The campsite has a peaceful and spacious atmosphere, offering plenty of privacy and well-maintained grounds. Campers appreciate the complimentary firewood, although some mention it can be wet after rain. The presence of Highland cows and other wildlife adds to the charm, making it a memorable spot for many. While the basic toilet facilities are praised for cleanliness, a few suggest they could be cleaner.

Beautiful property, we loved our stay. The donkey was hilarious. The wood provided for the fire was a real bonus. Would stay again!

The Hipcamp map shows the entrance to the campsite in the wrong location ( right next to the main house instead of down the road) which caused abit of confusion but nothing major, the site was great, easy access and pretty level with a great fire pit and bonus supplied fire wood, I didn’t expect the different sites to be so close together, but luckily we had decent neighbours. Up the hill are paddocks with cows, horses and a crazy donkey, while during the day it was entertaining to watch him being chased by the horses and screaming like a banshee but it wasn’t so entertaining the few times in the middle of the night, along with the roosters at 3am. Toilets were clean and looked after well,

I had a beautiful, peaceful stay at Ellimatta at the Stonor site. I was lucky enough to have the place to myself for four out of the five nights, and my fellow campers on the one night were far enough away that I couldn't hear them 🙂 The atmosphere, toilets, firewood and fire pits were all amazing. Some sites were a little closer together than I was expecting, not much between you and your neighbours for Stonor, Heyfield and Gembook. The grass was also a little long, but not unexpected at this time of year after rain 🙂. Definitely recommend for quiet times of the year or if you've got several families and are looking for multiple sites. As others have mentioned it is a 10-minute drive on a fairly rough dirt track, make sure you go nice and slow!

I love the grass is well maintained and the free firewood although it’s wet due to raining this couple of days. But happy!

Stonor
100% would stay here again! After 7 weeks on the road, this was our last stop before going home and it was exactly what we were searching for! Super peaceful and we loved it. Our 2wd and NOT off road van handled the drive in well enough, though there were a number of potholes and some deep rivets we were able to easily navigate those and got in / out easily. The ground fire pits were huge but unfortunately the communal wood was mainly wet and rotting, but that's to be expected in winter! We probably would have taken wood in with us if we realised that it was wet, would be great if the owner offered loads of dry wood for an extra fee. Our main reason for booking was my obsession with Highland cows and the bulls were in the paddock next to the camping area so it was great being able to see them. We stayed in Heyfield site which was super close to the toilet and wood pile.
So glad that properties like this are offered up for camping, we left very happy campers indeed.
We loved camping here in our van at the Gembook site! Each site is spaced out well, so it truly feels like you're there all by yourself. We woke to the creek flowing and the birds and frogs singing - just magical!
Thanks for having us, Lisa! We will definitely be back on our way through again
Great spot, highly recommend. Green, quiet and peaceful.

Excellent spot! Sites were huge, plenty of free firewood. Toilet facilities simple but clean. Loved seeing the highland cows even if it was only for a short time. The sound of the donkey was hilarious. Absolutely loved our 3 night stay. Didn’t want to leave.

Clean and peaceful. The toilet, firewood and fire pit was an added bonus. We didn’t see any Highland cows but we also didn’t go looking. Would definitely recommend this site.

Mill site 1
Loved my short stay at Mill Site 1. Felt very private and was away from other campers and close to the toilet. Even though it was close to the road it didn’t feel it. Beautiful sun filtering through the trees late afternoon and peaceful waking up to the kookaburras in the morning.
The site was in a great location, nice scenery. Amenities like toliet’s and supplied firewood was fantastic. We loved our long weekend at Sunbury!

Sunbury
Elimatta was great! We stayed in the Sunbury site which was almost like being on our own. Toilet a short walk up the hill, the cows are adorable as were the odd kangaroo and the neighbouring camel! Much enjoyed Easter break, short drive to nearby Millawa and Wangaratta

Heyfield
Our second trip to Ellimatta, spent 4 awesome days exploring the camp and wineries in the region. Plenty of fire wood and toilets were cleaned twice daily and spotless. Animals for the kids to see and easy access to our site. See you guys next year.
Such a great place to camp, the sites are huge with great views and the Free Fire Wood is the best. close to wineries, breweries and great food but far enough away to be peaceful and quite.
This is the second time we have camped here and we are already planning a third.
Happy a beautiful night next to the fire. We stopped in for the night on our way back from QLD with our two dogs. The view of the starts was something else was so magical. Woke up to a beautiful sunny day and a visit from the cows 🥰
Once again, it was a perfect stay. Amazing space and a great place to relax or see the local sights, wineries and food.

Our stay was magical.
The campisites are generous. Lots of space to spread without being too close to neighbours.
A good base to explore the high country without big crowds.

Great campsite with an excellent host. Highly recommend. There was a minor issue with previous campers overstaying their booking but Lisa dealt with it swiftly and professionally which was appreciated.

Mill site 1
Great little site. Toilets were clean and close and there was always plenty of fire wood. The cows were super cute but there was a dinket nearby that made some pretty insane noises. Site is open to 8 people but theres not massive amounts of flat ground if you have more than 1 caravan

Fantastic stay for the second time here. Really relaxing spot and awesome gravel rides straight from the campground!
An absolutely beautiful property, with peaceful & tranquil surrounds. Great access for our 23 foot caravan (staying on Mill Site 1), very convenient toilet located nearby and very easy to go for a lovely bushwalk from the property. So many options a short drive away also. We'll definitely be back!
Very nice camping spot, plenty of choice on where to set up the swag and plenty of room for a big group. Would come back and recommend to anybody.
We loved camping at Lisa's land Gembrook site at Ellimata. Clean camping ground, quiet surroundings, clean toilet facilities, flat ground for tents. Will love to return! Loved the visits of cows, kangaroos, rabbits
Mill Site 2 was really peaceful and tranquil. The kangaroos and birds, distant rooster and the delightful Highland cows made our stay special.
We came in from Whitfield so different directions to the app. Road was a bit rough for our motorhome but we managed.
There is a rustic toilet at each camp site - cassette toilet and generously supplied with toilet paper - we were self contained so didn't use the one on our site. (Prob could have been a bit cleaner).
The campers at Mill Site 1 were close by. There was another lot of campers at the lower campsite. It's a fairly open area but everyone was respectful.
I think we had the best spot 😊
There was no communication from the hosts.
We would love to come back midweek and hope to be the only ones here. Imagine the tranquility and freedom of space - we loved our stay.
Thankyou for setting this up so well.
A great camp site and well looked after. Appreciated the grass and firewood. We stayed at the Sunbury site and had a lovely time.
It's quiet enough even when the other sites were full. It is close to the road leading in to the area though so not completely private.
The toilets were appreciated but needed a better clean. It didn't look like it was recently cleaned.
Overall, a lovely experience. Directions were also very easy to follow.
An exception campsite with plenty of private space and area to setup. The campsite is very well maintained and the complimentary firewood is a huge plus. The toilets were also maintained daily and were relatively clean.
The only con is that I messaged the host on Hipcamp several times with questions which were never responded to.
