Amazing Views

Recent Hipcampers say there are great views at this Hipcamp.

Rolling hills of mountain pasture, backing on to the Yarra State Forest. Bushwalk along the little creek among tall trees and majestic tree ferns, or just sit in a deck chair and take in the exquisite views at the top of the hill. Multiple tracks head through the Yarra State Forest where you can wind your way along dirt roads through to Noojee, Powelltown, or Reefton, each of which have a cosy pub at the end of the drive. There are different campsite locations on the property, depending on if you would like isolation or convenience. We also offer excellent toilet and bathroom facilities which are now included with all bookings.

Multiple tracks head through the Yarra State Forest where you can wind your way along dirt roads through to Noojee, Powelltown, or Reefton, each of which have a cosy pub at the end of the drive. The donkey farm is situated conveniently, halfway between the popular redwood forest, and the giant Ada tree walk. Just chill in your own time, or book an activity or a donkey ride. Donkeys can take riders up to 70kg We do allow pets, but this MUST be discussed with us prior to booking as we have strict rules around this. We also allow campfires only when fire restrictions aren't in place - which is often all summer. Children under 3 are free, but for insurance purposes, please mention them in the comments. This property has an overall capacity to ensure that our number of visitors remain low. This not only ensures that campers recieve the space and peace they look for in a campsite like this, but also so that we can ensure the bathrooms can be kept clean and not overloaded. This is also a part of our COVID safe plan. Due to this overall capacity it is important that you book for the number of people that you intend to have stay, as while we try to accomodate increases to booking numbers, they are not guaranteed unless booked. If we have met overall capacity then we may not be able to approve increases to booking numbers. This is for the comfort and safety of all our visitors. Thank you If you intend to purchase firewood or power or donkey rides or anything from the Donkey Shop during your stay, please bring cash to pay, and payments must be made up front, unfortunately, too often guests have been leaving without having paid for their rides or firewood.

Dolly's Rest (4WD only)

I loved camping at Dolly’s Farm and was provided with beautiful surrounds. The animals were so enjoyable and despite not being able to camp at the usual location due to the weather.

Ruby's House

Great location and a lovely view. Actually stayed in the Rubys House site on advice from Linda who was a great host. Donkeys are very cute and Warburton is a super place to visit and enjoy.

Great value, perfect host

I really enjoyed spending a couple of rainy nights huddled in my tent at the Donkey Farm this weekend. As well as the donkeys, there are chickens and I think alpaca in the next field, plus a couple of super friendly and smart farm dogs. Linda is a great host, making sure that the sites and amenities were clean and tidy, access is easy. This is a great value-for-money Hipcamp (please take note other Hipcamp hosts) and I highly recommend it, especially for those with younger children who will enjoy being in nature with access to the animals.

Site 1 - Mountain View Oak Tree Campsites

Large site for my 19ft caravan, heaps of room to get in & manoeuvre the van to get the best views. Host was very accommodating & helpful. Ammenities were clean and in good condition. Electricity box for power connection needs a power leads of at least 35 meters in length. Will go back again & recommend to my friends.
