Located within 50 acres of bushland, just out of Hepburn Springs and Daylesford. Serenity. Experience the beautiful Australian bush, fantastic night skies and the amazing colours of the sun rising and setting. You also have the opportunity to observe local wildlife; kangaroos, kookaburras and possibly echidnas. There are many wineries, bushwalks, town markets to explore and this is well suited to mountain biking due to the proximity of the Goldfields track. Please check the CFA website with regards to fire restrictions: https://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/warnings-restrictions/fire-bans-ratings-and-restrictions. This property is located in 'Central' district. The Fire Danger Period is from 25 Nov '24 to 1 May '25. Campfires are allowed during this period only under certain conditions - please check or ask.The Ridge is a beautiful open campsite with views of the dam and further afield. Sit back and enjoy the sounds of the Australian bush, located on part of the Goldfields Track. Campfires permitted in designated camp firepit, (subject to official CFA fire restrictions. Please refer to the CFA website - Hepburn Shire -for clarity on restrictions. We are currently in a declared Fire Danger Period until 1/5/25. This means anytime winds are over 10kmph a campfire cannot be lit). Firewood available for when fires are permitted, (do not cut down any trees, there’s plenty of wood stacked or to collect from the ground). We are located 10 minutes from Daylesford & Glenlyon, Kyneton (30mins), Castlemaine, (20 mins) Newstead (20 mins). Lots of wineries nearby. The property is 50 acres, mainly bushland. We do live on the property. As you drive in you can see the house, however you cannot see it from the camp site, and vice-versa. There is a public road that goes past the camp site, about 60mt to one side, it is actually part of the Goldfields Track. You can see our dam from the camp site, which you can walk to. There’s a log there for sitting on if you like. Lots of birds and birds' song. Dogs are permitted, off leash if under your control, as there may be horses and people using the road nearby. Please clean up after your dog as required. You will need to be fully self-contained, there are no facilities such as water, toilet, bins etc. please take with you what you bring. The site can cope with 2 vans (or equivalent tents).

The Ridge
Great communication from Wendy who met us on arrival. We were pleasantly surprised by the camp site. Nice and quiet with the only sounds being birds chirping and the breeze in the trees. We lit a nice fire with plenty of wood supplied. Will definitely return again but for a longer stay.

The Ridge
Very private site with bush views. Great place to sit by the fire and view the full moon rising. Short drive to Daylesford.

The Ridge
Lovely property, lots of wildlife around and super quiet. We drove in and saw kangaroos where the campsite and a pair of Scarlet Robins in the morning. 10 mins to Daylesford, 7 mins to the hot springs and 2 mins to chocolate mill. Wendy replies super quick and is great to deal with. We will be back here again!

The Ridge
Had a great stay with our 2 dogs! Secluded and private, we had a good time exploring the surrounds of the campsite and our dogs also got to have a little dip to cool off. Will definitely be back again!
