Clear Springs is a very special spot, offering sweeping views over rolling hills, and across to the ocean. King Island lighthouse is visible on clear nights, and there are koalas and wallabies in abundance. Whilst we require you to BYO toilet, we do have hot shower, woodfired hot-tub, power, water and phone reception. The site is all-weather access, and is just a 7-minutes drive to the Apollo Bay township. Once you catch your breath after initially taking in the sweeping, majestic ocean views, you can find a spot to pitch your tent or park your van. You drive in through a locked farm gate into the fenced camp area. There is not an abundance of flat area, so may not suit if you need large level space. We don't accept multiple bookings, so the space is all yours. You can choose from a few different spots with near-level ground (choose grass or gravel). The site is open to the amazing ocean views to the south yet the area is nestled among mature trees to give privacy and shelter. There are very few houses dotted around the area and not a single busy road within earshot. There is 240v mains power (BYO lead and plug into switchboard). And a tank with spring water (natural and untreated, we've been drinking it for years) and a pressure pump (BYO hoses as needed). There is an outdoor gas-heated shower. We also have a woodfired hot tub available for guests, BYO firewood. Our listing is intended for people looking for a private, tranquil and well-serviced camping area with several bonuses such as firewood, power, water, telstra reception, and a hot tub. And no other guests to worry about. It's much more than a patch of grass! But please BYO toilet - this is mandatory - and leave no trace to allow other people to enjoy the beauty of our property.

Note - if towing a medium-large caravan, it's essential you are comfortable manouvering in tight spaces. Also note the bitumen road has signs advising against caravans (presumably because turning around can require reversing into a driveway).

Private site with great ocean views
This was the most lovely place to stay. The ocean views were remarkable and the site was great. What made it really remarkable was the wood fired hot tub. We loved it!!!! Sunset and white wine while soaking in beautiful warm water watching the resident Koala do his thing was just a treat! Fiona was very responsive and helpful. We will certainly come back. Thank you!!!

Views for ever
Beautiful spot with amazing views! About 10min from Appollo Bay. Very handy to have both power and water on site, as well as a hot tub.

Stunning views
The views on this property are absolutely beautiful and very relaxing. We loved waking up to unobstructed views of the hills and ocean. Access to power and water was a bonus. We loved the woodfired tub and it was perfect for keeping super warm on a chilly night. We found mobile reception to be very patchy but didn't really mind because it forced us to stay unplugged! Navigating a van up a steep hill where at times there is only enough room for 1 car width wasn't fun amd did add an unexpected element of stress to the trip. There is very limited flat land (which we knew when we booked). We would definitely recommend to others however would be more suitable for swags/tent rather than a van when navigating the hill! Regardless, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Peaceful Retreat
Our family absolutely loved our stay at Fiona’s property. The views were incredible and it was such a beautiful spot to retreat to during such a busy time of year. With some careful manoeuvring, we were easily able to back our 21ft van into the site. The hot tub and hot shower were divine and the kids loved waking up to a koala sleeping above our heads. We’ll definitely be back!

Great Place - Great Views!
Great little place up the top of the hill. Spectacular views, and absolutely perfect for what we were looking for. Not far from Apollo Bay too!
