Nestled right beside the Murrundini River, all 3 campsites are beside the river, and well spaced apart for privacy and peace. Campsite 2 (site two) is shady, surrounded by tall swamp gums, black wood wattles and tree ferns. This spot is at its best from late spring through to autumn . Site One is a large flat area beside the river that is good all year round. It has fencing and gates, perfect to let dogs run free without going too far. Site 3 (Craig's flat), is a large open campsite, able to take more camper-vans/ tents with plenty of space. All sites have fire places and gas BBQ's (byo gas bottle) And there are plenty of fish for those that want to try their luck. The original home stead (built in 1876) burnt down in the 2009 black Saturday fires. There still remains many 150+ year old elms and other European trees near the toilet block, which are delightful in autumn. We have some fantastic views from the hill up and down the Murundindi Valley, especially at sunset. We're located only a few short km's from Wilhelmina Falls and Murundindi Scenic Reserve, you get the best part of the river, without the crowds. We are a short drive from Melbourne, and easy access to the townships of Yea and Yarra Glen for supplies if you need them. Amazing, abundant and rare bird life to enjoy and photograph. (see guests photos). With no light pollution this is the ideal spot for star gazing.

Site 2 (the fern glade)
The Fernglade was a great private spot down by the river with plenty of space and flat ground for tents or cars. We only ever saw people when walking to the toilet block which was also kept clean and easy to use. Michael was very easy to deal with. We would definitely stay again.

Site 1 (River side )
Bliss in the Fern Glade
We had an amazing time at the Fern Glade, site 1. The site was so spacious with perfect access to the river. The entire site was fenced in which was perfect for us because we came with our dogs. Access to the water tank was easy and though it was running low, what water we did take was chilled and beautiful. The walk to the toilet was about 4 minutes but the facility was in good condition with toilet paper, soap and a sink. We were a good distance from site 2 and 3 so we felt completely alone. I will definitely be returning.
