Our property is surrounded by the Otways forest and native Australian bush. Under 2 hours from Melbourne, and only 10-15minutes drive from the Otway Harvest Trail.  Find a spot to park your van, tent, camper trailer or caravan on our beautiful natural piece of secluded bush, and you won't see or hear another soul. You may spot lots of birds and wildlife, or enjoy the beautiful view from the road.  Please note: this is a spot for people such as hikers who appreciate nature and understand the concept of ‘leave no trace’. It’s not for parties or big groups. There are limited facilities (there is a basic composting toilet to use on site, but it’s not suitable as a caravan dump point) so you need to be totally self-sufficient and take all your waste and rubbish with you. BYO water. We are happy to accommodate up to 8 ppl, but please take everything with you, and leave our beautiful wilderness spot exactly as you left it, don't destroy the native vegetation and don't feed the wildlife.  Fires only in the fire-pit please and must be totally extinguished (with water, so bring extra) before you leave, and not on fire ban days. You must BYO firewood and take all your rubbish away with you. Extra charges will apply for any rubbish, food scraps etc left on site.

Charges will apply for any rubbish, dog waste, food scraps, etc left on site. We are happy to offer free cancellation if your booking happens to fall on an extreme fire day and we don’t deem it safe to be in the bush. Otherwise, we offer free cancellation up to 7 days before your booking but not after that, to be fair to others who may want to book the site. We can’t offer free cancellation due to inclement weather, it’s the great outdoors after all! So please consider this when booking. We have no problem accessing the site in a 2WD but the last part of road is a bit rocky so just have your wits about you, and possibly the site isn’t suitable for huge rigs or super fancy cars! It’s also not suitable for big motorhomes or long caravans as it can be tricky to get them onto the site due to the narrow road, and parts of the site can get a bit boggy after rain. It’s a true bush camp, suitable for those who enjoy the serenity of kookaburras and the wind in the trees. Enjoy!

Really enjoyed our weekend at this campsite. It’s very secluded and private which is lovely. Surrounded by native bush and lots of birds to keep you company. Having the shelter and picnic table was cool and the composting toilet is great. If you are using Wayz it’ll get you lost at the end, Google Maps knows where the campsite is and the gate has the address clearly shown so don’t be fooled by any earlier gates you come across.

Super private and secluded spot that's evidently looked after and includes a toilet and views both across deep bush and open fields. I'll be back.

We had a fabulous time at this campsite. Beautiful secluded spot with the added bonus of big picnic table, fire pit and compost toilet. We loved how peaceful and quiet it was but also close to a paddock of sheep who were fun company. Composting toilet was well maintained, so relatively clean and didn’t smell. Lloyd was very easy to communicate with and prompt to reply to messages. Would definitely stay again.
