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 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 & rare bird life to enjoy and photograph.

Site 1 (River side )
5 Star River Spot
Site 1 - Beautiful open and flat ground that is gated, comes with a nice firepit and BBQ stove. Water is easily accessible and the river has to be the highlight of this camp ground. Shallow and pebbled for big family fun. The toilet is quite far away as it is all the way over at Site 3. We had to drive there and the road is wide enough for one car in or out only. It was a nice walk the first time but not more than that. Overall it's an awesome ground away from the main roads, surrounded by trees but with an open sky and it is very well maintained by Michael.

Site 2 (the fern glade)
Great little private campsite on the river. Perfect for going for a dip and plenty of shade. Have been back to this camp a number of times 👌 flushing toilet is always a luxury.

Craigs Flat - Site 3
Great camping experience
Site 3 was grassy, spacious and closest to the toilet (less than 5 min walk). It was right by the creek which was a nice swim! The property also has some walks, but I didn’t get to try. It’s a nice 15 min drive to Yea where you can go to the pub for a nice meal. Michael was a lovely host and I would come back again.
