Summary AI-generated from real reviews
There's a small building with M&F showers and bathrooms, as well as bins for glass, recycling and garbage collection. Most people set up camp in the field adjacent to the bathroom blocks which is surrounded by a beautiful hillside. You can walk around the property and go up over the ridge for a nice view of the sunrise. The horses there are very friendly too! They do have cabins (double bed, charge points, drawers and complementary coffee & tea) for those less keen on sleeping in a tent.
Definitely an easy camping experience!

Beautiful place to camp. Stayed for 3 nights and had an amazing time. The property is huge, green rolling hills, bushland, valleys and dams, with plenty of room to explore.
Lots of opportunities to hike and even saw deer in the evenings. The scenery was fantastic.
Anouk and the team were very welcoming. Definitely be back!
Fantastic spot, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our short stay. The scenery and hospitality were out of this world. Thanks you Grace. We will be back!
We enjoyed the location of the Hipcamp - the countryside is really pretty. However, we were really disappointed with the length of grass in the camping paddock ... from ankle height to knee and sometimes thigh height! We had to traipse through this each time we wanted to go to the bathroom block, and in the rain tall grass definitely wasn't fun. I know the weather had been a bit wet prior to the long weekend, so may have hampered the host's preparations, but the grass obviously hadn't been tended to for a long time. Also the bathrooms were a nice to have, but were not well tended either, as the toilet paper was never replenished over the weekend (we were advised to bring our own, just in case!). The facility was also quite dusty, and obviously only the "important" areas got regular cleaning. It might sound a little petty, but a number of other campers I spoke to felt exactly the same. And for $70+ per night we were kind of hoping for a more special experience.

Had a wonderful few days at Wildcroft. Grace is a fabulous host. Our site was surrounded by lovely green hills. We will definitely be back.
Beautiful campground with a picturesque view of the rolling hills. Grace is a fantastic host who looks after her guests. The campsite has excellent cooking facilities with a large pergola big enough to fit several groups. Hot showers and toilets are basic but very welcome after a long day exploring the hills and nearby quaint country towns. We visited with our little dog who loved exploring. There are friendly farm dogs who occasionally wander across to say hello. Highly recommend this campsite.
Grace was a fantastic host who made us feel very welcome on her beautiful property.
We were fortunate to have the entire place to ourselves, aside from one couple staying in one of the four cabins on Friday night, set off to the side of the camping area.
There are no designated site numbers, so you’re free to choose any spot within the camping area, which adds to the relaxed feel of the stay.
Highly recommend taking the walk up to the ridge — the views are absolutely spectacular.
This was our second visit to Grace's Land, and it absolutely lived up to every wonderful memory we had from our first time. We brought along 10 friends to celebrate my partner's birthday, and we genuinely could not have asked for a better setting to make it special.
The facilities made everything so easy and comfortable — ample bathrooms meant no morning queues, the massive BBQ was perfect for group cooking, the fridge kept everything fresh, and there were plenty of tables and chairs for everyone to spread out and relax. Having fireplace options was the cherry on top for those cosy evening wind-downs.
We had the best time cooking big meals together, gathering around the fire for long chats, playing with adorable Spot the dog, and taking a moment to pat the horses.
The only downside? We had to leave! We were already talking about our next trip on the drive home. If you're looking for a spot that handles a big group with ease while still feeling warm and personal, look no further. We'll absolutely be back — we just wish we could have stayed longer!

