What do you do when the weekend comes around? You call your mates and go on an adventure! Pack your gear, food and esky and come to The Sticks; a 50acre bush property in the Otways. It's the perfect base for bike trails, dirt tracks and horse rides. "Main Camp" is great for larger groups (max 10 people in tents, campervan/caravan/camper trailer) and Camping with Horses (max 5 floats). "Middle Camp" is perfect for a campervan or motorhome. The Shit Shack (an outdoor compostable toilet) and camp kitchen shelter are for shared use. You need to be self-sufficient so BYO cooker, cups, plates, esky, etc. etc. Well-behaved pets on a leash are welcome to join you but should not disturb livestock. Have fun without the drugs and have a drink but don't get pissed, and be respectful of surrounding farms.

Main Camp
Lovely stay, views and animals:)
We had a lovely stay at Katja's property. The location is beautiful and peaceful. Katja and her son Noah were wonderful hosts, they showed us around and even helped us get our fire going after a day of drizzly rain. The moon rise over the tree line and sunrise were gorgeous. Even though the hosts live on the property the camping area felt quite secluded and private. Toilet, shower, and rain-water on tap made it a very comfortable stay. Not to mention the adorable horses and sheep in the adjacent paddock. Thanks for having us:)

We stayed at the sticks as two young families. We loved the quiet space without needing to worry about sharing the space with other campers/cars etc. The space was large enough for two big tents, two kitchen set ups and the kids loved playing in the sand area and chatting to the sheep over the fence. We took our dogs and they were welcomed. There was wood available, which we just needed to split, a composting loo and a hot shower in an old tank. There is drinking water and a large space for a camp fire. A 8-10 min drive to a really lovely local store in Deans Marsh with fabulous food and great coffee and supplies. (The fresh bread was delicious and the coffee hot and yum). We found a lot of local trails for running and MTB and spent some time at Lorne on the beach also. We were welcomed by the host and her son and although the shed is not available, we were offered it should the weather be concerning/emergency situation. A great space to go slow and enjoy the view, sit by the campfire.

Lovely stay
We had a great time at Katyas. It’s lovely and quiet and pretty well sheltered. There’s plenty of space and it felt private enough. The compost toilet does the job.

My family and I absolutely loved our stay at this amazing slice of paradise!! Katja and her son Noah are both incredibly kind and helpful and will assist with anything you need to help your stay be as comfortable and fun as a possible! They were fantastic with my niece and nephew and if you have brought horses along they were so accommodating and wonderful at recommending trails etc. The camp is also brilliant for mountain bike enthusiasts (amazing trails all around) and the beach is nearby for surfing/swimming etc. A really relaxing escape in the misty mountains of the Otways 😍😍 Thank you Katja and Noah!!

Top Camp
Camping on top of the Otways
Katja's place is a true gem! The Top site has an amazing view over the paddocks and the surrounding hills. Breakfast is a super chill experience overlooking the Otways and the evenings around the campfire are of a similar vibe. Our kids loved the horses and the sheep. Katja is very forthcoming host and has an abundance of local knowledge. She was very helpful whenever we had a question.

Perfect forest-near-ocean camping
The sticks is perfect for family and doggy camping - and close to the ocean! Katja and her son do a wonderful and generous job of making space for people. Would love to return some day.
