Bring the family and friends for a secluded and private wilderness experience surrounded by 60 acres of forest. This totally separate wilderness camping paddock sits within our organic permaculture farm property where we grow fruits, veggies, nuts and flowers.  Set up camp in the shade on a gently sloping 2 acre paddock all to yourself - that's right - we are offering only one site listing (for you and up to 29 guests) situated about 1 km from the main farm house and completely surrounded by forest.  A genuine wilderness experience with forest (tree) bathing, spring fed creeks and total peace for you and your group very close to Melbourne. You can hopefully spot our resident platypus and kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas, wombats etc. There’s also abundant bird life including lyre birds and eagles. Explore all the Yarra Ranges has to offer including a short walk to Shiprock Falls. Grab a coffee or pizza in nearby Gembrook and checkout some farm produce from your hosts before you leave. We have added a composting toilet, a drinking water tank and a bush pole shelter with cold water kitchen sink, phone charger ports, lights and hot water to a private shower and a picnic table with seats under cover.  We have an adjacent fire pit area with tree log seating.  You can order firewood from us too and a Coleman gas cooker with gas bottle (see extras). Most of the materials are repurposed from another property or scavenged from our forest. We hope to see you soon.Bring the family and friends for a secluded and private wilderness experience surrounded by 60 acres of forest.

Shiprock was perfect for our big group of 11 kids and 9 adults! The kids could run around and have the best time ever while the adults relaxed. Plenty of space for everyone, lots of things to see and do and excellent facilities. A+ swimming spot at Doon Reserve, 15 minutes away!

Great camping place for family
We stayed over Australia Day weekend. Excellent facilities, toilet and shower were easy to use. We travelled with 2 young kids (5 and 3) and they had a ball walking the bush tracks and walking to Shiprock Falls. Rob was great, very accomodating and informative of the site and local area. Thanks for the stay, would definitely recommend and we will be back soon.

Great site, but lots of ants
We had a great time and Rob was a great host. The facilities are great providing us with great meal area, and the site was great for a casual camp with the kids. The only issue we ran into was a lot of ants throughout the site, if we did this site again I'd pay a lot more attention to where we put our tents.
