Enjoy open spaces and deserted beach, using our farm as base camp to explore the amazing Snowy River Region on the Wilderness Coast. We offer sites for self-contained campers only and there is no services, pets are welcome. Please note - All the area that has been slashed in the front paddocks you can camp in and spread out. Beach access is straight over the road from the front gate You can lite fires and firewood is for sale at the farm gate store honesty box further down the road from the gate you enter if you don't bring your own. Escape the modern tourist world and in a pristine, undeveloped old country farming area right on the coast near the mouth of the famous Snowy River. Amazing fishing in both the River and Corringle Beach, with many different species caught at different times of the year. Enjoy the 40-kilometre deserted beach, sun baking (even nude if that's your thing), and swimming, but care must be taken (unpatrolled surf beach). Romantic sunsets with no one but the odd seal and sounds of the waves to disturb you. Beach fire at night is something special to do. The beach track is across from the front gate, there is no beach sign from the road because the public will then use the track which is only for Hipcampers and you wont enjoy the deserted beach. Call me if you cant find the track, but most people have not had a problem. This walking access is steep, easier tracks can be driven to down the road. Or take a dip in the river further down the road, and explore the waterways, with many birds; black swans in the lakes next to camp, plus kangaroos, wombats, emu and deer. There is a boat ramp just down the road to explore the river system. Perfect for water sports, and with fish cleaning tables at the wharf. Go by boat to the Marlo Hotel from the wharf straight over the river. Orbost is 15 minutes drive and has a supermarket, hotel, bottle shop and other conveniences. We are open to accepting larger group bookings, but please discuss this with us first. Other things you can do in the area: - Driving trips to High Country Scenic Route and exploring the High Country (4-5 hour round trip). - Visit the Buchan Caves about an hour into the High Country - they are amazing. - Explore Cape Conran & you can even Dive for Abalone and Crayfish. - Visit Lakes Entrance and buy Seafood from the Trawlers. - Drive to Mt Hotham ski resort and explore the Omeo High Country (3 hours) - Visit Gordon at the Opal & Gemstone House in Orbost and find out about the gold, geology and gemstones of the area, hearing first-hand stories about how the area was many years ago from a great local old-timer who loves to share his knowledge and the old ways things were done.

*Due to the weather situation in the area the creek flows are sporadic. However, the several waterholes on the creeks do maintain water. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns* Our little piece of paradise is nestled quietly in a valley in Wulgulmerang East in East Gippsland. With 111 acres of primarily untouched native bushland to explore, we know this land needs to be shared to appreciate the beauty. With two creeks meeting and Goodwin Gorge on the property there are plenty of natural delights to enjoy. Approximately 2kms down the road is the convergence of the mighty Alpine and Snowy National Parks. Here you will find Little River Falls and Little River Gorge which are only minutes away from the property. Little River Gorge is Victoria's deepest Gorge and home to the one of the last colonies of the critically endangered Black Footed Rock Wallaby. The Wulgulmerang Creek that runs through the property, empties into the gorge in a stunning cascade, after rain. We are a dog friendly property but as we share this land with a myriad of wildlife we ask that appropriate respect is considered. McKillops Bridge is approx 20kms away. McKillops Road is considered amongst the 10 most scenic drives in Australia, with jaw dropping scenery along the way. Alternately take the scenic drive to Jindabyne along the Barry Way approximately 2 1/2 hours away. The property is remote with the nearest township of Buchan 40 minutes away. We will endeavour to have basic emergency supplies available at the homestead. There is no mobile coverage at the campsites, giving you the opportunity to disconnect from your electronics and enjoy nature. There is access to the Wifi at the homestead if you do need to make calls.

Beautiful property on the river. We loved our stay very quiet and peaceful. Only ten mins drive to town.

We parked right here and this was our vista. We woke up to the view of cows. We just angled our car beside our van to give us privacy from the main house.

Weekend Trip to Nowa Nowa Lakeside Farmlet.

We had an amazing stay camping on Mike’s property. The site offered complete privacy when booking all three sites, which made it incredibly peaceful and relaxing. There was clean, fresh water readily available, and the facilities went above and beyond—bikes, kayaks, and other amenities were all on hand and easy to use. Mike and his wife were extremely accommodating, kind, and welcoming, which really made the experience special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable, private, and well-equipped camping stay.

Peaceful rural outlook, freshly mowed grass and just a short stroll to town.

5 nights at Blackwood Arm Camping

What a great place! It feels a million kilometres from the rest of the world but only 15 minutes from Lakes Entrance and all you could need. The camping site includes a small elevated area and two larger more open areas. We loved staying on the smaller elevated area allowing a minute to minute view of the North Arm. Levelling the van seemed more difficult in the lower zones but everyone got settled. We were one of about 5 groups and the space was great. About 15 metres away from our van was the jetty and many people tried to catch fish. We got in a kayak and paddled down the North Arm past forest, swamp grasses and some beautiful homes. You need to be self sufficient - there is no power, no water and no toilets/showers. Rhonda was lovely and responded very quickly to every query we had. Be sure to check out the Wyanga Park Winery for a Mexican dinner.

1 night at The Old Blackwood Mill

I loved the camp areas. Clear enough but still well and truely in the bush. The fresh water rock pools are amazing. Wayne is a great guy and loves the land. We loved our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

The best camping in Snowy River National Park, VIC guide

Overview

About

The mighty Snowy River winds its way through forested cliffs and plunging gorges at Snowy River National Park, and the wild landscapes provide the perfect playground for outdoor adventures. Take to the water to white-water raft or canoe, follow thrilling 4WD tracks up to spectacular cliff-top lookouts, or go rock climbing, mountain biking, or horseback riding through rugged gorges and old-growth forests. Hikers have plenty of options, including the popular Silver Mine Walking Track, while campers can take their pick of seven bush campgrounds, some of which are suitable for caravans and motorhomes.

Notable campgrounds

Best for families: Waratah Flat Camping Area is one of the few campgrounds with toilets, firepits, and picnic tables.
Best for paddlers: McKillops Bridge Campground lies along the Snowy River and has a canoe launch and swimming areas.
Best for escaping the crowds: Jackson Crossing Camping Area provides back-to-basics bush camping for tents and camper trailers.

Was great to walk Kosciuszko. There was still snow across the paths. Chair lift was wonderful and a must. Mountain bike heaven when I was there.

Stunning scenery but some of the roads are pretty hectic with big drops on one side. Take your time on the bends and make sure you know what you are getting into if it's raining. Hardly any towns in the area so plan accordingly.

Little River Gorge lookout and McKullops Drive down to McKullops bridge are both unmissable. Be warned though, the drive down the ridge is not for the faint of heart.
