Kielock Homestead is a unique farm stay experience located centrally in the beautiful Kiewa Valley Victoria where you can camp right on the bank of the Kiewa River. Some of the activities available include fishing, swimming, bush walking, bird and animal watching and bike riding. If you choose you can join in on farm activities such as feeding the animals, collecting eggs and planting/harvesting fruit and vegetables. We have a small market garden available where you can pick and purchase seasonal fresh produce, alternatively vegetable boxes and eggs are available by arrangement and delivered right to your campsite. Within the 200 acres of the property you will find it is home to many animals including kangaroos wombats platypus possums, bats and many bird and marine species. The main fish in the river are trout and cod so if you would like to try your luck fishing this is the place for you.Some of the surrounding towns include Mt Beauty (20 mins), Yackandandah (30 mins), Bright (50 mins), Beechworth (50 mins) Falls Creek (60 mins) with the border towns of Albury and Wodonga only 50 mins away. These beautiful towns contain an array of boutique wineries, craft breweries, bakeries and cafes, or you can choose to follow a farm gate food trail. The area also provides opportunities to go horse-riding, bike riding on one of the many rail trails or be adventurous on the mountain bike tracks at Falls Creek in the warmer months with snow sports in winter. The surrounding mountain ranges offer numerous famous 4wd trails or you might like to try your hand at panning for gold. This is a working farm and our animals are our family. They are very friendly but only know us and not you so please do not enter their homes without us, but feel free to talk to them over the gates. Be aware that all fences are electric and are switched on at all times. There is a dedicated communal campfire area for use when fire restrictions permit and we request that no additional fire pits are created during your stay. As this is a working property we are unable to accommodate your pets. For biosecurity reasons there is a strict No Pet policy. We look forward to greeting you upon arrival and showing you to your campsite.

This hip camp is my favourite so far. The property is amazing and the camping area is peaceful and beautiful. The Hosts Charles and Cass make you feel like family. There is chicken feeding and heaps of livestock to see. An amazing place for kids. We will definitely be back. Thanks Charles for the amazing time

Autumn camping in the Cottonwood

We loved camping on Charles land on the Kiewa River. The location is picturesque. Camped next to a clear, shallow river, under the gorgeous autumn toned Cottonwood trees. Cows graving in the paddocks nearby and hills as a back drop. Our camp centres around our 4x4 Isuzu, so we are grounded once fully set-up., but there are some lovely walks nearby. Charles is very helpful and loves his animals and property. He is therefore strict around ..leaving it how you found it. We had great company while there and the communal camp fire area, made for good conversation . A lovely relaxing few days spent in nature.

I loved staying at Charles camp site, Charles and his partner are so welcoming it felt like I came by visiting family. Camp site was very clean, best views and we couldn’t ask for anything more.

Peppermint Grove

Wonderful camping spot. Really secluded and peaceful. Probably most ideal for the single camper to be close to the river although there is a lovely grassy spot a little away if you had a larger group, with the fire close to the river to gather. Can’t wait to go back. And don’t forget to buy some of Cass’s home made produce. Yum!
