Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
The Wak is a well-maintained 1 acre vacant paddock where you can park your caravan or pitch a tent and sleep under the stars. It's a simple bush camping base positioned on the river flats in which to explore the beautiful surrounds of Kongwak. It's a chance at escapism hugged by velvet cattle-dotted hills and endless picturesque greenery. Please note: no facilities. Located just 5 mins from the village where the vintage-inspired Kongwak Market is held every Sunday from 10-2pm. There's views of the green hills and beautiful beef and dairy cattle are rotated from paddock to paddock in nearby fields. They're the best kept cows you've ever seen! A curious fox has also been known to sneakily visit campers onsite. He's harmless but likes to steal the odd shoe. It's best to pack away any small items and food stuffs. 10-15 mins from Inverloch. 15 mins from Wonthaggi. 15 mins from Korumburra. 20 mins from Loch. 20 mins from Leongatha.The mowed paddock site is located next to the main house (separated by electric fencing). The nearest toilet is 5 mins down the road at the Kongwak Tennis Club rooms (open to the public). Feel free to use the house tap attached to the front of the home. There's views of the green hills and beautiful beef and dairy cattle are rotated from paddock to paddock in nearby fields. They're the best kept cows you've ever seen! Five mins from here is Kongwak's main street. It's home to the vintage-inspired Sunday Market and other second-hand stores. The old butter factory is due for reopening in 2026. Play tennis on the local tennis courts. Enjoy a picnic or go hiking at Pioneer Reserve. Sample local eateries at Loch, Kilcunda, Wonthaggi, Inverloch and Meeniyan. The Killy Pub's ribs are famous! Archies Creek Hotel is even closer for locally-sourced wine/beer and renowned music entertainment.

Camping under Sky
I really love tent camping in this land. All things was great and we had a great night under the clear sky. After we woke up we surprised from the great view that we had. I'll come back again.

Quiet, peaceful and beautiful
We had a great stay over Easter at the Wak Paddock. Super quiet, lots of space and only around 20min to get to Kilcunda, Wonthaggi and Inverloch. Highly recommend over any commercial campground if you are self-sufficient (esp over a LWE!)

Beautiful and quiet.
Beautiful quiet place. A warm welcome from Megan as soon as we arrived. Mown grads and flat, great for the caravan. Nice and close to Loch and Korumburra. We'll definitely be coming back.
