The Whip Stick Forest campsite is located on the outskirts of Bendigo. This is an ideal place to take a break away from it all. Peace and tranquility surrounded by nature. We are just far enough away from the town to offer the outdoors feel and close enough to town to enjoy sightseeing, and many outdoor activities. Here you will find a nice open space amongst the gumtrees with drinking water, toilet (no shower), rubbish/recycling bins and access to wifi. Relax under the stars with a warm fire in a secluded spot in the middle of open space and the fresh air.  Only minutes from town where you will find supplies, close to the local swimming pool and 10 minutes from a popular watering hole. Enjoy all that Bendigo and surrounding areas have to offer, check out the historic gold mining attractions and come home to rest in a tranquil setting amongst the trees, the birds and the stars.  Bendigo itself features some fantastic heritage architecture and a creative community. Be sure to check out coffee houses down little laneways and the many culinary options of the restaurants in town.

Love it.
Great little pocket to stay in, super convenient. Dogs are gorgeous and owner is lovely. We camped at the furthest back corner which had great shade and we were woken by a beautiful view out the back of the property on sunrise.

Long weekend at Whipstick
We enjoyed our 3 night long weekend stay at site 3 Whip Stick. Site was private, and with the 37 degree temperature the afternoon shade was very welcome. Communication with Chrissy was easy and pretty quick. Having a flushing toilet was a bonus, a little walk away but clean private and better than a drop toilet or a caravan park. The shower was a bonus, clean and simple. The grass was green and the dogs were friendly but didn’t bother us when ignored. Thanks Chrissy

We loved staying here, we had access to power and could fill the tanks with water. It was close to town which was perfect for us and Chrissy was a fabulous host.

Nice set-up. Not for us.
Overall we had a positive experience. The hostess was very gracious, friendly. Flush toilet and hot shower a definite plus. So nice of Chrissy to provide a variety of outdoor games for the kids to play with. Must love dogs. There are 5 and are unavoidable.

Shower warm, however no place for clothing, and had there been other campers, the one cubicle would have required daily cleaning which was not apparent. The only toilet available is right outside the host's home, which sometimes felt uncomfortable, that one was intruding. Regarding Hipcamp's pricing structure when a change of booking was necessary due to unforeseen extreme weather conditions, left us gobsmacked! We were charged only $50 less than the original charge, so paid almost double! If we ever, ever decide to use Hipcamp again we will require a lot of detailed information up front!
