Daylesford Hepburn Farm Camping

4 sites · RVs, Tents130 acres · Campbelltown, VIC
Enjoy the serenity! Bring your horses and your dog, bring your guitar, a good book, even bring a golf set and a bucket of balls. You will have 80 acres of stunning country all to yourselves. Only one booking taken at a time. No one else will be anywhere near! Self-contained campers only, please bring in what you need, and take all waste with you. Base price covers up to 8 people, with capacity capped at 12 people.  The land is characterised by rolling hills, covered by mostly open grassland, with patches of gum trees for shade, and a dam and creek. There's also a native eucalypt forest right across the road with miles of fire trails for walking and horse riding. In the cooler months, the land turns from shades of gold to greens.  There are no facilities, its just you and the land (bliss!) so ensure you have everything you need with you, and take all your waste when you leave.  If you fancy fresh fish for dinner, just down the road is Tuki Trout Farm, or nearby Cairn Curran Reservoir and Tullaroop Reservoir are great for fishing. The tourist villages of Newstead, Clunes and Maldon are all a short drive away, and Daylesford is just 35km drive.  Campfires are permitted when fire bans are not in place. NOTE: We do offer the neighbouring 50-acre paddock for hunting/shooting - with conditions. Please note, this activity is offered separately to our Hipcamp operation and needs to be organised with us directly. Also, we do not allow hunting/shooting next door, if there is a group camping already.

Brenda's Place

2 sites · RVs, Tents4 acres · Ballarat, VIC
My property is just under 4 acres, with a dam and a small orchard area. It's a small piece of paradise just 7km out of Beaufort, and conveniently situated between the Western Highway and the Sunraysia Highway. The campsite is located at the far end of the property, and borders the Waterloo Bushland Reserve and Reservoir, with plenty of options for bushwalking. Waterloo was formerly an old gold mining town and now attracts gold detectors. The property is on a slight rise and the views over the farmland and beyond are beautiful. It is an ideal spot for people passing through to pull up for the night, or spend a day or two relaxing in peaceful country. Campers need to be fully self-contained. I do however have drinking water available. You are welcome to have a campfire weather permitting. Kangaroos come down in the evening to feed, and I also have several sheep on the property, so whilst I allow pets, they must be kept under control. Beaufort is a short drive away, where you'll find essentials including a supermarket, chemist, cafes, op shops and hotels. The house is only minutes from the campsite but your privacy is assured and I am certainly available to assist you if needed.

The best camping near Kara Kara National Park guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure through Kara Kara National Park, a treasure trove of Box-Ironbark vegetation and a sanctuary for native wildlife. Traverse the park's diverse trails on foot, mountain bike, or by four-wheel drive, and witness the vibrant birdlife that adorns the canopy. As dusk falls, settle in at one of the serene campgrounds, where the sounds of the bush become your lullaby.

Notable campgrounds

  • The Upper Teddington Reservoir offers a tranquil camping experience amid towering eucalypts and abundant birdlife.
  • Teddington Campgrounds provide a rustic escape, complete with facilities and the historic Teddington Hut nearby.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early to secure your spot at the popular Upper Teddington Reservoir, especially during peak seasons.
  • Visit mid-week for a better chance at snagging a campsite, as weekends tend to fill up quickly.
  • Keep an eye on the park's official website for updates on campsite availability and potential cancellations.
  • Explore nearby camping options if your preferred site is booked, as the surrounding area offers additional choices.

When to go

The best time to visit Kara Kara National Park is during spring, when wildflowers burst into colour and the weather is mild. Summer brings heat and requires caution due to fire danger, while autumn and winter offer cooler, yet equally enchanting, opportunities for exploration.

Know before you go

  • Check fire danger forecasts before your visit, as the park may close on days of Catastrophic Fire Danger.
  • Be prepared for no mobile reception in the campground areas, ensuring you have all necessary information beforehand.
  • Accessibility facilities are available, making the park's wonders open to all adventurers.
  • Remember to bring your own drinking water and firewood, as these are not provided at the campgrounds.
  • Respect the park's wildlife by keeping a safe distance and not feeding the animals.
