5. Kyneton Quiet Camp Out

78km from Williamstown · 5 sites · Tents, RVs · Kyneton, VIC

We welcome everyone who would like to relax whilst respecting the environment and all fellow hipcampers. We are family and dog friendly, with the space for multiple families to camp together on our spacious sites. THIS PROPERTY IS NOT SUITABLE FOR DRUNKEN AND/OR NOISY PARTYING!!! Pitch your completely self-sufficient sleeping quarters on our peaceful, flat, 7 acre property which backs onto the Bald Hill Nature Reserve and is less than five minutes drive from Kyneton’s historic Piper Street which is full of delightful restaurants and cafes. Take under an hour to drive up and explore beautiful Bendigo, experience delightful Daylesford nearby and meander around the wonderful wineries of the Macedon Ranges. Campfires are allowed subject to local fire restrictions and must be fully extinguished before you turn in for the night. Please search for the CFA website 'Fire Danger Period: Can I or Can't I?' which has all of the appropriate information. Each site has a fire pit which you can use providing it is not a total fire ban. Firewood is available at a cost to you of $50 per wheelbarrow load which will easily cover two nights. We have four separate camping locations on the property; you can easily have up to four RVs on sites 1, 2 and 4 and two on site 3. We have tried to ensure privacy for each location but you may be able to see other guests and/or the house through the many trees. Please be aware that there are two dams on the property so children should supervised at all times. My own children swim in the dam and there is a kayak available but lifejackets must be worn by children in, around and on the water to minimise risk. Pets are welcome. The kangaroos may prove quite enticing for some pets and as such we recommend dogs be kept on their leash. Site 4 has ringlock fencing and farm gates which can be helpful to contain your pets. Please be aware that the Kyneton Gun Club has their monthly clay target shoot on the 3rd Sunday of each month (2nd Sunday in December) from 11am until 5pm during which time you will hear them clay pigeon shooting. We are NOT a commercial campsite and, as such, you must be fully self-contained for power, water, showers, sewage, refuse disposal, etc. Guests under the age of 25 must be accompanied by their parents.

Loved the views! Shelly & Craig were so kind and offered for us to walk around the property if we wished. The one paddock with 4 spots gives you enough room to spread out and enjoy your site to yourself still. The sunset over the mountains was a cherry on top! We'd definitely stay again in the future.

Weekend Trip to Kyneton Quiet Camp Out

Perfect quiet spot to recharge, firewood available for a cost, donate your cans if you can, saw a good amount of kangaroos and birds who also call this place home. Communication with Catherine was great, we felt comfortable before, during and after our stay! Would recommend if you’re looking for somewhere to base or recharge after a visit to the city.

2 nights at Kyneton Quiet Camp Out

Catherine’s property is an ideal short drive out of Melbourne for a relaxed short bush camp. We stayed two nights in Site 1, which was spacious and very quiet. There are some houses around so it’s not totally out bush, but the houses are well concealed by trees. We did look out over the bush and did have kangaroos bouncing around. We enjoyed sitting by our open fire, and whilst we did take our own fire wood Catherine does provide it, for a price. The town of Kyneton is only 10 mins drive away for coffee etc and the other small towns are also close. Overall we enjoyed our two nights out bush.

Great spot and very private. Nice area to explore and do walking trips, dogs loved it. Unfortunatley could stay only 1 night instead of two due to really heavy rain (our set up is not that advanced…) But would book it again.

Fantastic place to spend the AFL grand final weekend. Very quiet and out in nature which suits us perfectly. A little tricky to get in if you have a long van and tow car, but with a bit of manoeuvring we all got into our spot.

Absolutely loved our time at Shelly and Craig's land. Easy access, beautiful views, and amazing hosts. Lots of animals and walks to keep you busy, but the peace and quiet offers a nice relaxing getaway. Sitting around the fire, watching the sunset was a highlight. We will definitely be back!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Canna Vale Farm Stay, hosted by the amazing Shelly and Craig. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel so warm and welcome – nothing was ever too much trouble. We were lucky enough to enjoy a tour around the farm, where we got up close and friendly with the animals, which was such a highlight. The property itself is stunning, with beautiful views in every direction. The location is fantastic and easy to find, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Shelly and Craig are some of the friendliest and most genuine hosts we’ve ever met, and their passion for what they do shines through. We left feeling relaxed, happy, and already planning our next visit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We will definitely be back again!
