Views galore. Your camp spot is on the bank of your own private dam with views over the fields, dam and reservoir. Your camping spot is private with no others campers. You can swim, kayak and fish from the dams on the property and the Wurdiboluc Reservoir is only a stones throw away and is a renowned fishing spot. There are great 4WD tracks located around the area and a short 15 minute trip to Torquay or Aireys Inlet, 10 minutes to Geelong and Winchelsea amenities are close by, but you will feel a world away from it all here. There is no toilet facilities at the camp ground, but you will find a public toilet about 400 meters from the camp site located at the Wurdale Hall

A great option for any solo traveller (specifically female) who want some extra reassurance of safety. Beautiful scenery of the dam, friendly cows and plenty of birds and ducks. Very cold during winter so don’t forget your thermals and make sure you have the fire going strong through the night

Loved our recent stay here, well positioned to explore the Great Ocean Road without being caught up in the tourist hot spots, enjoyed a lovely rustic farm stay. The views was incredible, the cows adorable and the visiting farm dog full of energy and cuddles. The camp area isn’t the tidiest but after the initial view you don’t really notice. Will stay there again!

Beautiful property, views of the dam, rolling hills and surrounded by farm animals! Sunset was amazing, couldn’t ask for much more from a farm camp - cooking area, camp fire pit, hammock, kayak to use on the dam. Privacy from the main house - driveway easily accessible. Toilets just up at the hall.

We recently stayed at Ingenia Holidays Newhaven, and it was an absolute delight! From the moment we arrived, the check-in process was incredibly smooth and hassle-free, making us feel welcome right away. The park had fantastic amenities for our little boy, keeping him entertained the whole time. The playground and jumping pillow were big hits, and the open spaces gave him plenty of room to run around and explore. One night simply wasn’t enough—we wish we had stayed longer! We’ll definitely be booking again in the future and highly recommend it.

The site was very clean & tidy with excellent facilities. The staff on reception were very friendly & welcoming. We only stayed 1 night but would definitely recommend it as a site you could stay longer on.

What a beautiful spot! The campsite is very private and secluded and very spacious for big groups. The water isn't super clean and the cows poo/wee in it so we didn't swim but aside from that it was perfect for a stay!

Camping at Wurdale Waters bottom dam was a great place to unwind and enjoy the tranquillity with peaceful nights spent star gazing by cosy open fires. Lots of Birdlife which was a delight to watch as well as the Highland Cattle which were an impressive sight to behold. Very photogenic. A great base to explore the Great Ocean Road with Torquay being a 30 minute drive and Lorne about 40 minutes away . All in all a great place to have to yourselves. Thanks for hosting Barney

Beautiful and peaceful. Site had its own privacy away from the main road and a nice outlook over the surrounding lands and wurdi boluc reservoir. I found the dam although beautiful, didn’t look swimmable. Great fire pit too. Would definitely book again.
