Natural river plain terrain with diverse ecology, lagoons and rivers on site.
Incredible central location, set back off the Snow Road in Oxley, North East Victoria. Minutes walk to Miranda Winery and King River Cafe or access the bike path linking Milawa and Oxley to Wangaratta. So much to do in the area from wineries to walking tracks, snow fields to breweries. A key feature is the irrigation keep parts of the farm and many campsites green all year round.Jackaleah is approximately 2.5 hrs north of Melbourne and only minutes drive to quality restaurants and wineries in the local area. It has view to the surrounding mountains and is well set up for family stays or larger groups attending events, or just for that weekend get away.
There is no toilet available here, campers must be self contained and leave no trace.
Pets welcome, but must remain on leash.
We camped with a large group (7 families) and had exclusive use of a paddock with out any major visibility from other campers.
Our site had power although it was located in one corner away from where we would ideally want to camp, I would recommend bringing some long high quality extension leads if power is important. (remember this is a farm not a caravan park).
While it doesn't have toilets the public toilets located at Oxley Memorial Park was about 1.5km away. We also had chemical/camp toilets there is a good quality dump site with hose at the Oxley Recreation Reserve with a $5 honesty box fee which is a 5min / 4 km drive away.
Plenty of flat land including quite close to the river bank we had 2 caravans, 1 camper van, and 4 tents in the group and everyone found a location they were happy with. We were well under the capacity the space could easily fit. Grass is 'good paddock' it isn't house lawn level smooth but doesn't look like it has had live stock through it in a long time.
Road access in/out was well maintained gravel driveway until the field itself.
The river is the absolute highlight, there is a sort of rock damn that splits your access into upper and lower sections with good depth (about 2m in some spots). Water was flowing constantly in peak summer which kept bug levels down. It is a LOT better with reef shoes to get in/out. Water was darker but quite clean. Note you do share this section with campsite across the river.

Grassy sites with river access

We had a great time at jackaleah farm. The space was a lovely grass area right next to the river. We had plenty of room for 5 large setups and still loads of space to run around. It was great to be able to cool off on a hot weekend! We were able to float around in the deep bits, float down the mini waterfall and the kids loved jumping off the log. There was a group the other side of the river but we still felt like we had loads of privacy. Firewood was provided which was great and the hosts were amazing to deal with! Site felt secluded yet really close to some to lovely cafes and pubs. We would happily go back. The stars at night around a camp fire just made the weekend.
