Castella River Farm is an 8 acre property with many natural features including Mountain Ash trees and bushland near the camp sites. The Yea river runs behind the property and camping areas. Locally we are close to all the Yarra Valley and Kinglake Ranges have to offer from wineries to the National Parks for hiking. We are 10 minutes from Kinglake township and 15 mins to Yarra Glen, which means a quick trip if you need supplies. The highway is close by which makes it handy to get out and about. Wildlife we have seen on the property includes Wallabies, Echidna, and an abundance of bird life. Laugh with the Kookaburras at sunset. Dogs are welcome however due to wildlife and the bush location, we ask that you please keep them on a lead at all times. If you are planning on bringing a dog with you, please let us know in advance. We also have horses (separate from the campsite) that campers can feed a carrot if they wish! Water is available from our stables water tank. It is Tank water so not crystal clear but think of it as euculyptus tea! NB: **We do have neighbours and the highway near by so there will be some noise . Would suit campers who want to kick the footy, wade in the river and maybe go 4wding or out and about fishing. Ok to play your own music near the camp fire as you are far enough away down the back paddock! **Not suited to those wanting to be in the middle of nowhere

Mountain Ash Camp

Stellar Castella

Justin was very friendly and accommodating host. The property has a few horses in the upper paddock, and there is plenty of shade and privacy. Amazing property with loads of space. Directions to the camp were clear and concise. Will definitely be back

River Camp

Loved the private spot by the river. Perfect for a couple or small family. Great size fire pit, with the option of the brazier plus grill plate makes it very convenient. Best of both worlds with shade and sunlight for charging solar. Very prompt communications as well as warm welcome from the hosts. We loved it! Thank you.

Mountain Ash Camp

We had a fantastic time camping there! The location was absolutely perfect, surrounded by stunning natural beauty. The campsite itself was spacious, clean, and well-maintained. I loved having the river right behind the site. The owner was incredibly friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this campsite to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable camping experience.

River Camp

Beautiful site

Thanks Carly, for a wonderful getaway. Your beautiful site was the perfect spot for a recharge/reset. That convenient platform was the perfect spot to park and read by the bubbling river. Great that it was large enough for a small pop-up tent so that I could stay right by the river even when it rained. Note for campers: as mentioned in other posts, there is some traffic noise from the highway. It wasn’t very distracting so, unless you’re going for a ‘middle of nowhere’ experience, it wouldn’t be a problem. It is very quiet at night and the kookaburras start up in the morning before the vehicles :)

Mountain Ash Camp

The site was as described. We were really happy to go with the Riverside site which was secluded and right next to the river. We had a lovely time and enjoyed the location of the campsite as we could easily travel to beautiful areas of interest nearby. Thanks very much.
