Second time at this lovely site. Enjoy the sunrise or a campfire with the generous amount of wood. Close to the Bellarine rail trail where we enjoyed a cycle to Queenscliff. We also enjoy golf and there are multiple options. We will be back.

We were very happy during our stay and loved the peace and quiet and views of fruit trees and tree lined forest. Listening to the Bellbirds and watching the Australian Wood ducks traverse the field was a delight. The camp fire setting was lit up at night around the water, very tranquil. Close to many interesting places to visit and walking tracks galore. Tara was very helpful sending us photos for direction onto the farm and came to greet us on arrival. Enjoyed eating the fresh fruit from the trees too.
You are rather exposed when the wind blows through and a 25 minute drive to the nearest dump point should be taken into consideration
if you stay a number of nights.

We had a perfect stay at Warburton Holiday Park. It is an excellent camp ground, with easy access to the river for a relaxing float downstream. The amenities were all clean and well equipped and the town & great old pub just a short drive away.
We'll be back soon!

When you first arrive you feel a little exposed but the big paddock fills with other campers and it’s really very spacious. Large site with shade and wind protection from the pines. Would recommend.

Hugh was lovely and the site was very close to the beach, had lots of greenery and a built in fire pit. If you want super private camping the other campers are visible and you can hear anything too loud. The dogs had a great time running around chasing the ball with the size of the space and there were lots of trees for shade.
It’s a great site if you are wanting to spend time at ocean grove, barwon heads or port arlington etc.

Stayed at Red Hill Orchard Farm first only 1 night, however if we are back in the area again we will definitely stay again. We arrived late which was no problem to Tara, there's a lovely lake at the bottom of the hill and firepit, to be fair if there was a group of you it would make for a brilliant weekend!
Thanks Tara.

Nestled in a long forested valley and surrounded by fruit trees this magnificent field (it must almost be two cricket pitches in size) is mainly flat with a lower sloping level that leads your eye to a tree lined pond; it is rather magical. We pitched our 7m Mercedes LWB in a great location overlooking the pond. We were the only people there for the first night so had first dibs. Two other families arrived on the second day but they were so far away from us you couldn't communicate even if you shouted. The bird life was fantastic (we hadn't come across a Bell Miner with a call like a hammer striking a wine bottle)
Tara and Steve were great hosts (not even a grumble at us being 15 minutes late due to following HipCamp Google maps link instead of entering the actual address... bit of advice: enter the Stanley's Road house address into your sat nav😉)
We thoroughly enjoyed a wine tasting at Avani vineyard (15 minute walk from the field) which Tara and Steve recommended.
All in all a top spot centrally positioned to explore the South and central regions if the Mornington Peninsula.

Great camping had on Hugh's property. Nicely quiet and private to feel isolated from civilisation yet a short 8 min drive into Ocean Grove cafes, shops, supermarket, and the main surf beach which made camping in a tent with 2 young kids in tow very convenient for me. We had a portaloo so we didn't use the public toilets at the reserve across the road. Showers had at public amenities availble at the main surf beach. Big eucy tree at site 9 provided ample shade for play and hanging out and some for our tent from the afternoon sun. The site was located furthest away from all the other sites with plenty (and I mean plenty) of space to spread out. All other sites were spaced from each other nicely as well from what I could see. Hugh met us at the entry and showed us around before leading us to our site stocked up with firewood. Extra firewood if needed was available and we were able to refill our 20 litre water container on the property as well. Hugh's a great host; friendly and helpful. Communication at booking was prompt and clear. Will definitely stay again.

Wow had a wonderful, wonderful stay at this very picturesque ‘fruit tree orchard’ in Red Hill South. Lovely greeting from Tara upon arrival. The communication prior was excellent and I found the property with ease. I had the choice of any of the four sites and chose site 1 on the second tier overlooking the fire pit and dam. Wonderful views to the south and experienced great sunrises and sunsets to the west. Very peaceful and my border collie dog loved the open space of the well mowed paddock. Red Hill shops are approximately 3 k’s away - with a walking track next to the road to ensure safety. Great place for a coffee. Also did a loop return walk back via the old historic Red Hill Rail trail. I was in a 2 wheel drive motorhome - no issue with the terrain. Would definitely recommend Tara’s land for R&R and walking. Many wineries within close proximity also. Stunning views everywhere you look.will definitely be returning.