It was a fantastic experience staying on Grace’s property. The camping paddock looks out over rolling hills, making for some incredible sunsets. There’s nothing quite like waking up to morning mist and horses nearby. Grace was a very gracious host who went out of her way to connect with her guests.
Beautiful view of the mountains and loved seeing the horses in the paddocks. Great facilities on site plus offered excursions over easter to participate in and get to know fellow campers. Grace is lovely and a great communicator!
Grace & her team provide a wonderful, welcoming, & safe environment where you can just get back to nature in all of her glory;
It’s quiet; & the perfect place to reground & recharge from the norm of the pace of modern life;
Nice campsite on picturesque farm land. Good facilities and good location.
We had an awesome stay at Wildcroft – it’s exactly what you want when you’re looking to properly switch off and get out of the city.
The property itself is huge, with rolling hills and plenty of space to spread out, so it never feels crowded. We spent most of our time just relaxing, exploring, and hiking up the hills – the views are worth it, especially early morning and around sunset.
One of the highlights was the early morning deer tour with the local professional hunters. Such a unique experience and something you definitely wouldn’t get at a typical campsite – it really adds to the whole “country escape” feel.
Easter Sunday was another standout, with breakfast with Grace. It was a great touch and made the stay feel a bit more special and personal. Grace was welcoming, helpful and most importantly super friendly, as was the Spot!
Facilities were spot on for a farm stay – clean toilets and showers, and the rotunda BBQ area is a great communal space if you want it.
We also checked out the Moto Guzzi museum, which was a cool little bonus and worth a visit if you’re into bikes or just want to explore the area a bit.
Overall, this is one of those places that nails the balance between relaxing, unique experiences, and comfort. We’d definitely come back.
We had a great time camping at this site! Upon arrival we were warmly greeted and directed towards the large field where you can pick a spot to set up.
There's a toilet/shower block with separate male/female sides. These amenities were very clean and having a hot shower in the mornings was a massive bonus.
There's hundreds of acres for you to hike/roam just behind the field and the views are absolutely incredible.
There's a fair amount to do and see in the surrounding area, we went up to Yea, a really nice town with two great bakeries.
The real stars of the show were Mr Harry and Spot, two lovely dogs who came to visit our site, usually when we were cooking.
We highly recommend staying here!
Absolutely beautiful place to visit lovely scenery along with the stunning Equestrian Horses in the paddocks and the challenge to climb the Hills to view the magnificent view's all around once on top.The host Grace is a wonderful person and excellent Host along with her dog's always running about. Loved our Easter Weekend there 15 out of 10

Great campsite, and very beautiful surroundings with horses, dogs and deer in the hills. Grace’s dogs, Spot and Harry, visited us multiple times (they are very cute and friendly) and other campers had dogs too. Toilets and showers were clean with hot water available.
Definitely check out the Moto Guzzi museum next door as well!
The best hicamp experience with the most wonderful host Grace. The view from the meadow was gorgeous. Horses and deers across the hills. Some fabulous extras to take advantage of as well.
We will be going back for sure!
Great place to stay, Grace is a fantastic host, the 4wd to watch the sunsetbwas magnificent. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
What an amazing weekend at Wildecroft on Grace's Land! We will definitely be back and would recommend this spot to anyone in Melbourne looking for a peaceful, picturesque escape from the city but without a long drive. We brought our dog who had an even better time than we did, and made himself so many besties.
The space is massive so you don't feel on top on anyone and have plenty of room to spread your setup out, it's not numbered and cramped like other campgrounds we've been to.
The walks you have access to are to die for, and the hosts Grace and Anouk are the loveliest and chillest people.
Already thinking about our next trip back after winter.

Really lovely campsite. The facilities of the rotunda with a massive bbq and lots of chairs was amazing & the toilets were always clean. Loved the hot showers! The area is so peaceful with horses and deer & the camp dogs. There is so much space to set up camp. The road leading in can be a bit bumpy (fine for smaller cars but just need to take it slow). Well definitely be back - thanks so much Grace :)
We do a fair bit of camping around regional Victoria and this place is our favourite spot to date!
Grace was there to welcome us on arrival. She showed us a few spots we had to chose from to set up camp. She also gave us a run-down of the facilities and where we could swim. We were fortunate to have the entire paddock to ourselves, including the huge rotunda, equipped with a bbq, fireplace and plenty of furniture. It was much too hot to light the fire but we'll definitely be back to make the most of it in cooler weather.
There was also a demountable bathroom, set up with plenty of loos and showers. Hot water with great pressure too.
We spent our afternoons patting the friendliest horses and floating on our inflatables in the dam.
The dam was a small walk from our camping spot. We also played a lot of frizbee with Spot, the dog. A total legend!
We also went for a 25 minute drive to a winery called Philip Lobley Wines. They do wood fired pizzas on the weekend and were definitely something to write home about 👌🏻 worth messaging ahead to book. Wines were great also!
Another highlight was seeing the incredible wildlife on Grace’s Land. Plenty of beautiful birds and we even saw an Echidna!
10/10 experience. It's a scorching summer weekend atm but I can imagine this place being equally as magical in winter. We'll also need to come back to check out the Moto Guzzi museum!
Thanks for sharing your slice of paradise with us, Grace. Your hospitality is much appreciated!

Beautiful, peaceful setting around 5km off the highway. We sent 4 nights with 3 other groups scattered around the camping area.
There was plenty of space so that you didn't feel like you were encroaching on others.
We didn't leave the property spending our time exploring the hills, including both a drive & walk up to The Hilton. Facilities were great, toliets, showers & common gazebo. It was also nice to have Spot, Grace's dog visit us each day. Not being dog owners ourselves, he was such a beautiful natured & friendly cattle dog.
