Neil is a Star Host

Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.

Here, you'll find 25 acres with water frontage, overlooking the Belfast Lough. The Block is just 300 metres off the highway and has all-weather road access, so it's ideal for an overnight pit stop or to park up for a few days and enjoy the region. From camp, you'll have views of Port fairy and Tower hill. There is a golf course and airstrip on the opposite side of the Belfast Lough. And it's just two minutes drive from Port Fairy, and 15 minutes from Warrnambool. Electricity is available if needed, and we do have bore water (unsuitable for drinking). The Belfast Lough is fed by the Moyne River, which passes through Port Fairy. It's a great spot for recreational fishing, with black bream, sea mullet, estuary perch, mulloway, whiting, barracouta, snapper and Australian salmon. The estuarine salt marshes provide important feeding areas for many migratory bird species and the endangered Orange-bellied parrot - so it's also a great spot for bird watchers!The area offered for camping enjoys water frontage, overlooking the vast Belfast Lough. There are options for kayaking, windsurfing, fishing and there's a golf course close by. You'll have plenty of space to spread out, it's a large open grass area that is level. Good access for all types of set ups. There is electricity and bore water available (not suitable for drinking though). Just two minutes from Port Fairy. Tower Hill, Koroit and Warrnambool are all within a short drive, as is the Port Fairy rail trail. Please note: We do not offer facilities here, so you'll need to be self-contained, with your own camp toilet, and please take all waste with you when you leave. Pets welcome.

Belfast Lough offers a peaceful and scenic camping experience just a few minutes from Port Fairy. Campers appreciate the flat, grassy spaces and the views of the lake and countryside. Host Neil is praised for his welcoming nature and helpful recommendations about local attractions. However, some reviews mention issues with power outages and windy conditions, which campers might want to consider when planning their stay.

Unfortunately we were only at the site (which was a lovely piece of land) for all of an hour before the weather proved too much. However Neil went out of his way to get in contact, attempt to help, and even went out of his way to process a refund when he didn’t have to. All efforts were much appreciated and we have every intention of returning in future

Great hassle free camping

19 ft Class A

Belfast Louth was a great location. Site was very level and grassed, so great place to set up the van. We explored Tower Hill, Koroit and Port Fairy as all close by. Great views of the lake on the Moyne river, and country side around Port Fairy. We would recommend if looking for a great place to stay while in the Port Fairy area. We would use it as a base for that area in the future. Thanks Neil for allowing us the pleasure to stay there

A great little spot if you’d like to be within a couple of minutes to Port Fairy! Neil was great to communicate with and very welcoming (even took us on a quick tour of the town)…super helpful! The block is easily accessed and very level! Thanks for having us!

We loved our two night stay @ Belfast Lough. Neil was very helpful and communicated well with us re: directions and whether we could check in early. We were the only ones at the campsite which made it extra special. The location was great and the paddock was mowed that morning. Only a short drive to Port Fairy and 15 minutes to Warrnambool.

Lovely spot, kids loved the cows. Even with a bit of rain the ground stayed nice and hard and not muddy. Great getaway spot for a couple of days.

Great spot for a caravan.

Great location. Flat and grassy under foot. It is windy but picturesque. Neil came past and was very inviting and so were the cows. Before getting to site Neil had already sent us things to do around the area.

Beautiful spot, amazing location! Lovely flat green grass surrounded by stunning views and cows. Super close to town and walking trails. Thanks to our host Neil for recommending the Tower Hill walk too - the kids loved it and we saw all sorts of amazing wildlife. Would love to visit again soon!

We loved camping at Belfast Lough. The site was very flat and well maintained. The cows in the next paddock were interesting and there was other wildlife. It was close enough to Port Fairy but far enough away to be outside of the hustle and bustle of the Festival weekend. A bit windy but a well placed caravan dealt with that.

The land is gorgeous - overlooking the water. My partner, Duke, and I stayed in our rooftop tent with our three dogs and cat ("the boys"). The boys loved running around in the large, freshly cut, space. The fences made Duke and I feel confident that they were safe. Such a gorgeous sunrise, and sunset. We were greeted by some very friendly cows in the morning, and the boys made their first farm friends. Apart from the brilliant location, Neil was a wonderful host. He told us about a hidden gem (I'll let him tell you that secret when you stay there). It was a wonderful chat. I would highly recommend this stay - felt homely, safe and peaceful. Neil, thank you for having us, and for your hospitality. Hope to see you again soon!

Excellent location

16 ft travel trailer · With pets

Camped here for 4 days and loved it. Not a bad spot to hang out at camp, but it is a great spot for quick and easy access to the beaches and tourist attractions around Port Fairy for day tripping. Neil is a fantastic host with a very laid back attitude and accomodating style. Close to the A1 but traffic dies down at night and you can hear the surf. Nice and level grassy parcel that is well maintained. Great for caravans, camper trailers, and tents.

It was a last minute booking and good to have power and water. However the power failed in the evening and that meant the water pump failed also and didn’t come on again before we left the next day. There was no communication or meet and greet as expected so with no phone signal we weren’t sure which house to approach for the electricity problem The site was a neat mown field with friendly calves for neighbours, and a path to the lough. Tried fishing but the water was very shallow but good bird life on the water.

Great spot right near Belfast Lough, beautiful sunsets and a convenient location. It was nice to be close to Port Fairy and not too far away from Warrnambool either, but to be then able to come back to the peace and quiet of the block. Neil was a great host and very helpful, had some very good suggestions on things to see in the local area.

Perfectly peaceful paddock!

29 ft travel trailer · With kids

This place is a diamond hideaway, a few minutes drive from Port Fairy! A very neatly mowed, flat field with electrical hook up. Gorgeous views over the water and cows in the next field that come and say hi! The perfect opposite to town caravan sites, very spacious and peaceful. One of our nights we were the only ones there! Neil popped down to say hi, lovely guy, happy to help with local sightseeing ideas. Thoroughly recommend this site!!

Idyllic spot! Lakeside view, bleak mooing sounds of cows, herding sheeps, cool breeze from the lake and chirping birds brings the serenity which is seeking of caravans parking seeker. Neil made sure to drop by and say Hello introduced lovely property (with the history and stories to add). He has kept it clean and nicely mowed pathway to lakeside. We stayed 3 days and was lovely to see campervans, caravans, motorhomes drop by to enjoy the beauty, rest, revive and continue the journey…
