Castella River Farm is an 8 acre property with many natural features including Mountain Ash trees and bushland near the camp sites. The Yea river runs behind the property and camping areas. Locally we are close to all the Yarra Valley and Kinglake Ranges have to offer from wineries to the National Parks for hiking. We are 10 minutes from Kinglake township and 15 mins to Yarra Glen, which means a quick trip if you need supplies. The highway is close by which makes it handy to get out and about. Wildlife we have seen on the property includes Wallabies, Echidna, and an abundance of bird life. Laugh with the Kookaburras at sunset. Dogs are welcome however due to wildlife and the bush location, we ask that you please keep them on a lead at all times. If you are planning on bringing a dog with you, please let us know in advance. We also have horses (separate from the campsite) that campers can feed a carrot if they wish! Water is available from our stables water tank. It is Tank water so not crystal clear but think of it as euculyptus tea! NB: **We do have neighbours and the highway near by so there will be some noise . Would suit campers who want to kick the footy, wade in the river and maybe go 4wding or out and about fishing. Ok to play your own music near the camp fire as you are far enough away down the back paddock! **Not suited to those wanting to be in the middle of nowhere

River Camp
Very relaxing and private.
We had a very relaxing 3 night Easter break at Castella River Farm. Our site by the lovely little river was spotless, with a great fire pit and was totally private from the other campers. There was plenty of shade, but still let in enough sun to charge the solar blanket. Loved the friendly horses and the 2 doggies who were kept on their own property. I was amazed at how bright the stars were at night - they were really beautiful. Carly & Justin are friendly and very down to earth and very easy to talk to. Carly's communication and directions were great. Cannot wait to visit them again. Thank you. 🐣

Mountain Ash Camp
Nice open camp with plenty of space. Couple of gates are tight for towing a 22ft van through but driving slowly and using the right vehicle positioning are very manageable. Great proximity to the Yarra Region Wine country which made this site perfect for us.
