Wombat Gully Camp is on 11 hectares of private land just 2 hours drive from Melbourne.
Much like a national park only you will relish the experience of being immersed in nature.
Hike in camping at Wombat Gully is ideal for solo campers or couples wanting to carry in a backpack with everything you need.
If you enjoy a little more comfort Milly Wilson Vintage caravan is on offer. Enjoy a fire pit and cooking in the outdoors and then getting cosy in the van at night.
The land is incredibly beautiful and varied. You will enter into a bracken field at the top of the land with views stretching across the entire valley. This is where Milly Wilson the vintage caravan sits.
As you walk down the land along the gully aka 'Wombat Gully' you will see wombat holes everywhere. The gully is surrounded by boulders where echidnas like to hide. The kangaroos linger in the grassy wooded areas. There are animal trails all around the land and they are the paths you should follow.
If you're a hike in camper you'll walk down the gully and cross over the small creek and head to the back of the land. You will arrive at your campsite, a nice flat area, that has beautiful views of the entire valley.
If you are camping you need to arrive well before sunset. Please allow 15-30 mins to walk to campsite 1. That allows enough time and avoids the dangers of walking in the dark (wombat holes).
When darkness falls the beautiful Milky Way will appear clearly in the night sky.
There is a lot of fire risk so please take great care using the fire pit. May-September fires are allowed subject to weather conditions. There is extreme bushfire risk and no fires are allowed October-April. There is a designated fire pit available at the caravan and the campsite.
If camping you will need to bring in everything including food and water. We do have a spring which runs into a small creek. If you want to drink from it you will need to treat the water.
Toilets are simple. We have a Jimmy's Thunderbox. Make sure you are happy to dig a hole, cover things up and leave no trace.
Our land is beautiful and we love it for the granite boulders and the gully with the trickling stream. Views of the valley are spectacular. It's an adventurous getaway for those who love nature and want to feel some freedom, to hike and explore, to relax in nature and soak up the forest feeling, and sleep in the mighty outdoors.

Euroa is 30 mins drive away and has a great pub called the Seven Creeks Hotel. It has a lovely beer garden and the food is delicious.
Avenel is 30 mins drive away and has an excellent wood fired pizza place called Bank Street Pizza.
Gooram Falls is a beautiful natural water hole. Really worth a visit and a swim if it's hot and taking in the vista if it's cold.
