We stayed at creekside camping recently and really enjoyed the peaceful setting. The site overlooks a dry creek bed with beautiful gum trees and lots of birdlife. There’s a small pond right at the campsite that attracted birds and other wildlife, which was lovely to watch throughout the day.
The campsite is well set up with hot and cold running water, a kitchen sink, BBQ, fire pits, and solar lighting. We had 4 power outlets allowing. The bathroom was comfortable, with good hot showers and a proper toilet, which made the stay more convenient without losing the bush feel. Paul, the host, was easy to deal with — responsive to booking messages and quick to answer any follow-up questions we had by text.
Our dog also really enjoyed the stay — plenty of space to explore and sniff around.
This was our second time here, and out of all our stays on Hipcamp, creekside camping is our favourite so far.
It’s a quiet spot, but still close to nearby towns — about 20 minutes from Horsham, with the Dooen pub and Murtoa less than 10 minutes away. Handy if you need supplies or feel like a pub meal.
A good option if you’re after a low-key bush stay with comfort.
