If you're looking for a quiet, private nights stay in your motorhome, caravan, tent or swag, then look no further. A private property of 30 acres, surrounded by the bushland of the Lockwood State Forest. Tucked away in a very quiet tranqil location, you will have nothing but privacy and piece and quiet. The perfect time of year to enjoy camp fires and the great outdoors. A Place We Call Home offers you the perfect night's stay to relax and unwind before your journey continues. Our property is the perfect place to enjoy gold detecting, bush walking, bird watching, bike riding or just some well-earned rest. The property has direct access to the State Forest with multiple walking/bike riding options and gold-detecting opportunities. There are also kayaks on the dam for our guests to enjoy. Only 15 mins from Bendigo and local wineries, and 1.5 hours from Melbourne. All guests must be completely self-sufficient including toilet, water, and power. The Bendigo region offers many attractions including the Sandhurt Goal Tour, Golden Dragon Museum, Central Deborah Goldmine , the Bendigo Pottery and of course the Vintage Tram Tour that show cases the best of this beautiful city. From March 16- July 14, 2024, exclusive to Bendigo Art Gallery, Paris: Impressions of Life. There are over 20 vineyards and wineries in the region, including Balgownie Estate, Black Wallaby Wines, Blackjack Wines and Connor Park Winery with most wineries run by the families who founded them. There are plenty of opportunities for prospecting in the area, the region has been famous for gold for over 150 years. Visit the Coitek Gold Centre in Maryborough for special maps suggesting areas most likely to produce nuggets, or book a tour while your there to learn the art of detecting with an expert. We hope to see you soon.

Nice quiet place.
Melissa is friendly and inviting. The property is far enough from the main road that you have peace and quite. Plenty of space and site 1 (which is what we had) is the best site if you want privacy from other campers. No grass so if that matters to you then this is worth knowing. Lots of Kangaroos to be seen close by and lots of animal droppings so bring a rake if you need to lay a ground mat. Bins are a bonus that's for sure.

Long weekend escape
We had an awesome long weekend here with the kids. We had a very nice spot next to the dam. We were also theonly booking. Good close proximity to Bendigo. It was a very hot couple of days although the afternoon/evening bought a cool breeze that was a welcome break from the heat. Awesome spot for stargazing. The Kids loved having races on the kayaks around the dam. Can't wait to see the many trees that have been planted grow to their full size. Would recommend.
