Private sites
99% of recent Hipcampers say the sites felt private.
Nestled right beside the Murrundini River, all 3 campsites are beside the river, and well spaced apart for privacy and peace. Campsite 2 (site two) is shady, surrounded by tall swamp gums, black wood wattles and tree ferns. This spot is at its best from late spring through to autumn . Site One is a large flat area beside the river that is good all year round. It has fencing and gates, perfect to let dogs run free without going too far. Site 3 (Craig's flat), is a large open campsite, able to take more camper-vans/ tents with plenty of space. All sites have fire places. And there are plenty of fish for those that want to try their luck. The original home stead (built in 1876) burnt down in the 2009 black Saturday fires. There still remains many 150+ year old elms and other European trees near the toilet block, which are delightful in autumn. We have some fantastic views from the hill up and down the Murundindi Valley, especially at sunset. We're located only a few short km's from Wilhelmina Falls and Murundindi Scenic Reserve, you get the best part of the river, without the crowds. We are a short drive from Melbourne, and easy access to the townships of Yea and Yarra Glen for supplies if you need them. Amazing, abundant & rare bird life to enjoy and photograph.

Happy camper!
I loved the location by the river, Michael helped me settle in the first night, showed me where things were and pointed out a few great spots to visit. My dog Poppy and I enjoyed ourselves!

Craigs Flat - Site 3
We really enjoyed our stay at Craig's Flat. We had three camper trailers setup and still had plenty of room. There is easy access to the river and plenty of shade. The toilet is just a short walk from this site and user of the other sites don't come anywhere near you when they pass. Overall this is a great spot for families with lots of space for the kids to run around.

Site 2 (the fern glade)
Site 2 was a bit muddy and obviously churned up by tyres. But it was actually a really nice peaceful spot surrounded by trees and close to the river. We saw a wallaby, a wombat, and lots of interesting birds. There were a few decomposing cars in parts of the site, but they weren’t really a distraction. Oh, and my daughter made friends with a highland cow!

Michael was a very hospitable host! I really enjoyed the location - only 6 mins awar from Murrunindi Scenic Reserve, so we were able to go hiking. Campsite was far from the other 2, very secluded and right next to the river. Would reccomend to book early!
