Warm fires, starry skies, seclusion! Great for caravans, camper trailers, tents and more! Nestled in the valley of a 1000 hills and on the land of the Taungurung people, this little patch of hilly heaven is home to a small family of farm animals, dog and their two owners. With its rugged natural beauty, amazing sunsets and starry skies, it was hard not to want to share its beauty with others. The property is the gateway to Murrindindi, has power and water for campers, a dam if you enjoy yabbying and perfect for intimate, small groups. We offer a flat campsite and ridge top campsite. Low gear and 4wd preferable during very wet months. NOTE: Campfires subject to fire restrictions at over summer, please message. Our secluded, flat campsite is surrounded by unspoilt bushland and is home to a multitude of native Australian animals. Our ridge-top campsite also features beautiful bush, and some amazing views. With over 50 acres of rugged hilly bushland, no neighbours in sight and tracks to explore, this is the perfect place for those who enjoy a challenging bush walk, privacy and a sky to watch the stars. Campers are required to be fully self contained with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste with them on departure. Campfires are welcome but must be contained and campers must respect any restrictions in place at the time of their stay. Pets are welcome.

Beautiful and tranquil place to camp. My kids and I had a great time around the fire and we particularly enjoyed feeding the Alpacas and goats. Definitely do it again some time in the future.

We loved the camping here. Beautiful landscape. The girls loved the yabing and the walks. The dogs had great fun too. The place was well kept and with plenty of space. The directions were clear and the hosts were very helpful. Will definitely go back!!

Coach Murri
We had a great time staying in Coach Murri over a very cold, wet and rainy Easter long weekend. Melissa had sent very clear directions that were easy to follow and had the heater going so the bus was lovely and toasty for our arrival. The main thing that I loved about it was the lack of crowds usually associated with Easter getaways - we walked around and found the other campsite and even if people had been there I don’t think we would have heard or seen them. The bus was exactly as pictured and all the essentials were provided - it gave us a taste of tiny house living. The shower water was lovely and hot, bedding warm and comfortable (although we didn’t utilise the bunks) and in the cupboards we found board games to entertain us when the rain didn’t permit explorations. We headed to the Flowerdale Hotel for dinner one night, and Sedona Estate winery as recommended by Melissa. Had an EXCEPTIONAL experience at the winery and will definitely be buying their wines again. Telstra mobile reception is very limited (which can be a plus) and we got to enjoy the fire pit in the evenings when the weather cleared. Thanks for a lovely experience.

Peace & amenities
Bushy Ridge is the best of the best. The hosts have done such an incredible job of maintaining the site. The ease of access, seclusion, and amenities like power and water make it one of our absolute favourite places to be. Thank you for having us!

Peaceful & Easy
This is one of the best Hipcamps we’ve come across, and we’ve returned multiple times. Melissa is an incredible host, the site is clean and easy to access with all the amenities you need for a reasonable price. It’s beautiful and secluded but a quick drive into town if needed. We’ve really come to love the area and jogging/walking on nearby trails. Cannot recommend this listing highly enough!

We loved staying at Bushy Ridge. The place was very clean and private with lovely views. The camping area is grassed and not dusty gravel. Feeling isolated but having power and water was amazing. Communication and directions given from host were great, would recommend Bushy Ridge.

Thanks Melissa!
Great hosts and a great site to sit, relax and surround yourself with some beautiful aussie bush for a few days. Having water and power is a big plus along with not being that far from Melbourne. If your looking for a quick getaway and you from that part of the world I would definately recommend this Hipcamp and we will happily visit there again in the future.

Our Bushy Ridge Experience
We loved Bushy Ridge and would really recommend it as somewhere to go to get away from it all. The site conveniently has power and water as well as a fire pit with wood available by request. The hosts were really helpful but left us alone to enjoy the space. We would have loved to have stayed longer but unfortunately inclement weather forced us to leave. We hope to return sometime in the future. Thanks Melissa.

Such a lovely place to camp. Really blissful. Awesome to have water and electricity. Really private and dog friendly. There were some dogs we could hear from neighbouring properties barking a bit so if this would trigger your dog, perhaps not the best location. Otherwise would highly recommend! And visiting Yea and the nearby Cheviot tunnel is also great if you have time.

Second stay at Stumpy Tail Ridge, as enjoyable as the first. Power and water the benefit for this location, a 20mt extension lead is required. Also the ground is very rocky, bring heavy duty pegs and groundsheet to protect your tent. Thank you Melissa.

Perfect!
This is such a beautiful property! We camped with 2 children and the highlights for them were feeding and visiting the animals and bushwalking. So much to explore and despite the rain, we managed to make the most of breaks in it. Definitely one of my favourite locations and having power and water are added bonuses. We will be back!

Above & beyond
This was our second time staying at bushy ridge. It was a trip for my 30th, and it was the perfect peaceful getaway. Melissa even brought me a bundle of beautiful native flowers for my birthday. Truly above and beyond what we would have anticipated. Having power and water also makes a huge difference (and affordable pricing). We will absolutely be back 🥰

Little Easter Getaway 🐶
Was a lovely secluded camping site, with lots of open space for our dogs to run around, with pretty much 360 degree views of gumtrees! Despite feeling you were secluded, you could hear highway traffic during the day and night, however did not take away from the location. Melissa was very helpful and always willing to help out and offer suggestions. Thanks again for a great stay!
