Primitive camping

Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

The Wak is a well-maintained 1 acre vacant paddock where you can park your caravan or pitch a tent and sleep under the stars. It's a simple bush camping base positioned on the river flats in which to explore the beautiful surrounds of Kongwak. It's a chance at escapism hugged by velvet cattle-dotted hills and endless picturesque greenery. Please note: no facilities. Please arrive during daylight hours so as not to disturb others on the paddock. Driving on the paddock in the dark in unfamiliar territory adds unnecessary risk to others eg. collisions with swags. If this isn't possible, please set up camp in the house yard away from others. On arrival please call/text 0488091478 if you're unsure whether you're in the correct paddock. Our property is only 2 acres in total. The rest of the land belongs to busy farmers who don't want to be disturbed by lost guests trespassing on their land. Yes, that has actually happened! Entry is the right-hand-side gate at the end of Wolonga Estate Road. You'll see two cement troughs side-by-side sitting in the paddock. Located just 5 mins from the village where the vintage-inspired Kongwak Market is held every Sunday from 10-2pm. There's views of the green hills and beautiful beef and dairy cattle are rotated from paddock to paddock in nearby fields. They're the best kept cows you've ever seen! A curious fox has also been known to sneakily visit campers onsite. He's harmless but likes to steal the odd shoe. It's best to pack away any small items and food stuffs. 10-15 mins from Inverloch. 15 mins from Wonthaggi. 15 mins from Korumburra. 20 mins from Loch. 20 mins from Leongatha.The mowed paddock site is located next to the main house (separated by electric fencing). The nearest toilet is 5 mins down the road at the Kongwak Tennis Club rooms (open to the public). Feel free to use the house tap attached to the front of the home. There's views of the green hills and beautiful beef and dairy cattle are rotated from paddock to paddock in nearby fields. They're the best kept cows you've ever seen! Five mins from here is Kongwak's main street. It's home to the vintage-inspired Sunday Market and other second-hand stores. The old butter factory is due for reopening in 2026. Play tennis on the local tennis courts. Enjoy a picnic or go hiking at Pioneer Reserve. Sample local eateries at Loch, Kilcunda, Wonthaggi, Inverloch and Meeniyan. The Killy Pub's ribs are famous! Archies Creek Hotel is even closer for locally-sourced wine/beer and renowned music entertainment.

Quiet, peaceful and beautiful

We had a great stay over Easter at the Wak Paddock. Super quiet, lots of space and only around 20min to get to Kilcunda, Wonthaggi and Inverloch. Highly recommend over any commercial campground if you are self-sufficient (esp over a LWE!)

Beautiful and quiet.

Beautiful quiet place. A warm welcome from Megan as soon as we arrived. Mown grads and flat, great for the caravan. Nice and close to Loch and Korumburra. We'll definitely be coming back.

The Wak Paddock

A little gem hidden from the hustle and bustle. Flat ground, enough shade and the peace and quiet we were looking for.

The Wak Paddock

A well maintained paddock (Nice short grass) plenty of room and in a lovely hilly rural area 20 minutes from Inverloch, Wonthaggi or Korumburra and an hour from Waratah Bay near Wilson's Prom. Would definitely stay there again.

Great spot

Meg was lovely to give us the opportunity to camp at her estate! However, whilst enjoying the peace and nature of the surroundings, unfortunately a couple of late arrivals with kids absolutely destroyed all the peace and vibe by keeping us awake till about past midnight... Not much to be done about it, perhaps, creating a check in-check out time frame? Just a suggestion... Thank you again Meg! 😊
