Murrindindi, VIC · 3 sites · Tents, RVs
The property is bordered by he Murrundini River on one side, 1km, with hill side views on the other. All campsites have easy access the river, and well spaced apart for privacy and peace.
Site One is a large flat area close to 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. Normal 2Wd cars have not had any recent issues.
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, king parrots, and many, many other birds call this place home. For donations specific to conservation, please contact me direct.
With recent changes,
Temporarily, removing site 2. please contact me for regulars.
With no light pollution this is the ideal spot for star gazing.

Tallarook, VIC · 14 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Our property, "Seven Hills Tallarook", sits high above Tallarook with deep valleys and high peaks, just over one hour North of Melbourne's CBD. The property is 600 acres of thick Victorian bush and farmed paddocks.
We have a wide range of hobby farm animals - pigs, sheep, alpacas, chickens, ponies, a donkey, along with commercial heard of South African Boer Goats. As night falls, the wildlife come out to play - kangaroos, rabbits, deer and wallabies.
Internally, we have in excess of 10 kilometers of roads within the property, the majority being 2WD accessible (weather conditions apply). There are parts of the property which are only 4WD accessible.
Our campsites are placed to allow you to be as isolated as possible - away from other campers (you may see others as you drive past, or they drive past you). At some of our bush sites, you will be able to see other campers, but they are not close by.
Additionally, we anticipate our Fire Danger Period for the 2025/2026 Summer Season will commence in the coming weeks. We have not toggled the Fire Ban on as we do still allow campfires, however campers MUST adhere to CFA guidelines at all times. On days of Total Fire Ban (TFB), no fires, including gas stoves can be lit outdoors. In event of the TFB toggle needing to be used on Hipcamp, this will advise all guests booked on that day and to all future guests. We will toggle it off once the TFB is removed. Furthermore, we reserve the right to ask you not to light a fire regardless of TFB status if we feel weather conditions are unsafe, especially the wind element. We cannot plan the weather and the request to not light your campfires will most likely be on the day and we will advise as such. Our interest is with your safety, our neighbors and our property and our family.

Melbourne, VIC · 6 sites · Tents, RVs
Due to an over demand we require weekend stays during the Summer months November to March to be a minimum two night stay. Guests are required to check in on Fridays, with Friday and Saturday nights as the two night minimum.
Weekends during this period need to be booked by contacting hosts who will open the sites on the calendar on request to allow the booking to be done online. Those guests requiring a longer stay that overlap a weekend can also be accommodated. Just give us a call and we will find a spot for you.
If you are checking dates and a weekend is open, then luck is with you and I have opened the calendar as I'm working on site. If this is the case, single night stays can be booked.

Looking for a peaceful and secluded spot to park up whilst exploring the Yarra Valley winery region, the Dandenong Ranges, or some of Melbourne's close regional towns like Healesville, Yarra Glen and Warburton?
We have opened up a beautiful flat expanse at the rear of our five acre property and made it available to self contained campers and caravaners. We are travelers ourselves and often find it difficult to find peaceful yet secure spots that allow us to explore capital cities and the lovely areas around them.
Most cities tend to have caravan parks in the outer suburbs and these can often resemble concrete jungles and be very busy leaving you feel like you have to pay a top premium to be cramped into a space. But what options do you have if you want to explore a vibrant city like Melbourne. See a show, do some shopping, eat out at some of the World's greatest restaurants. Yes, we all should splurge every now and then even when on the road.
Our property lies at the very start of the Yarra Valley. It is surrounded on three sides by the magnificent Helens Hill vineyard. In the Summer months you can watch the fruit come onto the vines and in the Winter the views open up to see the kangaroos bouncing though the rows and often silhouetted against the skyline sunsets.
We are less than 5 minutes to Lilydale town center. Supermarkets, restaurants, service centers, parts stores, hardware are all on the doorstep, yet looking out over the vines you wouldn't know.
Lilydale is 38 kms from Melbourne CBD and there is a train station with ample day parking making it super easy to explore the heart of Melbourne and return 'home' to your country retreat for the night. Myki cards available on site FOC.
There is a dump point only 3kms away at a local caravan park for those that need it and at our property water can be available to fill your tanks if needed for a small donation. There is no water or power connection on the sites but you can release your grey water to nourish the grass. Lilydale has a large laundromat available to you.
We have a beautiful covered eating area with BBQ available so if the weather turns inclement you can still eat out yet under cover.
All campers must be 100% self contained. These are remote sites with no connections and there are no toilet facilities available.
We have restricted our area to a maximum of 6 sites to ensure that everyone has their space. Sites are not marked and locations will be on a first booked basis. Owners will direct you to your areas. The area is beautifully flat and does absorb water well but care must be taken to not tear it up after heavy rains. Please seek assistance from owners rather than tearing up the grass as a tractor is available.
We can cater for large sized vans and even large motorhomes. Tents are welcome. The property is pet friendly but not fully fenced so your furry friends would need to be on lead. We have our own dogs on the property.
Hipcamp being USA based describes the sites and vehicles in USA terms and lengths. There is no way to alter this but please be aware. We cater for Aussie sized caravans and 4wd vehicles. 14 or 15m long all up, no problem. Just in a 4x4 with roof top tent and awning, we have you covered. Cruising the country in a Commodore with a pop top, all good here.
Please be aware that we do share a boundary with a working vineyard and they do occasionally have a tractor or crew out in the vines doing some work. There can be a bit of farm machinery work every now and then but this is beyond our control and generally very minimal as vines dont take much looking after unless its harvest night.

