Hampton Park

Hampton Park is located in Winslow, just a 10 minute drive north of Warrnambool. We’re ideally positioned close to Lake Cartcarrong, Tower Hill, Koroit, Port Fairy and Woolsthorpe, making it the perfect base to explore the region.

Experience the peace and tranquillity of back-to-basics country living. Hampton Park offers spacious grassed camping areas surrounded by beautiful farmland, gardens, lawns and established trees. This quiet, peaceful property is home to resident koalas and abundant birdlife.

Guests are welcome to enjoy a community campfire in the designated area only. Bagged firewood is available for purchase nearby, and all local fire regulations must be strictly followed.

You’re free to choose your own grassed area to set up camp. Please note that Hampton Park has no amenities, so campers must be fully self-contained with their own toilet and follow a strict leave-no-trace policy.

We are dog-friendly; however, dogs must be kept on a leash at all times due to the koalas on the property. Fresh water is available from multiple taps across the property for your pets.
