This property was originally part of a large farmland, divided into 5 acre lots. When we purchased in 1997, there wasn't a single tree on the place. Over the years, we have revegetated the property with native and indigenous bushland, created a wetland that attracts many native animals including birds, lizards, possums and frogs to name a few. Enjoy a hidden country escape on our 5 acre property on the Mornington Peninsula. Property features a wetland with jetty, roaming peacocks, chickens and sheep in an open woodland setting. A relaxed country atmosphere conveniently located near beaches, wineries, op shops and restaurants. Up to 3 sites available (max 1 caravan/camper or 2 tents/dwellings per site) Ideal for groups or individual campers. Our property is surrounded on two sides by reserve, the Balcombe Creek and bushland. BYO gear and set up in the paddock. We will meet you on arrival and direct you to the campsites. Access to a flushing toilet and a cold water tap/cold water shower with potable drinking water. We prefer no dogs due to peacocks and sheep and our own dogs... but please ask before booking anyway, and we will accommodate on a case-by-case basis. We are a 5 to 10-minute drive to the beautiful bay beaches of Mornington and Mt Martha and a 20-minute drive to Westernport bay and the surf beaches. Close to the nearly 60 wineries on the Mornington Peninsula, an abundance of restaurants, Peninsula Hot Springs and other attractions such as Arthurs Sea Eagle cable car, Enchanted Maze Garden, and many amazing bush walks.Enjoy a hidden country escape on our 5 acre property on the Mornington Peninsula.

Highly recommend this camp site, especially if you have young kids who haven’t been on that many camping trips. Two playful dogs, a huge family of genie pigs, four peacocks and a giant swing. My daughter does not want to leave. Owners are extremely easy to deal with, no issues at all with communication. Would definitely come again if we are in the area.

Not private but fun for kids
The hosts of this site were lovely. Tony came to greet us and was happy for us to make ourselves at home on the property. They answered our pre questions on the app quickly and made directions etc easy. The big swing was fun & a great plus if you have kids but we did notice teenagers popping in to use it from the parklands next door. The Guinea pig area would also entertain the kids as there are heaps of them hiding all over the place. They are basically wild and come and go from the orchard area. The toilet was an added bonus and was nice & clean. The campsite area however was on a fence line with a reserve/dog park on the other side. We had people walking by us until quite late & then again early in the morning. We awoke early to dogs barking at the park. After dark cars would arrive and sit for hours in the parkland which made us uncomfortable as we were a group of girls. The wetlands area was pretty but the planks leading out to it were unsafe & one flicked up as we were on it. The land was messy with bits & bobs stored here & there. It was fine for us for one night, but we wouldn’t stay longer.
