Warm fires, starry skies, seclusion!
Great for caravans, camper trailers, tents and more!
Nestled in the valley of a 1000 hills and on the land of the Taungurung people, this little patch of hilly heaven is home to a small family of farm animals, dog and their two owners. With its rugged natural beauty, amazing sunsets and starry skies, it was hard not to want to share its beauty with others.

We offer a flat campsite and ridge top campsite.
Low gear and 4wd preferable during very wet months.

The property is borded by he Murrundini River on oneside, with hill side views on the other all 3 campsites have easy access the river, and well spaced apart for privacy and peace.
Site One is a large flat area the river that is good all year round. It has fencing and gates, perfect to let dogs run free without going too far.
Site 3 (Craig's flat), is a large open campsite, able to take more camper-vans/ tents with plenty of space.
All sites have fire places and gas BBQ's (byo gas bottle) And there are plenty of fish for those that want to try their luck.
All sites and river swimming are clothing optional, but please respect other campers in public area's if on site.
In response to a recent review, I will point out that the driveway is a gravel farm track.
We have some fantastic views from the hill up and down the Murundindi Valley, especially at sunset. We're located only a few short km's from Wilhelmina Falls and Murundindi Scenic Reserve, you get the best part of the river, without the crowds. We are a
short drive from Melbourne, and easy access to the townships of Yea and Yarra Glen for supplies if you need them. Amazing, abundant
and rare bird life to enjoy and photograph. (see guests photos). I am hoping to increase the nesting and habitat for as many local birds as possible, which has improved, but can get better with Your help. Not destroying large logs and tree's is first and foremost. But if you are inclined , funds for creating nesting spots are greatly appreciated. You can directly ask for donations to go towards specific prospects/ projects. Tawney frog mouths have loved this site till very recently, without explanation, found two dead in last 9 months, that don't explain how or why. For donations specific to conservation, please contact me direct.
With no light pollution this is the ideal spot for star gazing.

Michaels Site 1 (Rierside) was fabulous. There was fabulous open flat land to set up without being under gum trees. The site is within its own fencing. We didn't let our dog off lead as she is very prey driven however our camping buddies dogs were having a wonderful time roaming the block. Direct access to the river and all you would need around the campfire if cool enough to light one, and a flushing toilet to boot. We will be back, just so close to home.

Absolutely loved site 3 on Michael’s property. Each site is isolated from the other, grassed, tree lined and a fire pit - all adjacent to the river. Our dog loved the swimming. Perfect for that weekend getaway. Michael is extremely friendly and his communication skills were excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. We have a 2 wheel drive motor home and had no problems navigating the camp site/property. A working toilet and hand basin are located about 80 metres from site 3 - which was a bonus. The property has wonderful views overlooking the mountains. A hilly walk to a nearby lookout and seat was stunning in the early morning. All in all we had a wonderful time and I would recommend this property.

Anne-Maree was a wonderful host and made our stay feel easy and relaxed from the moment we arrived. She was generous with her time, quick to help with any questions or small issues, and genuinely cared that we had a great experience. Everything was thoughtfully set up and well looked after. We’re very grateful for her hospitality and would happily stay again.

We stayed at Site 1 and cannot speak highly enough of it. Access was easy for 4 & 2WD & the site is massive. We had 5 tents and a camper trailer as well as a dome tent to provide extra shade and still had heaps of space. Access to the river is really easy. The water was shallow enough to sit a camp chair and dip your feet but if head further up or down the water there are parts deep enough to submerge more (not really swimming though). Also did a bit of fishing (saw some trout but didn’t catch any). We also saw a wombat! The toilet is a bit of a walk from site 1 (about 400m) but the facilities were really good!
Michael was very friendly and easy to deal with.
We will definitely be back & have recommended this site to our friends.

Michael is an exceptionally friendly and welcoming host, he is very informative and gave clear instructions.
Site 1 is fully fenced, which made it very safe and secure for both our dogs and young children. The location is beautiful and peaceful, with direct access to the river and only natural sounds. There were no traffic or other noise at all! We loved the wildlife and the stunning views from the Lover’s Seat on the hill.
Flushed toilets are an easy 3-minute walk away, and town is just a short 15–20 minute drive. The picnic table, fire pits, and logs for seating were a great touch and made it perfect for relaxing together.
Our family of five absolutely loved this location and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a serene nature escape.
Thank you Michael!

Site 1 was amazing! We had so much space for a group of 8 and it was fenced so we were able to let the dogs off (until one of them figured out there was a way to slip out into the creek😆). The creek was nice and shallow for the dogs to play in and dip our feet in. The toilet was not too far and it was nice and clean. We also loved the short hike up the hill to watch the sunset. Michael was easy to talk to and very accommodating. Definitely would come back😁

Craig’s flat was a generous sized private site right on the small river. Plenty of room for caravans and vans with good shade trees on one side. It was too hot to use the provided fire pit or bbq. Lovely cool dips in the river hillside views and lots of birdlife made for very a peaceful and comfortable few days. Communication was excellent with Michael. There was a flush toilet close by.