Welcome to Casa Cucina or the River House, a whimsical, quiet space to chill and enjoy the unique environment, calm and beauty.
PLEASE NOTE UP FRONT, Our page says 1 site, this site can hold 4 caravans, tents or trailers at any one time, in one group. Each Van/ tent allows for 2 adults and 2 children under 16. Extra adults (16 and over) are charged at $20 per night per site.
We are 1 hour East of Melbourne along the M1, (and a couple of kms off the M1). Situated in West Gippsland. Casa Cucina is a feast for the senses and very close by you can enjoy the alpine majesty of the Baw Baw Plateau, the Bunyip State Forest, the (mostly) lush green valleys, to the rivers and streams… there is always something to do in West Gippsland for the curious. Other attractions in the area are Gumbuya World, Nangara Reserve, Noojee and Neerim South, PLUS of course the wineries.
The Tarago River backs onto our small yet spacious, open yet shaded space. The river is shallow for paddling, not really ‘swimmable’, a lovely spot to cool off on our warm summer days, or a mesmerising place to sit, watch, read, contemplate, draw or write. Some large old Mountain Ash remain along the river bank, with lots of new plantings. It is not uncommon to see an echidna, a variety of stunning birdlife, and on dusk, maybe a wombat family and folks, we also host a family of platypus if you are very quiet - mainly seen at dawn or dusk.
Our space can accommodate up to 4 caravans, tents or trailers (under 10 metres) in one group (one booking). In addition, the upper adjoining block can accommodate 2 caravans (enquire for this option). This is a single group occupancy site so you can enjoy the privacy of your own group.
If you wish to hook into our powered site, please add $10 per night, per van. All campers will also have access to our Casa Cucina gorgeous eclectic, quirky community space to sit in out of the weather. Please note: This is not an accommodation space.
As a reminder, all campers will need to be Self Contained as we have no toilet facilities, no access to fresh water, cold showers only and no cooking facilities.
Also remember if you wish to have a fire (not during fire season however) in our fire pit, you MUST bring your own wood.

We had such a lovely weekend stay. The campsite was peaceful and waking up to the sounds of nature and having plenty of space to unwind made it the perfect little escape. The host was friendly and responsive, which made everything easy. Would happily come back.

Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by the free range feathered family who will come up for a sticky beak. Finding your campsite just the gravel area at the front of the property makes for an easy set-up. Having Grandma Anne there to give a hand if needed or a spotlight if it starts to get dark during setup was a blessing. A welcome camp kitchen has a place to shelter if the weather turns on you. Make sure you head down to help feed the animals, and meet Bonnie in the paddock. You won’t need an alarm clock, the Rooster’s will sound the morning before the sun comes up. Make sure you have plenty of mozzie repellent, as they can ruin a weekend if you’re not prepared. We were very thankful to meet the baby Turkeys when Kate brought them for a visit and I can’t forget Leo the Goat!
We were very fortunate that the weather held out the entire weekend. Having a campfire each night made for some incredible star gazing. Thank you Kate, for being a wonderful host.

Granite Views is such a beautiful secluded spot that I thoroughly enjoyed staying at. I definitely want to bring my family here with me next time. Jess was such a big help with all my unusual requests and I can't thank her enough for her hospitality!

What an absolutely beautiful spot! My husband & I walked around for a good 5 minutes not believing our eyes.
The sound of the river running, and the little house that lives up to its name ‘Quirky’ was amazing. We saw eels, possums, a wombat, cows & alpacas.
We enjoyed the cold river water shower, and the fire place that had plenty of room for the dutch oven.
Things to note, there was abit of traffic noise & lots of wasps, didnt bother us but good to know.
Also beware of the friendly possum in the house that comes out to say hello at night time!

