We had an amazing time at John's place! He was very accommodating and was great to have a yarn with. We will definitely stay there again when we are next in the area.
We had two families camping together and John was great with the kids, he took everyone for a farm tour to see all his animals!

Lovely spot for camping - John was super friendly and warm and a great host. The location is perfect for a short drive into Beaufort & a peaceful location with sheep, goats and two lovely pups around!

Waterloo Wonders 2
John’s place at Waterloo is an absolute gem, nestled among rolling hills that offer breathtaking views and a true sense of peace and tranquillity. The flat, fully fenced campground is perfect for letting your dog run free while you unwind.
John has a charming mix of farm animals—sheep, goats, and even a couple of alpacas—which add to the rustic charm of the property. Fresh eggs are available at a great price, making breakfast that much better.
Evenings by the campfire are the perfect way to wind down, surrounded by the serene beauty of the countryside. And then there’s John himself—an excellent host with a cheerful, welcoming nature. He’s full of fascinating stories about the local area and happy to share its rich history.
Thank you, John, for your hospitality and for making our stay so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back!

This was our last night of a round trip around Ballarat. John is very welcoming and made sure he was around to welcome us and show us to our cleared paddock on arrival. He is new to the area and super passionate about moving to the country and hobby farming, so if you have any interest in this lifestyle he will share a yarn with you.
The location is good with a nice breeze from the surrounding hills, and the small farm has all the lovely farm noises we love. Bailey even had a play with PJ which was fun.
We arrived quite late and left early the next morning so didn’t explore much.
The only downer is the main road is quite close and the trucks are a bit noisy, but we would still recommend the stay

I loved my time here. The best Hipcamp experience I've had. John is a great host and took the time and effort to show me around. If you like learning about the local history, you should definitely stay here at least once!
