We have 5 sites to offer at Sundar Goldfields Camping. Our 50 acre property features undulating bushland with views of farmlands, wetlands and distant mountains. The name is Hindi for "beautiful". Our rammed earth home sits in the middle of the property and our camping sites are located between our house and the road into the property. We are situated halfway between Maldon and Castlemaine with easy access to both these two interesting towns that attract many tourists to the region. Campers are required to be self sufficient with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. The individual sites are called Wetlands 1, 2 and 3 (blue signs), Mountain View (green signs), Gully View (purple signs), The Ridge (orange signs) and Billabong 1 and 2 (yellow signs) . It is unlikely you will hear other guests as there is a good distance between sites. The largest site is Mountain View and can accommodate the most number of guests and is well suited to caravans. Wetlands View has 3 different site options that all overlook the large dam and birdlife that frequent the wetlands. You can select the one that feels right for you. On the other side of the dam is the two Billabong sites. Billabong 2 is open and close to the road, it can accommodate a large group plus caravans. Billabong 1 is a small site that is set in the bush and overlooks the paddock and dam. Gully View and The Ridge are near each other and are secluded and surrounded by bushland. These sites do not have water views and the entrance is located 60m from the front gate, on the right side of our road into the property. Kangaroos and cockatoos are regular visitors to our property. Bird life is abundant and we sometimes see Echidnas and Shingleback lizards. It is a peaceful area and close to the steam train track so the train can be heard in the distance on the days that the Victorian Goldfields Railway service runs. There are great walks from the property towards the Maldon-Castlemaine rail trail. We supply firewood, if required, and camp fires are allowed at certain times of the year. Reg has great knowledge about our native animals/birds plus gold prospecting and is available to chat if you what to hear his yarns. Simply let us know and he will visit whilst you are camping. He also offers tuition on gold prospecting.

Mountain View

Awesome experience!

We love camping at the Mountain View! My fur baby had a great time running around the open land. Jannine and husband are very welcoming, easy to talk to and can be flexible with the time we check in and out. We found another go to place for camping! Definitely coming back!

Wetlands

Our wetlands site was wonderful! A very secluded and peaceful place right on the dam bank. There was plenty of firewood and we even managed to catch some yabbies out of the dam. Reg met us on arrival and gave us an interesting talk on the local wildlife.

Wetlands

Wetlands was a very special spot. We were able to choose from 3 different camp sites and had the beautiful view of the dam. The bush land was gorgeous and the bird life was great. It was a quiet place, but we were also able to walk to Muckleford station to watch the steam train pass through (sat & Sun). Janinne and Reg made us feel really welcome

Wetlands

Wonderful bush block camping.

Very easy to get to, with sites all at the front of the property, boasting easy drive in/through sites with all unique qualities. Sites where flat and cleared making base camp set up easy. Each site was nicely sectioned out from one another, giving just enough space to be private from each other and setting a nice limit of visitors onsite. Jannine was very easy to communicate with and always available to contact and meeting Reg was a pleasure making us feel safe, secure and welcolmed on the wonderful bush property. Boasting a land for wildlife we camped right when the native orchids started blooming, the frogs in full chorus, the yabbies bright blue and the birds in full glory. It was great to be out bush but still only 15-20mins away from larger townships and only just up the road you could visit the historical steam railways (you could hear the steam engine from the property) or Mount Tarrengorrow lookout (highly reccomend).

We had the best camp and the host was friendly, meeting us when we arrived to show us where our camp site was, he even started a fire for us to keep warm. Would recommend this Hipcamp. We will come back to camp here again.
