Located in Victoria’s goldfields, 2 hrs NW of Melbourne, Amherst Farm Camp Site is secluded, quiet, off grid and private. There is only one large camping area on the 20 acre property that can be enjoyed by up to 5 people per group and up to 5 groups at any time. The fee applies to each vehicle/group. The site is surrounded by farmland and has great views of Lillicur State Forest to the south. There is plenty to see and do in the region. You can visit historic gold towns, bike the Ballarat–Skipton Rail Trail, walk through state and national parks or visit pubs, restaurants, wineries and galleries. The old gold town of Talbot is an easy 7km bike ride from the Camp Site. On weekends you can dine at the Talbot Pub or Fossickers Café. You can even try your luck at gold prospecting and hire a metal detector on site. Alternatively you can simply relax and enjoy the tranquillity and abundant wildlife.There’s only one camp site so your privacy is assured. The site is spacious and provides great views of Lillicur State Forest to the south. There a fire site with steel drums and free kindling supplied. Limited water is supplied in a tank and there is a composting toilet. Amherst farm is centrally located in the Goldfields so it’s a great base to set up and take off for the day.
