Amazing views
Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
We are offering our paddock for easy, convenient camping. We are located half way ( 20mins drive ) between Bairnsdale and Lakes Entrance. Our local pub and general store are only a 6 minute drive away. Our place offers an access gate onto the famous 'East GippslandRail Trail'. The paddock itself is roughly 4 acres. We are happy to have horses stay as well as dogs so long as temporary fencing is provided by equine owners. Check out the famous 90mile beach, and even the locally owned buisness 'venture out' that hires stand up paddle boards/bikes and more for your convenience located in lakes entrance. Although we do not offer toilets and showers, there are toilets and showers only 6minutes drive down the road at the local Johnsonville boat ramp, and also a dumping point at Nicholson boat ramp (10minutes drive). We have lots of amazing fishing spots on offer in our area, some are as little as (5mins) away. Boat ramp located only (6mins drive) at Johnsonville. We welcome boats to stay also but do recommend flushing your boats at one of the local car washes, due to us not offering the facilities to complete your boat care. We are also only 15minutes from the Metung hot springs. Or head the other way to Paynesville and Raymond Island to see the Koalas and kangaroos and have a dining experience with a water view (only 35mins drive). We have our beautiful local swim spot at Tambo Bay (14-minute drive) from our camping paddock, that's perfect for a wind down on a summer's day. Or if you just want to relax and wind down, you might just enjoy admiring the birds around you and the frogs singing from dusk till dawn in the dam located within the camping paddock. Pets are welcome, we ask that you take all rubbish with you on departure.

Road side paddock. Quiet still. Stayed here on a Friday night doing the Haunted Stream. Did the long run on Friday after work to have the full day on the tracks. Hosts were easy going and easy access too. Thank you!

We enjoyed our 2 night stay. Nice country view. The rail trail only a few minutes walk away for a nice scenic walk (or ride). Close to the road but not noisy at night at all. Thanks to our host Sarah-Kate.

An open-style paddock with shade available. Reminded me very much of my home-state, Qld. Immediate access to the rail trail if you are into bicycling, and walking. A sloping gradient with choices of where to set up . The property is immediately beside a fairly busy road - I had thought it might be disturbing, but no…easy to fall asleep without being disturbed. The host was immediately helpful when I had flat battery & ensured I was able to get on my way.
