Nestled right beside the Murrundini River, all 3 campsites are right beside the river, and well spaced apart for privacy and peace. Campsite 2 (site two) is shady,
surrounded by tall swamp gums, black wood wattles and tree ferns. This spot is at its best from late spring through to autumn .
Site One is a large flat area beside 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.

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.

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.

I loved the fact that we had the place to ourselves but even if there was others on the property it wouldn't have mattered because we cant see each other anyway. Great place for the dogs. we all just spent the time sitting in the river due to 40 degrees weather. so relaxing. going back 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.

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.

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!

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.
