Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Secluded in its location, amongst the bushy hills of Hoddles Creek. Much of the 15 acres is undulating bushland with a track looping the property. The track leads down past a beautiful dam located in the property and weaves its way to border the Kurth Kiln Regional Park. Park near the dam and wake up in the morning to the sounds of the birds and have breakfast by the water. During the day go to the amazing nearby wineries in the nearby yarra valley and enjoy lunch in style. Please note: in case of recent rains 2wd/campervans/RVs may have difficulties accessing the site!!Pitch your tent or park your car in the middle of secluded bushland and enjoy nature at its best. Next to the parking location there is a beautiful 15 min track around the property amongst the trees where you can go for a walk in the morning. The main house is 5 min walk up the hill.

Excellent host, very friendly! A great camp-site with an undercover area to make use of.

Peace and Quiet
Thanks Lucas, for a wonderful, peaceful stay in the forest. The undercover area was perfect for my car camping trip: plenty of space to spread out even when it rained. The walks in the woods were the highlight. So quiet and serene, and smelled amazing too. Huge thank you for your help in navigating the terrain. FYI campers: AWD Subaru Forester did not handle the muddy driveway at all - even with X Mode, though it would likely have been fine if I’d had the correct wheels on. Thankfully, Lucas’ guidance saved the day. Bonus visit from the friendly pupper (Obi?) when I was leaving!

Absolutely loved camping here, was only 45 min away from me but felt like the middle of nowhere with the rainforest views and the sounds of nature. The open field is also amazing to just lay in and watch the stars at night. Dogs loved it too. The slight hill to get in/out was dry and we had no issues or slippery-ness. Some leeches and mosquitos - to be expected - just check your ankles before you go to bed 😝

Overstated for cvans outside of sum
For vans/camper trailers.. do not enter outside summer. We tried our cvan in April (Australia) and slipped on the way down.. my daughters Corolla could not get out.. our 4wd alone skidded to their driveway.. did not attempt with cvan... $440 later we got our cvan out. No one on site during this and no immediate contact info for this site.. pretty frustrating and pathetic. No help from anyone. The walking track and flora was fine! As for the site we couldn't access a flat spot for the cvan. I'll stop.. too many downers for us.

Perfect escape for a quiet forest getaway. The property is quite large, so lots of forest exploring. Lucas was a lovely accomodating host. Definitely recommend!
