Site 2 - Mt Hope Vineyard - Dixons Creek
I was advised that due to excessive rain my booking had to be cancelled. I am very new to hipcamp and did not realise that I had to go into my booking and do the actual cancellation. More information about the process would have been appreciated.

Poor communication beware the bin d
Nice spot. Poor communication with host. 30 minute prior to arrival we were warned we might not be able to canp due to site flooding. We were visited my the farms friendly dog but when we left the canpsite the dog ripped our canvas bin bag apart and tossed rubbish across the vineyard. When we attempted to contact the host we got silence no reply.

The spot is good, plenty of privacy. Beautiful view. We were lucky to have a sunny weekend, so all were perfect. If it rains though, it could be a bit messy.

We really enjoyed our stay at Sandra and Tony’s property. The spot was lovely right next to the vines and a good amount of space for the little ones to run around. Highly recommend and thank you for having us !!

Stunning
It is a beautiful yet convenient site just a short drive from Melbourne.
Pros
- Stunning: nestled in the middle of working vineyards, gorgeous sunsets, rolling hills
- Location: 40 min drive from NE Melbourne, but far enough away to feel like you're still camping. Right next door to some great wineries. 10-min drive to Yarra Glen, 15-min drive to Healesville
- Privacy: One other site, but they were far enough away not to bother us
Cons
- Sloped site
- In a valley. If you're tent camping, there can be a decent amount of condensation even with a very ventilated tent with the windows open
- Close enough to a somewhat busy road to hear traffic
Neutral
- No water on site, but you're close enough to a lot of areas to stock up