Such a beautiful stay at Old Dairy at the Grange in Buln Buln. The space was spotless, comfortable. The kids absolutely loved being able to feed and see the animals, it made the whole experience feel really special and memorable for them. We’d definitely come back again

This was our second visit to Grace's Land, and it absolutely lived up to every wonderful memory we had from our first time. We brought along 10 friends to celebrate my partner's birthday, and we genuinely could not have asked for a better setting to make it special.
The facilities made everything so easy and comfortable — ample bathrooms meant no morning queues, the massive BBQ was perfect for group cooking, the fridge kept everything fresh, and there were plenty of tables and chairs for everyone to spread out and relax. Having fireplace options was the cherry on top for those cosy evening wind-downs.
We had the best time cooking big meals together, gathering around the fire for long chats, playing with adorable Spot the dog, and taking a moment to pat the horses.
The only downside? We had to leave! We were already talking about our next trip on the drive home. If you're looking for a spot that handles a big group with ease while still feeling warm and personal, look no further. We'll absolutely be back — we just wish we could have stayed longer!

I stopped here with my dog for the night. A tidy spot with a great view and a fireplace. The area was fenced off. Best for self contained campers as there is no toilet. There was a little bit of noise from the cars on the road, but this dropped off in the night. Thanks for the stay.

Such an awesome stay, thanks Sharelle (and the boys) for hosting Amy and I. Great communication prior and during our stay, great local tips and never felt interrupted. Best HipCamp we have stayed at. Extremely private site, the other couple were out of sight as was the main house so felt like we were alone. Facilities were fantastic, hot shower when camping is such a luxury. Feeding the animals was a definite highlight. Looking forward to returning asap!

The campsites are quite close together and right next to the road. The sites are slightly bigger than what you would get at a caravan park. I believe the photos make the sites look bigger than what they are.
The camp kitchen was super handy to heat up dinner in the microwave and the toilet was clean even though it was a portaloo.
Anne and Logan were super friendly and welcoming. Logan was great at taking us around to feed the animals.
Overall it was a great stay, just a little different to what we were expecting.

Lots of sweet animals to see and a lovely family! Great for a quick weekend away, has everything you need with an outdoor kitchen, toilet, water and firewood available. Good spot if you don’t mind being nearby to other campers 😊.

We had a fantastic stay at Strath Creek Station! The host Kim and Glen was incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond, Glen checking in on us twice to make sure we had everything we needed. They even lent us a hammer and helped us set up our tent, which was a huge help. The campsite itself is massive, very quiet, and offers plenty of privacy. Plus, being able to see the horses from the site was a wonderful bonus. Highly recommended for a peaceful getaway!

Absolutely incredible stay at Yarra Valley Vineyard Views Campground on Hipcamp — this place is something special.
You’re literally surrounded on two sides by endless rows of grapevines from Helen’s Hill Winery just around the corner. Some sites have sweeping vineyard views that feel straight out of a postcard, while others tuck you into your own private dam oasis with the vines as your backdrop. There are different levels and layouts to suit everything from big rigs to smaller setups, and each one feels thoughtfully positioned.
The host, Robert, really makes the experience. He’s one of those genuinely interesting, kind people who clearly takes pride in what he’s built. Retired, hands-on, always tinkering — and he truly enjoys having guests there, which shows in every detail.
If you’re looking for a peaceful, scenic stay in the Yarra Valley with a bit of character and charm, this is hard to beat.

A really wonderful place for people looking for a quiet and peaceful time away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Michael was a great host and we all loved the surrounding, especially in the early morning with the cold air and fog covering the entire area.

Where to go
Healesville
A main Yarra Valley town, Healesville is a hub of food and drink (largely wine!) and a handy base for campers who want to enjoy the restaurants or prepare their own gourmet meals around the campfire. The town is equipped with holiday parks with good facilities and different camping options to suit various budgets. Healesville is a short distance from the Maroondah Reservoir, where there are picnic spots and scenic walks.
Yarra Ranges National Park
The forested Yarra Ranges National Park spreads out around the Yarra Valley towns of Marysville, Healesville, and Warburton. The trees and vegetation here are especially impressive, and are a lovely environment for short walks and hikes. There are campsites throughout this national park but some of these have undergone repairs after storms; if they’re unavailable, there are nearby campsites and holiday parks elsewhere in the Yarra Valley, including Healesville and at other national and regional parks.
Kinglake National Park
A popular spot among hikers, mountain bikers, and campers, the Kinglake National Park is on the slopes of the Great Dividing Range and is easily accessible from the Yarra Valley. Keen and casual bird watchers alike will also enjoy looking out for the colourful bird life in this park, and the tall Masons Falls are especially impressive after rain. The small campsite within the park has space for tents, caravans, and camper vans, and is surrounded by shady eucalyptus trees.
Dandenong Ranges National Park
The Dandenong Ranges are often referred to at the same time as the Yarra Valley, as many day or overnight trippers from Melbourne visit both areas. The cool rainforested mountains are dotted with waterfalls, making this an ideal destination for hiking and picnicking, as well as camping. Campers can find everything from basic tent sites to luxurious cabins in the Dandenong Ranges, and it’s all very accessible from Melbourne.
