Mountain Flower Farm site 2

Kinglake makes a good location to leave the camper and drive into Melbourne unencumbered. Fowes Family Flower Farm is surrounded by tall trees and is dotted with flowering Protea bushes. Green grass on our site. Very quiet. Ground slopes slightly but nothing the usual camper levelling ramps can't handle. Host was very helpful. Recommended.

Mountain Flower Farm, Site 1

Excellent sites and access to forest walks. Farm animal feeding would be great for kids.

Off Grid Mountain Swimming Hole

Off-grid peaceful bliss

The off-grid Mountain Swimming Hole is a beautiful and expansive place, very quiet and feels like a world away while being minutes from Kinglake town centre. We felt very privileged to be the first to stay, pitching the first tent, laying and lighting the very first camp fire, and toasting the first marshmallows. Tamara was a wonderful host, inviting us to watch her sheep being sheared, bringing us a shovel and bricks with which to build our fire pit, and providing us with plenty of info on the local area. It was so nice to have so much space to ourselves.

Farm flowers and spring - site 4

Lovely bush camp

Loved this camp site. Our 23’3 caravan fit with no issues kids (7-13 years old) loved catching tadpoles (catch & release). Campfires were a hit (scavenged for fire wood on the ground). Nice walks around the property (careful of snakes). Found animal bones which my kids thought were epic. Short stroll (or drive) into town - loved the pizza. Dump points about 30 minutes away (Yea & Healesville). Some road noise, but not an issue. Tamara was friendly and helpful on what to do/see in the area (eg. Whittlesea Monday markets).

Mountain Flower Farm, Site 1

Fabulous place to relax

I really enjoyed this particular Hipcamp. Tamara is a great host, stopping by each day for a quick checkup and chat, to make sure we were happy. The property itself is fantastic, with an eastern view over the forest behind, sheep munching on grass in front of you (say hi to Oreo the Ram!) and incredible birdsong to wake you up in the morning. Very glad we paid extra for the firewood - the sites have fire pits ready to use, so it was great being able to stroll over the the woodpile and grab what we needed for a cozy evening around the flames. The property is only a couple minutes' drive from the Kinglake township or, as we discovered, a relaxing 15 minute walk. Made it that much nicer being able to stroll up to the pub for a couple drinks and a nice meal, without worrying about having to drive back to camp. We'll definitely be coming back!
