Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Located within 50 acres of bushland, just out of Hepburn Springs and Daylesford. Serenity. Experience the beautiful Australian bush, fantastic night skies and the amazing colours of the sun rising and setting. You also have the opportunity to observe local wildlife; kangaroos, kookaburras and possibly echidnas. There are many wineries, bushwalks, town markets to explore and this is well suited to mountain biking due to the proximity of the Goldfields track.The Ridge is a beautiful open campsite with views of the dam and further afield. Sit back and enjoy the sounds of the Australian bush, located on part of the Goldfields Track. Campfires permitted in designated camp firepit, (subject to official fire restrictions). Firewood available, (do not cut down any trees, there’s plenty of wood stacked or to collect from the ground). We are located 10 minutes from Daylesford & Glenlyon, Kyneton (30mins), Castlemaine, (20 mins) Newstead (20 mins). Lots of wineries etc. The property is 50 acres, mainly bush land. We do live on the property. As you drive in you can see the house, however you cannot see it from the camp site, and vice-versa. There is a public road that goes past the camp site, about 60mt to one side, it is actually part of the Goldfields Track. You can see our dam from the camp site, which you can walk to. There’s a log there for sitting on if you like. Lots of birds and birds song. Dogs are permitted, off leash if under your control, as there may be horses and people using the road nearby. Please clean up after your dog. You will need to be fully self-contained, there are no facilities such as water, toilet, bins etc. please take with you what you bring. The site can cope with 2 vans (or equivalent tents).

Lovely site
We had a lovely stay at The Ridge. Nice site, great views and very peaceful. Fire pit was terrific and plenty of fire wood provided.

The Ridge
We had a wonderful time! The site is stunning, so lovely to have a fire pit and Wendy had even neatly left out a pile of firewood and kindling for us. They met us at the entrance and showed us to the site and were so helpful and friendly. It’s a short easy drive to Daylesford and Hepburn springs. We’ll definitely be back!

The Ridge
Great spot close to Daylesford
We had a great three days staying at The Ridge. Wendy was super helpful and accomodating and the site was just wonderful. We really appreciated the firewood that was at the site on arrival. The site is secluded and really close to the township of Daylesford which was very handy. Will be back for sure!
