfire and being able to have our dogs close by, safe to run around made it memorable. Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Clancy Springs, South Gippsland

Beautiful and peaceful. Tucked away only a short drive from Inverloch, Wonthaggi and Leongatha Kangaroo Rise is a tranquil retreat. Fully fenced area with amenities this is a fantastic spot for families and friends to stay. Variety of accommodation options suited us as some people didn't camp. Plenty of space for caravans, camper trailers, and tents. Huge camp kitchen and toilet/shower made the stay more pleasant. Range of wildlife roaming around include Kangaroos and Koalas. If you ask the host nicely they may let you visit the dam and the water dragons (owners pets). Highly recommend staying here.

Merc and his partner were really friendly and nice! Great experience as my first solo camping .

3 nights at Clancy Springs, South Gippsland

We absolutely loved our stay at Kangaroo Rise! The hosts Adrian and Sandy were wonderful and welcoming and very knowledgable about the area. Their property is beautifully presented and they work very hard to make sure everyone can enjoy their experience. The camp kitchen is impressive with a toilet and shower at back and both are spacious and thoughtfully appointed. The camping area has a great sense of space, we didnt feel too close to anyone, we could enjoy the views around us, and those views are spectacular! It was great to see the wildlife around the property too. If you have children, they will love looking for koalas, seeing kangaroos, a variety of native birds and the wedge tailed eagles are so majestic. The property is away from the road, and provides a peaceful, tranquil escape. It is also in close proximity of Leongatha and Inverloch for day trips out or supply runs. I cannot fault the property and we truly loved our time there. Our doggo was able to relax in the fully fenced camping area and enjoy the space and the smells. Pepper loved her stay! We look forward to another visit soon and will recommend this destination to everyone. Theres is also a two bedroom, beautiful, sparkling clean and modern unit to stay in as an option. Its truly such a magnificent property to enjoy. Thank you both Adrian and Sandy for a wonderful time at Kangaroo Rise!!

5 nights at Clancy Springs, South Gippsland

Another great stay at Kangaroo Rise with our young boys for 5 nights. As always, Adrian and Sandy were so welcoming and Adrian took time out of his busy day to fix our son’s bike. Thank you, can’t wait to come back!

4 nights at Ingenia Holidays Inverloch Foreshore

Excellent place, A literal stones throw away from the stunning Andersons inlet, 3 minute (max) drive to the local jetty Super close to the Main Street of inverlochs shops (Quite easily walking distance) Facilities (shower, toilet etc) are great, quite clean and modern, And bonus is you can use the big 4’s facilities next door (not my style of stay, very clinical, gated community kinda vibe, but all the same looked really good there also…) which includes sk8park, air tramp jumpy thingy, indoor swim park + indoor heated pool, Good for a day out too if the weathers being a bit “melbourney”👀😂😂 Would highly recommend ingenia inverloch, Spot on place and will definitely be back.👌👌✌️

Weekend Trip to Clancy Springs, South Gippsland

A picturesque spot on the hill with beautiful views of the bush and farms. With an immaculate shower and toilet, plus a camp kitchen and power in demand it’s the ideal spot to relax or use as a base for the nearby beach towns. The owners are friendly and go out of their way to make it a great stay. In short, we loved it!

Weekend Trip to Clancy Springs, South Gippsland

This is the loveliest spot to camp less than 2 hours drive from Melbourne. A fenced, sheltered paddock with access to power and water if needed and the recent addition of a well appointed kitchen with adjoining shower and toilet. Clean and well maintained. Numbers are limited to 4 so everyone has space. The highlight for me was the most hospitable of hosts in Adrian and the availability of a fire pit on request. Plenty to do nearby during the day. Venus Beach and nature walks followed by a winery lunch at one of the numerous vineyards in the area. Notable mentions are the appearance of kangaroos every evening, birdsong and stars to see at night. Thanks Adrian and Sandy

Fabulous site. We were welcomed to the property by a group of kangaroos. The kitchen, toilet and shower were all clean and very well maintained. Adrian was quick to communicate and welcoming on our arrival. Very happy to recommend this site.

Weekend Trip to Old Dairy at The Grange, Buln Buln

Enjoyed our stay here! The sunsets were amazing, as were the hosts. Easy drive to Melbourne city, but still get to enjoy the country side. We got to feed the animals and were recommended to head to Farm World - great stay here!

Weekend Trip to Clancy Springs, South Gippsland

We had a great time at the campgrounds. Peaceful surroundings—lovely place to enjoy the outdoors and wildlife (beautiful galah birds and kangaroos). Very clean amenities (toilet, shower, kitchen). Adrian was a great host — very helpful and accomodating (including with getting our fire started). Perfect for a quiet weekend away.

Caravan camping with full hookups in Phillip Island guide

Overview

If you want to see some of Australia’s iconic animals, Victoria’s Phillip Island is a must-visit. Famed for its free-roaming penguins and the country’s largest colony of fur seals, the island is also home to the Phillip Island Wildlife Park, with more than 100 different species of native animals, as well as a koala conservation center. You’ll also find a dramatic coastline with beaches perfect for swimming and surfing. Many travelers visit on a day trip from Melbourne, but by setting up camp for a night or more, you’ll get to enjoy all the island has to offer.

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.
