Woodland Retreat is A PET FRIENDLY camp site suited to those who want to get away from it all, and camp by the billabong in the shade of Coolibah tree. The property is less than an hour from the Grampians and nearby historic towns, wineries and gold diggings. Woodland Retreat provides a safe place to retreat and cool off after a day exploring. Enjoy onsite bushwalking, fishing, swimming, paddle boarding, and mountain views of the Pyrenees.Our camp site is in a secluded open forest adjacent to seasonal stream that has been dammed to make a billabong. Feel free to explore forest, seasonal stream, gullies and open fields, with views of the Pyrenees and farms, but please avoid private area with sheds in the eastern corner. You are likely to encounter kangaroos, shingleback lizards, a myriad of birds and if your lucky a large lace monitor. There is a good spot to eat in town at the Landsborough Hotel and Summerfield Winery in Avoca is also a popular spot to eat, not to mention visiting nearby towns like Ararat or Stawell. Landsborough was a historic gold rush area, and maps can be searched for and purchased online if you are interested in fossicking. Access the site from the bitumen road then make your way along the dirt track to the right towards the centre of the property where the dam/billabong is located. Turn left and set up under the trees.

Billabong Camp

Really calm and serene spot with the billabong and big beautiful gums. Some nice small touches like a bench overlooking the water and a really well looked after portaloo. The kids loved throwing rocks in the water and riding around it. We had a great time. Excellent signage and easy to access too.

Billabong Camp

The campsite was great. It was so nice to walk around the property and explore the bush with my dog! We saw plenty of kangaroos, a wallaby, lots of birds, and a beautiful sunset. The site also had a big campfire spot set up, and there was ample firewood around to collect. It was really handy having a portable toilet onsite. Peter and Jocelyn were really good at replying to messages. We were very happy campers :)

Mountain View

Wow! Absolutely beautiful campsite. Peters land feels really special, and is incredible for bushwalks and paddleboarding on the billabong. We loved our stay here especially being able to bring our dogs and having the whole place to ourselves! We really enjoyed seeing the resident kangaroos and the shingleback lizard. Peter and his partner were so friendly and easygoing, were so glad to be the first campers here! Will definitely be back again!
