Set on a beautiful 600-acre working merino sheep and cropping farm, our property offers a peaceful, authentic farm camping experience. You’ll find wide open spaces, serene creek flats, rolling hills, and stunning views across the surrounding farmland — the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with nature. Our campsite is quiet, spacious, and ideal for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Wake up to the sounds of farm life, enjoy peaceful walks, or simply relax and take in the ever-changing scenery. Located centrally to some of the region’s best attractions, including Cairn Curran Reservoir for fishing and water activities, the historic gold-mining towns of Clunes and Maldon, and the charming village of Newstead, there’s plenty to explore nearby. Whether you’re after a weekend getaway or a longer stay, we invite you to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of our farm. Dogs are welcome but must be well behaved around sheep. Campers must provide their own toilets. A dump point is available at the Newstead Racecourse, just a 10-minute drive away.

When the creek is flowing, it’s a lovely place for a swim or to simply cool off on warm days. Campers must supply their own toilet.

Please note: Access is via farm tracks — suitable for most vehicles in dry conditions. 4WD vehicles are recommended after rain.

Stunning country and birdlife.

Emu Flat
We loved Emu Flat, quiet and peaceful with abundant birdlife. For how little rain there has been the creek was flush with flowing clear water. Access to the creek was excellent with a flat river-gravel beach. Also enough water for a kayak paddle. This is a magic spot managed by lovely people, Adam and Sarah are amazing Hosts. A highly recommended Hipcamp, this property will not disappoint. ... get on it!!

Sarah and Adam's site is a wonderful place to stay! The both of them are very helpful, hospitable and accommodative to ensure our stay was as best as it could be! I spoke to Sarah ahead of my booking to ask questions and get more information and she was very patient and helpful. The site itself is a serene open field with the nearby canola field as a distant natural backdrop! Would highly recommend staying here and will hope to be back again!

I will be back to try out the other sites on offer at Sheep Dip Hill. The care and communication from the Host's was exemplary, with rough weather on the horizon, Sarah messaged me saying there is another site with more shelter if I chose. I also had a couple of false starts, these were just taken in Sarah's stride. Very organised, capable and caring hosts are Sarah and Adam, their space I highly recommended as a camping destination. This pair are Salt of the Earth people.

They took us to a lesser used spot due to recent wet weather. Very private with great views of the reservoir and countryside. Joyces Creek is very central to the Goldfields and Spa districts with Maryborough, Daylesford and Castlemaine all within 30mins Enjoyed our stay immensely and our hosts very super friendly, accommodating and always quick to reply to enquiries. Our 2x small dogs also gave it their paw of approval. Cheers to Adam & Sarah

We loved camping at Emu flat! It was a perfect area for the camper trailers as the ground was flat. There so much space around us and there were no other campers in sight, just lovely views of the property around us. It was near a grove of beautiful shady trees near the river and protected from the wind. Our grandkids enjoyed exploring the space and found many treasured stones, sticks and rocks to remind them of a great holiday on the farm and discovery the surrounding area!! Staying here reminded us of how important it is to value the hard work of our sheep property owners and other farmers. Thanks for having us stay and would love to come back.
