A hidden gem in the Strathbogie Ranges, Glenmaye Farm is a peaceful 700-acre regenerative cattle property where guests come to slow down, reconnect with nature and enjoy the simple pleasures of country life. Our spacious campsites are spread throughout the property, giving you plenty of room to relax and enjoy the peace and privacy that many campgrounds simply can't offer. Whether you're camped beside the creek, tucked amongst the trees or enjoying sweeping views across the valley, you'll feel a world away from the everyday. Explore over 500 acres of bushland, wander along Faithfulls Creek, discover natural swimming holes and take the walk to thebeautiful Marraweeny Falls. Hike the granite hills for spectacular views, watch kangaroos and wallabies grazing at dusk, and enjoy campfires beneath brilliant star-filled skies. Glenmaye is a place for families, couples, adventurers and anyone looking to escape the noise and crowds. With abundant wildlife, stunning scenery and plenty of space to explore, many guests describe it as feeling more like a private nature reserve than a campground. Just two hours from Melbourne and only minutes from Euroa and Violet Town, Glenmaye is the perfect place to switch off, explore and create lasting memories. Come and discover why so many guests return to Glenmaye.

Backcountry Hike-In Experience

100%
(7)
Tent site · Sleeps 4
Backcountry Hike-In Camping Step beyond the easy-access camps and into the raw, untouched side of the property. This is a true hike-in camping experience across approximately 500 acres of rugged “back paddock” — a mix of rocky outcrops, bushland, waterways and remote forest with no guest vehicle access. Park at the homestead, shoulder your gear, and head out on foot to find your own private campsite within the property boundaries. There are no marked sites — just space, solitude, and the kind of quiet you don’t get in a campground. This option is ideal if you: Want a genuine off-grid experience without the crowds Are training for multi-day hikes or expeditions Enjoy self-sufficient, low-impact camping Don’t mind carrying everything in and out Important: Hike-in access only — guest vehicles remain at the homestead You must bring all your own gear, water and supplies Leave no trace — pack everything out The terrain is rugged and includes some long, steep sections, so come prepared 🚜 Optional ATV Transfer Not keen on carrying all your gear over the steep sections? We can transport you and your gear into the backcountry by ATV. $40 one way | $70 return The return option includes your trip in on arrival and collection at an agreed time on departure. Add the Backcountry ATV Transfer Extra to your booking. ATV transfers must be arranged in advance and are subject to track and weather conditions. If you’re after convenience, this probably isn’t for you. If you’re after space, challenge and a proper bush experience — this is it.

    Tent camped at Sleepy Hollow. with friends, Oct 2026.

    Beautiful spot lovely host, was a little hard to find where to even begin to find the waterfall as there wasn't much pointing to it but after climbing over a few rocks it was really nice. I'm sure the host would've helped had i asked but the adventure of seeking it out made it even better
