4WD Recommended - dirt/gravel road and two creek crossings (through the creek bed) to get here.
We have a whole beautiful valley with crystal clear spring-fed creeks, patches of rain forest and hillsides covered in grass-trees backing onto Wrattens State Forest. There's 1,375 acres of land - the boundaries of our property are the ridges of the mountains that encircle us, and many rare species abound here.
This is a dog and horse friendly property but no pets allowed in the cabin. There is paralysis tick in this region - so we'd recommend treating any animal before you come and frequent checks while you're here.
No mobile phone coverage at the cabin, but there is a hill you can drive (or walk) up on the property to get phone signal if needed and we have a landline phone in our house which can be used in emergencies.

Right on the creek and closest to the swimming hole. The swimming hole is a shared space that all campers can use. It is about mid-thigh deep - great for kids but not big enough for adult swimming. There is a flat area under the trees and gently sloping area out in the open for those looking for some sunshine. Easy access, close to the driveway.
Suitable for a single family or small group.

You have 2 options for this campsite, on either side of the creek.
One is easy access and suitable for a caravan on the flat next to the creek, just 10m off our driveway.
The other is 4WD access only as you have to cross through the creek, where it is a bit muddy, slushy and rocky, to get there, and traverse up a rough track. Beautiful open area off the beaten track with large logs for the children to run along and right next to the creek.
Suitable for a single family, or invite a group of friends with their 4WD's. A group with mixed vehicles could camp either side. The whole area is yours, whether your group is large or small.

Cabin · Sleeps 6 · 1 bedroom · 2 beds · 1 toilet
This solid timber cabin is beautifully situated on a tree covered hill in the center of Hope Valley. There's also a lovely big firepit for outdoor cooking. Guests will enjoy the hilltop to themselves but our house is on one side of the hill so close enough if they want to help feed the farm animals or need assistance with anything. The cabin has solar power, tank water, and gas cooking and hot water.

Cosy new timber cabin set in beautiful bushland. The perfect get-away. Digital detox with no phone or internet so you can escape the pressures of life and have a chance to truly relax. Swing gently in the hammock basking in the beauty of creation, serenaded by wild birds. Explore the grass tree covered hillside or walk down the hill to cool down in our dam.
Hope Valley offers a tranquil escape into nature, where privacy and peace are paramount. The campsites are described as secluded and surrounded by natural beauty, with an abundance of wildlife such as birds, wallabies, and even friendly cows. Many campers appreciate the clear directions and warm hospitality from the host, Anita, making the experience welcoming and easy to navigate. While most reviews are positive, there is a mention of noise from other campers playing loud music, which can disrupt the serene atmosphere in such a quiet location.
The spot felt so private and secluded, and everything you could need was available in the kitchen. We were thoroughly impressed with the composting toilet, now feeling inspired for ourselves in the future.
Lovely bushland escape. Directions we're clear, landholder is friendly and helpful, and the property is beautiful. Would recommend, we'll be back!
Side note, people who blast music late into the night while camping (especially in a VALLEY), and use a chainsaw for firewood, are idiots...
We loved camping at Hope Valley. Anita's directions were perfect and accurate. The campsite was beautifully maintained, large and easily accessible by 4wd. The wood purchased on site was plentiful and burned clean.
Lot's of birdlife and spectacular night sky, star views. A lovely and quiet area. Well be back again.
Firstly we loved staying here!
What stood out the most?
Well you definitely need a four wheel drive to get to the cabin!
Once there you’re greeted by a welcoming cabin, trees, quiet and later, if you’re lucky, by the friendly horses.
Hope Valley was great. It's quiet and peaceful. Nice campsite. It felt very private. Great directions from host. Anita was friendly and lovely. 4WD is probably needed. AWD may get in but ground clearance is an issue in a few spots. Highly recommended.
Hope Valley is such a beautiful location. We love coming back here as often as possible to enjoy the serendipity of Anita's amazing property. She is always very friendly and welcoming 😁
We absolutely love this place… honestly the only downside is we don’t want to tell anyone about it, just so it’s still available next time we want to come back.
Lovely long weekend stay. Great spot! Private. Lots of trees. Visiting horses. Big fire pit. Very useful covered seating area! You do have to have the ability to walk back up the steep hill if you want to go down to the creek. Or drive. Definitely need a 4x4. The creek is small but lovely. One tip…. Don’t leave food out on benches or on the floor of the cabin or you will find little nibbles. No great bother though.. Thanks for sharing your property!! Vey nice.
Spent a perfect 3 days at the tall gums campsite in Hope valley. We had great fun exploring the creek and the lookout. The campsite itself is large with a flat area for caravans, rtt's or tents/swags, nestled along a rocky creek. The host Anita was friendly and helpful and met us at the campsite with tips on where to put our van.
Lovely spot! Would 100% recommend. Quiet and peaceful with nobody else in sight. Providing logs for firewood was a nice touch. Would definitely come back.
Friendly and welcoming owner. Lovely peaceful spot with no Internet and no one near by. Billabong was clear and swimmable although shallow. Friendly horses would stop by for a pat. It’s a long way from town on a windy, corrugated dirt road so be sure to pack everything you need. Definitely recommend 4wd car and 4wd van. Prob best for tent, camper. Plenty of fire wood laying around. Great spot to do nothing, sit around a fire and relax.
Beautiful and quiet. Very private sites. The land is lovely bush land and cleared for tents or campers. Have been coming to this property for about 5 years now and love it.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The proximity of the horses to the cabin was a unique highlight, and the outdoor bathing facility provided a truly relaxing experience. We extend our gratitude to Anita for her hospitality.
