    Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
    Here, you'll find 25 acres with water frontage, overlooking the Belfast Lough. The Block is just 300 metres off the highway and has all-weather road access, so it's ideal for an overnight pit stop or to park up for a few days and enjoy the region. From camp, you'll have views of Port fairy and Tower hill. There is a golf course and airstrip on the opposite side of the Belfast Lough. And it's just two minutes drive from Port Fairy, and 15 minutes from Warrnambool. Electricity is available if needed, and we do have bore water (unsuitable for drinking). The Belfast Lough is fed by the Moyne River, which passes through Port Fairy. It's a great spot for recreational fishing, with black bream, sea mullet, estuary perch, mulloway, whiting, barracouta, snapper and Australian salmon. The estuarine salt marshes provide important feeding areas for many migratory bird species and the endangered Orange-bellied parrot - so it's also a great spot for bird watchers!The area offered for camping enjoys water frontage, overlooking the vast Belfast Lough. There are options for kayaking, windsurfing, fishing and there's a golf course close by.  You'll have plenty of space to spread out, it's a large open grass area that is level. Good access for all types of set ups. There is electricity and bore water available (not suitable for drinking though).  Just two minutes from Port Fairy. Tower Hill, Koroit and Warrnambool are all within a short drive, as is the Port Fairy rail trail.  Please note: We do not offer facilities here, so you'll need to be self-contained, with your own camp toilet, and please take all waste with you when you leave.  Pets welcome.

    Great hassle free camping

    Belfast Louth was a great location. Site was very level and grassed, so great place to set up the van. We explored Tower Hill, Koroit and Port Fairy as all close by. Great views of the lake on the Moyne river, and country side around Port Fairy. We would recommend if looking for a great place to stay while in the Port Fairy area. We would use it as a base for that area in the future. Thanks Neil for allowing us the pleasure to stay there

    A great little spot if you’d like to be within a couple of minutes to Port Fairy! Neil was great to communicate with and very welcoming (even took us on a quick tour of the town)…super helpful! The block is easily accessed and very level! Thanks for having us!

    We loved our two night stay @ Belfast Lough. Neil was very helpful and communicated well with us re: directions and whether we could check in early. We were the only ones at the campsite which made it extra special. The location was great and the paddock was mowed that morning. Only a short drive to Port Fairy and 15 minutes to Warrnambool.

    Lovely spot, kids loved the cows. Even with a bit of rain the ground stayed nice and hard and not muddy. Great getaway spot for a couple of days.
