Nestled amongst the mountains just outside of the township of Whittlesea our 40-acre property sits above the clouds. This experience comes with sweeping views, a hidden waterfall, a clear campground, and plenty of wildlife. The camping area is accessible by 4WD only, otherwise, strap on a backpack and earn it! (800m walk/hike from where a non-4WD can park). The waterfall is reached by a single trail track from the campsite, and you do need to be an experienced hiker to get to the waterfall. Which is part of the appeal! We welcome self-contained campers, who bring their own toilet and take all waste with them. We have a strict Leave No Trace policy. Or choose to stay in our beautiful A-frame cabin, with plush bedding, cozy fire, and outdoor lounge. More than anything else this is a place to relax and be away from normal, live outside yourself, and rediscover what weekends are for.  Dogs are welcome, so long as they don't bother the wildlife. Campfires are allowed, BYO firewood or campers can collect fallen timber from the property.

Great time at Magic Mountain !
Great camping spot very isolated and quiet , View speaks for itself . Instructions easy to follow and access is fine for a 4WD. Work in progress but a great property with a lot going for it !

Very serene and dog friendly
Reading some of the negative reviews had me a little nervous about this one. However, we had a great experience. I suspect other guest were anticipating glamping conditions, which this is not. Although it is still a step above regular camping amenities! The A frame was clean and comfy, the pizza over and cooking pits worked a treat. We felt completely isolated and loved it. Our dogs had a blast and were safe the entire time. It was only two of us, although I'd definitely go back with a larger group and tents. I would just note that a regular sedan wouldn't get up the driveway (clearly mentioned in the add) so we were prepared for this and our AWD made it up no problems. Glad it was my husband driving and now me!

I loved the tent camping at this location with an awesome breathtaking view of the sunset. Had the whole place to ourselves. I would highly recommend.

Breathtaking view from the camp site. So close to town yet so isolated. Few areas around the site could improve with bit of tidy up, and toilet and water access wasn’t the most convenient but all forgivable with the views. Had a wonderful camping trip with the whole place to ourselves. Would love to come back.

Great View, but poorly maintained
Well honestly speaking, I loved the view of this place and its a nice place to camp. But, but as I reached the campsite I was absolutely disappointed with its maintenance and upkeep. Honestly, it's absolutely overrated and over priced than what it is in reality. Paying $60 per person per night is absolutely not worth visiting this place, I don't recommend people. I would rather visit multiple times to one of the most beautiful campsites I have been to lately which is at "Frank Farm", which offers so much for fellow campers at such an affordable price with just $55 dollars per night for 2 guests. I have been to more than 10-15 campsites from hipcamp, and I never experienced so badly maintained properly ever before, when it has so much potential to offer to campers. The entrance is very confusing as there's no clear instructions or notice board for visitors about the property. Further, the toilet was not even a toilet, just a portable toilet on a shed without a door, and wide open. Furthermore, this property has a Glamping site which is priced at $431 per night for 2 guests. Well, in terms of its maintenance, and facilities it is absolutely worthless to visit and spend money on. I highly recommend fellow campers not to spend so much money even by mistake. You might get intrigued by its views but please don't. I have always reviewed places with positive words, but I am sorry Patrick, your property doesn't meet expectations and doesn't match with its overrated price.
