Beautiful Bushland Camp!
We loved our stay! Such a naturally stunning bit of bushland up in Gembrook with all the necessary amenities you could want (flushable toilets, hot showers, drinking water, firepits and plenty of firewood). We were lucky to see lots of bird life and had some gorgeous, clear starry nights 🤩 Its super close to the town of Gembrook so it's easy enough to restock food/ice etc if you were staying for a longer period, the only downfall being noise from the main road (cars and motorbikes), but tbh it was a relatively rare disruption to the peace. Thanks for having us!!

Bush Campsite
We booked last minute and camped at the bottom of get hill at C01, close to toilet/showers. Great facilities and heaps of space. We were the only ones there all weekend (during April school holidays) that weren’t with a scout group. It’s 460 acres of bush with loads of hikes and activities for kids including an approx 2km ‘ninja warrior’ style challenge that was a great way to take the legs out of the kids at the end of the day. They only just started advertising this on Hipcamp, expect it will fill up as people find out about it. Theres creeks and streams, a small lake to swim in, friendly staff, bouldering, giant see-saws, tightrope walking, bike tracks, etc etc, I could go on all day. Recommend 👌
