Views galore. Your camp spot is on the bank of your own private dam with views over the fields, dam and reservoir. Your camping spot is private with no others campers. You can swim, kayak and fish from the dams on the property and the Wurdiboluc Reservoir is only a stones throw away and is a renowned fishing spot. There are great 4WD tracks located around the area and a short 15 minute trip to Torquay or Aireys Inlet, 10 minutes to Geelong and Winchelsea amenities are close by, but you will feel a world away from it all here. There is no toilet facilities at the camp ground, but you will find a public toilet about 400 meters from the camp site located at the Wurdale HallPitch your tent or park your van and enjoy the surrounding. Your camp spot is private, so no other campers will be around. It is on the bank of the bottom dam with views over the dam and reservoir.

Whilst there are no toilet facilities on the property, there is a public toilet located at the Wurdale Hall located at 200 Wurdale Road, Winchelsea South, 3241 (remember to take your own loo paper). The dams have been stocked with trout, red fin and yellow belly. The Wurdibuloc reservoir is only a minute drive with views looking out over the reservoir. You are close to Winchelsea, Birregurra, Geelong and the Surf Coast only being fifteen minutes to the beach. There is ample bush walking, hiking, horse riding and 4WD tracks surrounding the property.

Fantastic view especially as the sun sets down. Great weekend, weather was hot, dam was good and kids had fun with the kayak. Goats, sheeps, dogs and cows were very friendly and entertaining. Host was easy to communicate with. Location is remote which makes it quiet with no neighboors and not too far from Melbourne.

Wurdale Waters Bottom Dam
This was a truly special camp site. The perfect place to camp with a group of friends. The scenery is beautiful. The reserve, the Greenland the lake in the distance the stars at night accompanied by a log fire pit… it simply doesn’t get more cosy. We found it very easy to decompress here after a strenuous week of work and planning. It was worth all the effort. On top of this, the land is located in a perfect place. Right between Torquay, Lorne and Airleys. Driving distance from the beach. I highly recommend this to people who are looking to camp with friends and have some privacy doing so. Thank you Barney for having us, it was real 🙌

Was a nice relaxing campsite, definitely think it’s overpriced with no amenities at all. Needs a clean up and tidy up. Rubbish everywhere and old items. The animals were cool and dam was a nice swim.

Such a relaxing spot to set up camp the night. Boys enjoyed feeding the highland cows. They went swimming in the dam in the kayak provided and even caught a yabbie with the nets hanging from the end of the dock. Side was big enough for us.

Camping by the Dam
Tent · With kids ·
Wurdale Waters Bottom Dam
I loved the camping experience here. The best part was the view—the spot right in front of the water dam was beautiful. The campsite was set up really well for campers, and the kayaking experience in the dam was amazing, especially since the kayaks were left there for campers to enjoy. The kids had a great time. We were initially worried about toilets and water, but luckily there was a good toilet just two minutes away from the spot, so we didn’t have any issues during our stay. Overall, this is one of the best camping spots we’ve experienced so far.

Tent · With pets ·
Wurdale Waters Bottom Dam
The site itself is great although in need of a good cleanup. The highland cows were a massive highlight. Communication on behalf of the host was non existent. I hoped to purchase firewood and messaged through hipcamp 4 times, emailed through the alternative contact and after no response called the hosts mobile and left a message. Never got a reply and were never greeted at the site as stated would happen.

A great option for any solo traveller (specifically female) who want some extra reassurance of safety. Beautiful scenery of the dam, friendly cows and plenty of birds and ducks. Very cold during winter so don’t forget your thermals and make sure you have the fire going strong through the night

Rustic Farmstay - Great Ocean Road
7 m travel trailer ·
Wurdale Waters Bottom Dam
Loved our recent stay here, well positioned to explore the Great Ocean Road without being caught up in the tourist hot spots, enjoyed a lovely rustic farm stay. The views was incredible, the cows adorable and the visiting farm dog full of energy and cuddles. The camp area isn’t the tidiest but after the initial view you don’t really notice. Will stay there again!

I was disappointed with this site. Sitting around the fire at night was enjoyable, but the daytime experience left a lot to be desired. The area hasn’t been well maintained—there were collapsible camping tables scattered everywhere and rubbish left around the dam. The photos make the place look much better than it actually is. There’s a house not far from the campsite that had a party on Saturday night. They were playing some good music, so it didn’t bother us too much. However, for the price you’re paying for an unpowered site, it’s just not worth it.

Beautiful property, views of the dam, rolling hills and surrounded by farm animals! Sunset was amazing, couldn’t ask for much more from a farm camp - cooking area, camp fire pit, hammock, kayak to use on the dam. Privacy from the main house - driveway easily accessible. Toilets just up at the hall.

What a beautiful spot! The campsite is very private and secluded and very spacious for big groups. The water isn't super clean and the cows poo/wee in it so we didn't swim but aside from that it was perfect for a stay!

While the jetty and the dam do look lovely, the fire pit surrounded by the log benches is a great - the surrounding area is all quite shabby and you’re just a few metres from the neighbouring property- we didn’t see any people but its sheds and farm equipment- you’re just wedged between too farms, rather than it being in the middle of nowhere - as the pictures make it seem. The whole site looked unkept and we’re average, basic campers. there were a couple of big wooden barrel/reel things that looked like they’re be thrown into the dam just sitting under the water, tins of tuna scattered along the dam edge (pretty sure from the yabby nets), a giant thistle/prickle bush in the middle of the camp area, like almost a metre high that my partner ended up digging out, 3 big blow up boats all deflated on the dam edge- looking like mote rubbish, Behind the site is a wooden platform that while is solid - it has what look like walls that have all fallen over making the whole thing look dodgey… and blackberry growing around it - the whole site just looked really unkept - and when you’re already paying more than other basic unpowered, no real facilities - no nice spot to go for a walk as the whole site is surrounded by the owners piles of “stuff”. The whole just site really needs to be worked on - it looked like they just didn’t care. We’ve had so many great hipcamp experiences this our first bad one.

Camping at Wurdale Waters bottom dam was a great place to unwind and enjoy the tranquillity with peaceful nights spent star gazing by cosy open fires. Lots of Birdlife which was a delight to watch as well as the Highland Cattle which were an impressive sight to behold. Very photogenic. A great base to explore the Great Ocean Road with Torquay being a 30 minute drive and Lorne about 40 minutes away . All in all a great place to have to yourselves. Thanks for hosting Barney

Beautiful and peaceful. Site had its own privacy away from the main road and a nice outlook over the surrounding lands and wurdi boluc reservoir. I found the dam although beautiful, didn’t look swimmable. Great fire pit too. Would definitely book again.
