Gooseberry Hill is a flat safe paddock area that was once home to dozens of gold miners in canvas tents seeking their luck. It is ideal for campervans and caravans. Situated just on the outskirts of Dunolly, it is very close to town amenities. There is tap water on the site near the 150 year old apple tree near the main road. You are able to camp privately well back from the road. The site once had brick buildings of shopkeepers and even a hospital - all now long gone. The double story hotel built in 1862 as a Cobb & Co coach hotel for the Gooseberry Hill gold miners, is the only building still standing. The land had a vineyard at one time, and still has a small olive grove and quince trees. It was used in the 1870's as a sporting ground with events such as brass bands, Lantern Parades and even a formal Ball in the adjoining Cobb & Co Hotel. It was a wild and rough time in the gold mining days with a double murder at the butchers shop on the site. There was also a Chinese Camp nearby, as well as gambling dens. All the trees were removed in the 1860's for mining, but now vegetation is being restored. At the rear of the property is the quarry and old diggings. it is an interesting walk but beware of old mining shafts and deep diggings. In summer time watch out for snakes. Kangaroos, wallabies and echidnas are all around the property.

My property is just under 4 acres, with a dam and a small orchard area. It's a small piece of paradise just 7km out of Beaufort, and conveniently situated between the Western Highway and the Sunraysia Highway. The campsite is located at the far end of the property, and borders the Waterloo Bushland Reserve and Reservoir, with plenty of options for bushwalking. Waterloo was formerly an old gold mining town and now attracts gold detectors. The property is on a slight rise and the views over the farmland and beyond are beautiful. It is an ideal spot for people passing through to pull up for the night, or spend a day or two relaxing in peaceful country. Campers need to be fully self-contained. I do however have drinking water available. You are welcome to have a campfire weather permitting. Kangaroos come down in the evening to feed, and I also have several sheep on the property, so whilst I allow pets, they must be kept under control. Beaufort is a short drive away, where you'll find essentials including a supermarket, chemist, cafes, op shops and hotels. The house is only minutes from the campsite but your privacy is assured and I am certainly available to assist you if needed.

$54/night for 2 people. Remote farm at the end of a road, no neighbours, and spectacular views of the Grampians (Gariwerd) that is most stunning in the morning as the sun hits Mt William. One camp site (one group only). The site accepts 8 people but if you are just two people you will have the place to yourselves except for the kangaroos, wallabies, emus, echidnas and birdlife. The campsite is situated next to our family's holiday farmhouse that we visit sometimes, but only when there are no guest campers. There is a fire pit with grill plates available to cook over the fire (note open fires cannot occur when fire restrictions are in place). Campers have access to the flush toilet, hot shower and kitchen in the house. The house is a work in progress. We are slowly renovating the house, so it is a bit rough but it is clean and functional and you will have the place to yourselves. Please respect the locked private areas of the house. Campers are expected to bring their own cooking pots, plates, cutlery, camp chairs, etc. Only 4 km from Moyston where you can get great coffee and visit the historic Mine Walk. Halls Gap is 35km away or head through the mountains over Redmans Road that takes you the scenic route to Halls Gap (2WD accessible in dry weather). Kalymna Falls and picnic ground is a beautiful 15 min bush drive from the farm. If you like homemade jams, chutneys, ice cream and fudge, drop in and see Anita and Andy at Five Ducks Farm near Pomonal (https://fiveducksfarm.com.au/)

Ideal basecamp position for both northern and southern Grampians access. We have a camper trailer and the campsites are relatively flat with no bumps and saw no ants. Absolute bonus on a Hipcamp site to have access to hot water for showers and a toilet.

Amazing campsites next to the little river. The sites are far apart, and especially Island Bend is a very private spot. We enjoyed the cool water in the river on the hot days. So many birds, and large trees, really love this place.

As we drove onto the property, I instantly felt like I could breathe — it was absolutely beautiful. We stayed at the Creek Flat site, which was perfect for a quiet and relaxing getaway. The host was very friendly and happily answered all our questions, which made the stay even easier. The property is large, with plenty of wildlife and farm animals wandering around, adding to the charm. We only stayed for two nights but truly wished we could have stayed longer.

Our second stay at this amazing property. Many sites to choose from, our favourite is the wetlands. Trudy and James are so hospitable and extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife on their property. Private, peaceful, great walks, wild life and fantastic hosts. We’ve stayed at many amazing hip camps, this one is by far my favourite. Cannot wait to visit again.

Weekend Trip to Amherst Farm Camp SIte
We had a great time camping at Amherst Farm. We had the site to ourselves, in a paddock looking out to the State Forest. There was ample space and our dog loved running around. We hired the metal detector for the day which was a bit of fun too. Beautiful spot and Wendy is super welcoming and lovely.

Stunning, peaceful spot - perfect for a camping getaway. The campfire was nice, and the flat grounds made pitching our tent super easy. Being so close to the Loddon River was ideal for our fishing. Beautiful views all around - lots of ground for our dog to run around.

Really enjoyed our weekend at Sandy Flat, Rodborough Vale, Mark is a great host and went out of way to meet us just after arrival and let us know a little bit about his property and the surrounding area. Clear directions and the site area was clean and tidy. We would highly recommend Rodborough Vale.

The best campsites in Kara Kara National Park, VIC guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure through Kara Kara National Park, a treasure trove of Box-Ironbark vegetation and a sanctuary for native wildlife. Traverse the park's diverse trails on foot, mountain bike, or by four-wheel drive, and witness the vibrant birdlife that adorns the canopy. As dusk falls, settle in at one of the serene campgrounds, where the sounds of the bush become your lullaby.

Notable campgrounds

  • The Upper Teddington Reservoir offers a tranquil camping experience amid towering eucalypts and abundant birdlife.
  • Teddington Campgrounds provide a rustic escape, complete with facilities and the historic Teddington Hut nearby.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early to secure your spot at the popular Upper Teddington Reservoir, especially during peak seasons.
  • Visit mid-week for a better chance at snagging a campsite, as weekends tend to fill up quickly.
  • Keep an eye on the park's official website for updates on campsite availability and potential cancellations.
  • Explore nearby camping options if your preferred site is booked, as the surrounding area offers additional choices.

When to go

The best time to visit Kara Kara National Park is during spring, when wildflowers burst into colour and the weather is mild. Summer brings heat and requires caution due to fire danger, while autumn and winter offer cooler, yet equally enchanting, opportunities for exploration.

Know before you go

  • Check fire danger forecasts before your visit, as the park may close on days of Catastrophic Fire Danger.
  • Be prepared for no mobile reception in the campground areas, ensuring you have all necessary information beforehand.
  • Accessibility facilities are available, making the park's wonders open to all adventurers.
  • Remember to bring your own drinking water and firewood, as these are not provided at the campgrounds.
  • Respect the park's wildlife by keeping a safe distance and not feeding the animals.
