... Hi there and welcome to our home, Penzance! We fell in love with our slice of heaven in 2010 and adore every back breaking inch of it. It was an over grown mess at the time, covered in broken bricks and beer cans. We've tried to keep the bush aspect while creating a park like surround with plenty of grassy space. We have big plans for our land and hope to build a steam museum in our other area over the creek. Excitingly, we will also be establishing a blacksmiths forge in that area, which was moved piece by piece from an historic farm at Avoca. Chris is an engineer, antique restorer and artisan working from home. I am an actor and artist working in metal, clay and paint. I'm inspired by my flower garden and the bush that frames it. We offer one site so privacy is assured. Larger groups can be accommodated, please enquire if you'd like to learn more. We look forward to welcoming you to Penzance.

Lovely quiet and peaceful spot! We loved seeing the rosellas flying up out of the meadow and listening to the frogs as the sun went down.

Wonderful place to stay, great location and lovely gallery and cafe. Owners were wonderful, and it was quick and easy to get to Melbourne and other more touristy towns. Lovely town as well, friendly and with everything you need. Existing photos don’t do it justice, it is a lovely property!

We had a lovely one-night stay at Dromkeen in our motorhome. Our hosts were most welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful countryside, as well as the gallery tour and the very interesting stories that went with it - thank you. We were sorry we only had one night and would happily recommend the site and hosts.

Weekend Trip to Lerderderg Lookout
It's a great location, 1hour from the zoo. Yes it's on the road but it is very quiet. Multiple camps to drive in but some is overgrown with branches and long grass. The toilet hadn't been cleaned and we had to fill up the portaloo water ourselves too. One of the neighbours were playing doof doof music all night which definitely ruined alot of it for us. Would still recommend though as a camp before heading into town or the zoo etc.

Weekend Trip to Olive Farm
We loved our stay, and will definitely be back. The Olive farm was a perfect weekend escape from the hustle and bustle of life - we could slow down, soak in the sun, bird song and beautiful landscapes. Our 12 year old loved the kayaks available to paddle around the dam and up the creek. A great spot if you’re a bird watcher as we sighted many species.

Really nice secluded, private spot with a ripper toilet and friendly, likeable host. Chris' place is spacious and secluded with some interesting rustic metal antiques placed around the property. There's a couple of very solid tables for storing food stuff and doing your cooking & washing up so don't bother bringing a camp table like we did!

Belinda's paddock was just what we needed for our two camping families for an overnight stop. A large mown space, isolated but close enough to town. The fire pit was great. Belinda was a great host. Lots of joeys around for the kids to enjoy spotting. Lovely fire pit too.

Wow! What a great little camp. We booked here to be close to Sovereign Hill for the kids. It was a lovely little camp for our group of two families. The grass was green, the sun was shining, there was plenty of shade and great facilities around the camp fire, like tables. We loved the rusty relics but a true highlight was the Powder Room. Thanks for having us Chris. We hope to be back one day. Don't hesitate in booking Penzance. One of our favourite campsites this trip.

The best camping in Brisbane Ranges National Park, VIC guide

Overview

About

Just a 1.5-hour drive from Melbourne CBD, the Brisbane Ranges National Park provides an idyllic escape from city life. Go bushwalking through rocky gullies and forested gorges, gaze out over sweeping foothills speckled with wildflowers, and spot kangaroos, birds, and koalas—the park has Victoria’s highest concentration of wild koalas. The three-day Burchell Trail is a highlight for hikers, while scenic drives and picnic areas are dotted throughout. Campers can choose between the park’s two campgrounds, both of which have pit toilets, tank water, and campsites suitable for tents, caravans, and camper trailers.

Notable campgrounds

  • Best for caravans: Fridays campground has ten unpowered sites (two suitable for camper trailers/caravans), with firepits and picnic tables at one of the Burchell trailheads.
  • Best for nature lovers: Boar Gully Campground has seven unpowered sites (one suitable for camper trailers) close to the wildflower viewpoints.
  • Best for backpackers: Burchell Trail Camping offers two hike-in bush campsites along the Burchell Trail, with pit toilets, BBQs, and tank water.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Advance bookings are required for all campgrounds, including the bushwalker-only sites along the Burchell Trail.
  2. You can book online via the Parks Victoria website up to six months in advance. 
  3. Campsites can book up fast during peak season (December-Feb), especially over weekends and school holidays. Book at least three months in advance to avoid disappointment.

When to go

Spring is the most scenic time to explore the national park, when colourful displays of wildflowers bloom throughout the mountain valleys. Summer temperatures can get hot for bushwalkers, so plan hikes for early in the day—the hours after sunrise or around dusk are typically the best time for wildlife watching, too.

Know before you go

  • There are two entry points to Brisbane Ranges National Park—along Glenmore Road at the north of the park or along Granite Road at the south end of the park. The closest town is Meredith, where you’ll find a gas station, general store, and cafés.
  • There is no admission fee for Brisbane Ranges National Park, but camping fees apply.
  • Park facilities include toilets, picnic areas, and BBQs. Bring everything you need with you, including drinking water.
  • Partial or total fire bans are often introduced during the summer months. The risk of bushfires is severe, so keep an eye on the park website and always follow the latest guidelines.
  • There are accessible toilets, campsites, and picnic areas at the national park, and a TrailRider all-terrain wheelchair is also available (advance booking required).

Excellent walking but completely dry, save for tapwater in the scattered picnic spots (and perhaps camping areas, though I'm not sure). Plenty of unique wildlife: I spotted a few birds I've never seen before, a lot of trapdoors at night and possibly two reintroduced long nosed potoroos during the day. Also rock wallabies at dawn and dusk. Overall a very peaceful vibe, notwithstanding the odd human local who sets out to ruin it.
