Tambo Cottages offers a simple and peaceful camping experience, ideal for those looking to escape the crowds. Its location is convenient, being close to Lakes Entrance and Metung, and the hosts, Christina and Robert, are noted for their welcoming nature. However, some campers felt it was a bit pricey for the amenities provided, as it's essentially a bare paddock with limited facilities. The site is dog-friendly and offers lovely views, making it a good stopover for those exploring the area.

I’m not really a fan of HipCamp. Seems to be an opportunity for landowners to provide little but charge a lot. This place provided nothing, was a bare paddock next to fairly busy road and charged more than the average caravan park. Six of us on the place. But we had no choice over Easter. Other places have at least provided privacy and seclusion.

I loved the camp ground, well looked after grounds, plenty of room for even large caravans. Close to the road but only very light traffic. I recommend this camp.

Christina and Robert were welcoming and their place is a good location just outside Metung, with a great view.

A great place to stay, just 8kms to the Metung village. Half way between Bairnsdale and Lakes Entrance. Open paddock. We stayed near the shed rolling hills view. Will return again when visiting friends in Metung
It’s hard to give a lot of feedback when we parked our van in an open paddock. We had a good view & the paddock was easy accessible.

Great location on the map.
Super easy access and check in and out. No real dramas at all.
That being said the actual camp is just a bare paddock, no shade and also runs directly along a semi busy road thats traffic noise is occasional but pronounced,
Would recommend for a caravan and to just have somewhere to sleep and be out during the day, little pricey for what it is.
Wonderful property, the type of people who stayed were awesome and the safety for our dog with the fencing was great.
The sunsets are to die for.
close to Bruthen then Omeo and beyond, Lakes Entrance and then Metung.
Bairnsdale for shopping if need be.
Cannot wait to stay again to visit friends and locations from the past.
Thanks Christine and Robert

Easy access but false advertising. Property and photo says 4 acres with access to the back paddock. But got asked to pack up and move to another small paddock first night in
Lost a night and getaway cut short :/

Nice quiet spot other than the cows in the morning. 😊
Lovely open paddock, plenty of space for campers and flat. Was great to have other friendly campers whose dogs were nice and able to have ours off leash at times. Great location for exploring and fishing and good local facilities.

It’s only 15 minutes away from lakes entrance. The stars are very close to you during night time. It’s a nice site to stay.

We love the camping land, even though without any toilet. Calm and beautiful country scenery. By the way, there are public toilets 40secs away from the place.

This is a lovely spot especially if u have fur babies. Lots of space, potable water and close to everything. The host is very good with communication and adds that little bit extra. We forgot our firepit. She went and bought us one. Highly recommend.

Stopped a week - quiet and peaceful
Lakes Entrance / Bairnsdale easy drive - made Swan Reach our base camp and went sightseeing from there
Others camping there but heaps of space and all campers were respectful re noise
Nearest dump point is Bullock Island at lakes.
Kookaburra's came to visit
Water available if needed
Friendly and accomodating hosts

This site is well situated to explore the region being half way between Lakes Entrance and Bairnsdale. It is a peaceful spot ( apart from the Tueday night when the campers next to us raved all night with loud music) with good views and grassy sites. The morning shade is beautiful allowing us to relax and pass the time. There is plenty of room for each camp to spread out.
This is now on our list of HipCamps to return to.

Very private and great place to stay with friends just out of Lakes Entrance. We parked at the back of the paddock and couldn’t hear the road. Was lovely.

Great location, well maintained camp area and not too busy. (Roughly)20min to lakes entrance and 20min to Barnsdale makes it close enough to both locations but far enough away to not have camp on top of others.
Super easy to find. Great open space, nice and flat around the edges. We parked in the middle and just levelled up. Would stay again.

Great spot, easy overnight stay and easy to deal with and helpful hosts :)
Actually, I’m reluctant to give s as review, in case we can never get back here. All I can say is, thank you! This place is amazing. Chrissie was so responsive and answered all our questions immediately. We had 4 acres all to ourselves.. just out of town, within walking distance to the pub for dins. A million stars shone down on us, as we sat by our fire and enjoyed the rural views.
As we arrived, Ken from @kens ground control saw us and quickly popped over to mow the grass for us - talk about country hospitality- we were very humbled. We would highly recommend staying here, it’s been a very pleasurable stay to enjoy all this beautiful country has to offer. Thank you, Chrissie

The paddock was large enough to accommodate 6 sites still allowing plenty of space and privacy.
Great open space with views.
The grounds were mostly rutted. Hard to find grounds that are flat and free of cow dung for pitching a tent. After a night in wild weather, the host was kind enough to let us set up tent near the fish cleaning shed.
The ground was flat and well sheltered from the wind. My family loved the view and calmness of this spot. Many thanks.
