Our campsite is located in the magical Otways on top of a ridge with wonderful views. We run a studio/art gallery cafe, called Art Reach Studio Gallery, that is located walking distance from the campsite. This campsite located near many beautiful natural wonders including the Redwoods Forest, and many waterfalls including the Triplet Falls, the Hopetoun Falls, and Beauchamp Falls. This campsite offers drinking water, a toilet and access to wifi. Furry family members on leashes are welcome. At this time fires are not permitted. Our region is known for rich, fertile soil and its beech, blackwood and ash trees. For walking and cycling enthusiasts the Old Beechy Rail Trail is a must, where you can experience picturesque forests, farmland and abundant wildlife. If you're after some adrenaline inducing activities then head over to the The Otway Fly where you can enjoy tree-top walks and the zipline. For those wishing to relax, you don't have to venture far with the cafe,snacks and cakes next door.

Not for me
The site offers no power, water, or toilets and the entire camping area is on a hill side with no level patches for tents. There are plenty of places near by to set up camp for free instead of paying for this place. Could easily pitch a tent many places on the town for the same experience and less money

Lovely people, beautiful little cafe gallery at the property. Ebikes and hikes across the road. Waterfalls and beech trees a short drive. Felt safe.

Description doesn't match
The description didn't match what we found. The toilets are a couple meters away of the property and are the public toilets of town - eventhough they had a bathroom in the Cafe we weren't allowed to use it. The bathroom was disgusting (flooded with human residue, it was supposed to getting fixed when we left) and the space provided to park was flooded and our camper van got stuck in the lawn. The owner didn't mind when we got stuck and the neighbours staying there had to help us (thank god). Nevertheless, Francis was nice enough to help out with a refund for the experience we had, we left after the first night out of 3 that we had planned. Other fellow travellers did enjoy it, but my partner and I didn't. Good option if you are in a budget or if the place is convinient for your travels. Would not recommend if you are looking for a friendly, beautiful and peaceful spot.
