Weekend Trip to Radcliffe in Echuca

We loved how small and private this campsite was, and being so close to Echuca made it super convenient. We had the whole site to ourselves which was excellent and made for a really peaceful stay. There was lots of wildlife and birds around us, and we enjoyed using the great communal firepit in the evenings. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. It is a little on the pricier side for a small campsite with no toilets, but overall we really enjoyed the experience.

Fantastic caravan site, power and water was provided. Very secluded and the only caravan on the site. The site is very close to town and facilities. The owner Steve, is very good at responding to any questions. There is a dump point is close by, at the BP station. This site is better than any caravan park and would highly recommend this Hipcamp.

Great spot. Steve was great with advice and directions. He only lets the plot to one group at a time so hubby and I had it all to ourselves. The rain did make the grass muddy but you can park on the gravel drive, right next to power and water which was great. Small amount of road noise early in morning only. There is a dirt road that cuts through the bush - and walking to Shamrock pub this way was only 15mins( torch nec on way back) . Perfect spot for the town.

Thank you Steve! Perfect stop over, was great having power and access to taps. Great big firepit and could see some wood already chopped up to use. If you’re travelling with pets there is a gate and fencing. Our dog loved patrolling the border and having freedom to run around.

I usually don’t go in to too much detail on hipcamp because as a rule they’re pretty good. So in the interests of fairness and transparency to the hipcamp community out there: This COULD be a really good hipcamp, but there needs to be some clarity and honesty about what it is and where it is located. It is NOT 1 Acre of land it is a half acre at best and narrow and tight.. The truck/car noise is loud and constant, particularly the air brakes on B doubles all through the night. It is tight to maneuver a 9M Van and a 5 Metre 4WD to achieve anything close to a decent campsite because it is so small. We didn’t appreciate being unable to use most of the block because it had been so heavily watered. The only way you’ll get a 9M Van anywhere near the green grass would be by backing in to the site as there isn't a turning circle owing to the placement of power outlets and trees. Even if we had managed it, the the dual axles would have torn the site apart - I wouldn’t appreciate someone doing that to me, hence I wont do it to others out of respect. So essentially what we were left with was the dirt. The Power and water were the only real reward, although proximity by car to Echuca was also well regarded - but it is not 400 metres away. Sorry but Google Maps is pretty accurate on this - its 1000 Metres We drove in, and were forced to reverse out of a tight spot. My suggestion is read this review prior to considering this campsite. Photos attached for reference.

On arrival, we were created with a helpful smile and eggs. The fire pit area was prepared, and fire wood ready. We loved this stay so much the first time, and the second time didn't disappoint. We were offered suggestions on things to see on the area - and we are so glad we visited them, as they were amazing! Still so much to see and do in the area, so I'm sure we will be back again.

Damien is a wonderful host with great suggestions for places to visit. Location is perfect. Close enough to major towns but also offering the peace and quiet of a bush setting. A walk around the farm was a bonus. Campsite by the creek is perfect with great views.
