Private sites
100% of recent Hipcampers say the sites felt private.
Warm fires, starry skies, seclusion! Great for caravans, camper trailers, tents and more! Nestled in the valley of a 1000 hills and on the land of the Taungurung people, this little patch of hilly heaven is home to a small family of farm animals, dog and their two owners. With its rugged natural beauty, amazing sunsets and starry skies, it was hard not to want to share its beauty with others. The property is the gateway to Murrindindi, has power and water for campers, a dam if you enjoy yabbying and perfect for intimate, small groups. We offer a flat campsite and ridge top campsite. Low gear and 4wd preferable during very wet months. NOTE: Campfires subject to fire restrictions at over summer, please message. Our secluded, flat campsite is surrounded by unspoilt bushland and is home to a multitude of native Australian animals. Our ridge-top campsite also features beautiful bush, and some amazing views. With over 50 acres of rugged hilly bushland, no neighbours in sight and tracks to explore, this is the perfect place for those who enjoy a challenging bush walk, privacy and a sky to watch the stars. Campers are required to be fully self contained with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste with them on departure. Campfires are welcome but must be contained and campers must respect any restrictions in place at the time of their stay. Pets are welcome.

Perfect spot for a getaway!
We had a great time at Melissa’s property, the site was very large & with the added benefit of electricity and water, this was a huge luxury! The spot is very private and had plenty of space and options to set up camp. The site & property was also immaculately clean. The scenery around the amazing with plenty of wildlife about, saw plenty of kangaroos, kookaburras, birds and some foxes. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay at Bushy Ridge!

Great camp site with power and water. Melissa was very prompt with communication in the lead up to the booking, and the site was a gorgeous ridge that felt nice and secluded for a family catchup with a good amount of space for our 3 year old niece to explore!

I had a really beautiful stay here with our pup Freddie. It is great for dogs and the host communication was so helpful. The site also felt very private and there was a beautiful view of the sunset. The power and water were also very handy. The only thing Id mention as in early reviews is that there is some highway background noise due to the location but that didnt bother us :) Thanks again for having us

The perfect getaway
Melissa has set up a simply beautiful area called Bushy Ridge surrounded by Gumtrees and more space than anyone could possibly need. Having power and water on this site makes camping very easy. Hearing the birds in the morning and the sound of the wind through the trees is a nice way to wake up. We found the site perfect for tenting and should be noted ground rocky in parts so suitable tent pegs a must. We used Apple Maps and found the site without any issues using link supplied. The communication from Melissa is at an elite level and everything you need is supplied. We also stumbled on an amazing coffee shop 6km from the site towards Flowerdale. If you are after a morning coffee and pastry it is a must visit. See photos. We loved our time at Bushy Ridge and could have stayed much longer than 4 days. Our German Shepherd was in his element with the amount of space. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway that feels as though you are in the hills with the convenience of power and water this is it
