The gully is surrounded by boulders where echidnas like to hide. The kangaroos linger in the grassy wooded areas. There are animal trails all around the land and they are the paths you should follow. If you're a hike in camper you'll walk down the gully and cross over the small creek and head to the back of the land. You will arrive at your campsite, a nice flat area, that has beautiful views of the entire valley. If you are camping you need to arrive well before sunset. Please allow 15-30 mins to walk to campsite 1. That allows enough time and avoids the dangers of walking in the dark (wombat holes).

May-September fires are allowed subject to weather conditions. There is extreme bushfire risk and no fires are allowed October-April.

Our land is beautiful and we love it for the granite boulders and the gully with the trickling stream. Views of the valley are spectacular.

Further afield Euroa is 30 mins drive away and has a great pub called the Seven Creeks Hotel. It has a lovely beer garden and the food is delicious. Avenel is 30 mins drive away and has an excellent wood fired pizza place called Bank Street Pizza. Gooram Falls is a beautiful natural water hole. Really worth a visit and a swim if it's hot and taking in the vista if it's cold.

Mountainous glamping in Yarra Valley guide

Overview

Fanning out around Victoria’s Yarra River, the Yarra Valley is a fertile region that’s renowned for its cool-climate wines, foodie experiences, rolling countryside, and mountainous parks, all close to Melbourne city. The main towns in the Yarra Valley are Coldstream, Yarra Glen, Healesville, and Warburton. Campers can enjoy a range of options, from basic tent sites surrounded by bush to glamping, cabins, and well-equipped holiday parks. The Yarra Ranges National Park is full of rainforest and is a snowy playground in winter, and there are other parks and reserves throughout the Yarra Valley area. The Yarra Valley area tends to experience four distinct seasons, with attractive autumns, hot summers, and cold winters.

Where to go

Healesville

A main Yarra Valley town, Healesville is a hub of food and drink (largely wine!) and a handy base for campers who want to enjoy the restaurants or prepare their own gourmet meals around the campfire. The town is equipped with holiday parks with good facilities and different camping options to suit various budgets. Healesville is a short distance from the Maroondah Reservoir, where there are picnic spots and scenic walks.

Yarra Ranges National Park

The forested Yarra Ranges National Park spreads out around the Yarra Valley towns of Marysville, Healesville, and Warburton. The trees and vegetation here are especially impressive, and are a lovely environment for short walks and hikes. There are campsites throughout this national park but some of these have undergone repairs after storms; if they’re unavailable, there are nearby campsites and holiday parks elsewhere in the Yarra Valley, including Healesville and at other national and regional parks.

Kinglake National Park

A popular spot among hikers, mountain bikers, and campers, the Kinglake National Park is on the slopes of the Great Dividing Range and is easily accessible from the Yarra Valley. Keen and casual bird watchers alike will also enjoy looking out for the colourful bird life in this park, and the tall Masons Falls are especially impressive after rain. The small campsite within the park has space for tents, caravans, and camper vans, and is surrounded by shady eucalyptus trees.

Dandenong Ranges National Park

The Dandenong Ranges are often referred to at the same time as the Yarra Valley, as many day or overnight trippers from Melbourne visit both areas. The cool rainforested mountains are dotted with waterfalls, making this an ideal destination for hiking and picnicking, as well as camping. Campers can find everything from basic tent sites to luxurious cabins in the Dandenong Ranges, and it’s all very accessible from Melbourne.
