Best in Victoria: Finalist
Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.
We are conveniently located just off the M1, only a 90 minute drive from Melbourne CDB. We offer the perfect place to escape from the rat-race to recharge your batteries. Choose any spot to set up camp but our favourite is next to the beautiful lake-like dam. Guests are required to be self sufficient with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. It's only 2km to Trafalgar town centre and 5 KM to Moe. We are pet friendly but please ensure your pet does not bother other campers or local wildlife. Contained campfires are permitted when there are no restrictions in place. Can't beat the view, isn't that all campers needed? Ultra friendly home, happy to provide a welcome coffee (professional barista quality) to each camper.

Site 12 Big flat fun
Not private but great views
Overall we had a lovely experience, however we were very aware of the road noise from the M3 and VLine at the bottom of the hill. If that’s not going to bother you, then it’s a nice camp space for a night.

Site 5 Camping under big tree
Huge potential but missed the mark
This Hipcamp has the potential to be great but there is just too much going on. It was very busy while we were there and we could see other campsites or big power poles in every direction that we looked. Not what I imagine when I book a Hipcamp. Our kids (ages 3 and 5) pointed out a lady doing a bush wee behind her car but in plain view of our site. We could also see full nudity and hear music all night from what we are guessing was a bucks party at another site in clear view of our site. We had 3 sites within a 15 metre radius from us. I asked specifically prior to booking if we chose the shady site could we park our van away from the gum tree so that we weren’t at risk of falling branches. The host said that we could. Unfortunately, the grass is mowed only where they want you to set up camp so you are surrounded by knee high grass. We had to park underneath the gum tree which had plenty of dead branches that we could see. Risky for snakes with pets or young children too. The dam was fun for cooling off. There were a couple of row boats for everyone to use. There was recreational shooting happening on the property one night and shooting going on beside the dam while kids were swimming at one point approx 20m away. I brought up my concerns with the owner who assured me that his neighbour was a very accurate shot so we were safe. It was actually a camper doing the shooting. Overall, great potential, expensive, too many sites, good communication, felt unsafe. Not for me.

Site 1 Water site
The property was nice and site 1 would be the pick. The water quality in the dam isn't very good - aglae. Not sure what can be done, perhaps yabbies or fish. It was really windy, my new gazebo broke, my toilet tent blew flat and my bbq blew off the table multiple times and ended up cookingon the ground. I know there's nothing that the owners can do to fix that but it didn't make for a good experience. When the property is full, it's too full, like a caravan park. Not what I think of when I think HipCamp.

Site 2 Water view
Nice area, did a bux party there with 12 blokes and wrapped it up around 12. Plenty enough room to keep to ourselves and not upset anyone else. Would recommend thanks Steven!
