Only 3 large campsites! Great for family groups and friends, lots of room. Kids under 5 stay free, pet friendly. North East Vic is a tourist mecca, with food and wine, lakes and rivers, cycling and markets, mountains and waterfalls. - We are only 2 and half hours from Melbourne and 30 mins off Hume Fwy, via Wangaratta. We are a working cattle farm. You cannot pat any. Please read the whole listing, lots to tell you about. Campsites 1 is large and can accommodate two vans and 2 - 3 tents (or 14 -16 people). Campsites 2 and 3 are smaller and more suited to one van with 1 - 2 tents (or 4 - 6 people). Campsite 3 is not very flat and less well suited to tents. Ample car parking. Campsites are 110m apart with a light screen of trees in between, no crowds here. Accessed via 3.5km of rough dirt track - not recommended for low vehicles or low towing vans. The track is rough BUT easily driven by all vehicles - just drive slowly. Dogs welcome, firewood is easily gathered by you, and often in piles by your campsite. Campsites are NOT near water. They are near a dry gully, with an **** unfenced dam.**** We have a beautiful swimming hole at the property entrance, in Boggy Creek. Guests are welcome to enjoy the shaded lawn area, BBQ and pot belly fire. The creek is 3kms from the campsites. Near The Hut is the gate to take a walk up to Sugar Loaf (500m return), where you can see amazing grass trees and place a rock on the cairn. Look for the wallabies that live up there. Stay with us to get away from crowded campsites, to enjoy a quieter holiday, while being close to a great tourist district. The King Valley showcases wineries, gourmet food, eateries, restaurants, pubs, brewery, even a gin distillery. We are surrounded by creeks, rivers and lakes, with many fishing, swimming and kayaking options - all within a 30 minute drive! Take a walk to the top of Sugar Loaf, and see unique grass trees on this rocky hill, while catching sight of Mount Buffalo. 8kms to Moyhu which has a pub, coffee shop, general store - all with great food options. You can get petrol, take away, gas etc.

Thornbridge offers a peaceful and private camping experience, with spacious sites and stunning views. Many campers appreciated the clean facilities, including the well-maintained toilet and ample firewood. The hosts, Stewart and Gayle, received praise for their hospitality, although some guests were disappointed by the lack of a swimming hole during their visit. Overall, it’s a great spot for those looking to enjoy nature and relax away from the hustle and bustle.

Our stay was so very nice, such beautiful views and weather for our one night stay. The campsite is very large and private even with the other two campsites which we appreciated. Our dogs loved the space although they did get a bit dusty around the fire but it shakes off. I will mention my little car did make it on the road but a bigger car would be a lot easier and better as they mention in the description. You’d have to know how to drive on a dirt road if u wanna take a smaller car. Overall though the stay was a 10/10 and we would love to return next time we get a chance. The hosts are so lovely and keep their property very beautiful, thank u guys for the stay, updates and info it was great!

We loved camping under the stars. Being the only group for the weekend, we enjoyed the peace and quiet. Toilet was clean and we came home with our spirits. If planning on swimming though, perhaps check beforehand whether the waterhole is dry or not. Can definitely recommend this beautiful campsite and will gladly camp there again.

If you want to camp away from the crowds in a beautiful spot Thornbridge is the place to go. Large spacious sites, located a good distance away from each other, with a clean toilet at the top of the slope, with water and large sink with running water in case you need it. A 3.5 km dirt track leads you round the hill to this secluded location. We spent a very happy two nights here, cooking over the campfire and gazing up at the Milky Way. Just perfect!

Thornbridge was not a good place to camp. It was missing amenities that they advertise as being on site. And sadly Stewart and Gayle were dishonest people who seemed to think that lying about this is ok. There is no swimming hole on the property. It had dried to mud long ago. The closest water access is about about 30 minute drive from the campsite to the king river.

If you’re looking for a super private and quiet campsite in a scenic region of Victoria, this Hipcamp ticks all the boxes. Close to lakes, rivers and wineries, it was a great place to relax and recharge while still having things to do nearby — though we were very happy sitting and listening to the birds and watching the cows in the adjoining field. We loved our site under the shade of gum trees. The toilet was always clean and the ample firewood provided meant we could keep cosy at night. The 3km drive from the main entrance to the campsite is a bit bumpy and gravelly and best suited to bigger vehicles. Our hosts were also very responsive and accommodating — thanks for a great stay!

Just an absolutely beautiful location rain hail or shine! The site and property (including the loo) is all tidy and very well thought out.

A great place to camp. Quiet, isolated and super beautiful surroundings. There is 2x other sites nearby but they're far enough apart and separated by trees that your site feels private. The swimming hole near the house is a bonus on hot days and the flushing toilet close to the camp sites is amazing. Stewart and Gayle pop by everyday to say hi and make sure the fire water containers are full. Definitely going to stay here again and for longer next time.

Had a great time staying at Stewart & Gayle's property over the weekend. We had the place to ourselves which was great. Directions are clear making for an easy arrival. Rough dirt track to get in but nothing to serious and makes for part of the adventure winding over the scenic hills. Would highly recommend staying here if you are in the area.

A peaceful setting tucked away on the back of a farm, away from the busy public camp sites of King Valley. Only 20mins drive to the King Valley brewery and local wineries, it's a great option for a group to setup a private camp and relax for the weekend. A shoutout to Stewart and Gayle who were great hosts, checking on our needs each day and also greatful for the water top up when our tank got a bit low. Look forward to coming back again in the future.

The camp site was ideal (although not very flat). Lots of birds which added to the relaxing mood of my trip. Generous site spacing and well maintained toilet were wonderful features of the site. I hope to go back soon and enjoy a relaxing weekend of chilling out and enjoying nature. Plenty of firewood around which made the nightly fires easy to organise. Wonderful friendly hosts (Stewart / Gayle) - very welcoming!

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect campsite for our first camping trip since becoming a family. We camped with our 2.5yr old and 10 year old staffy. Helpful and lovely hosts, big private sites with lots of distance between sites (there was a family with 4x camper trailers next to us and we barely noticed them, and just the amenities that help make camping that much easier: the cleanest communal dunny, sink, water, ample fire wood and fire water topped up daily. We escaped the heat with a trip to the lake, river and even snuck a winery in. No problem getting to and from the site with our 2WD and trailer. It rained out last night/morning but left without issue once the rain cleared. Can't wait to make it a regular trip!

I loved camping at Stewart and Gayle’s farm. My dog and I spent every day at the swimming hole, exploring the surrounding paddocks, looking at the sweet little calves and we even spotted a wallaby on sugarloaf peak 😁 plus slipped in a day trip to Myrtleford. Highly recommend for solo, couple and group travellers.

You know when you book a holiday home and you hope it gives you a special experience? Well if that is what you are after you won't be disappointed here. It was so wonderful to stay in a place where the owners care and attention to detail stood out. Thank you for taking such pride in your service. It was fab.
