Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

Welcome to Somerville Park, a 500 acre sheep farm at Fosterville. There are a variety of beautiful campsites suitable for self-contained guests who have their own toilet/shower facilities and drinking water. Fires are permitted out of fire restriction times and feel free to bring your furry friends, making sure they're leashed at all times. The farm is completely surrounded by the Wellsford state forest which offers bush walking and many tracks for bike riding. Mt Sugarloaf which is situated south of the property provides a great hike. Spectacular sunrises and sunsets create beautiful reflections on the water in the numerous dams on the property. Rainfall can restrict access to sites on the property. The city of Bendigo is 25mins drive. Epsom is a 15min drive where you will find a shopping centre which includes a petrol station, Woollies, Pizza, Chemist Warehouse, Aldi, Brumbys Bakery, Reject Shop, Fish and Chips and BWS. Lake Eppalock is a 25min drive where you can engage in water sport activities. The Campaspe River is 10mins away. The farm is very quiet and restful with the sounds of abundant native bird life and provides great subjects and scenery for the photographic enthusiast.

Although it was very hot and dry being March when we stayed there ,Sheryl did everything possible to ensure we had the best spot for the conditions. The whole family was so welcoming. The price and location near Bendigo made this the ideal spot for us to camp up for 4 nights.

Quiet, private, friendly host
Overall we had a really nice stay, it was just a shame that we couldn’t go swimming due to leeches in the dam. However it was a quiet property, private, friendly and helpful hosts. Nice and flat too for first time caravaners!

We always love staying there. Great to see little improvements such as safer access from a busy road and defined sites- makes it feel like your own little piece of the farm! Huge amount of space between sites - being it’s over 500 hectares!
