We have 5 sites to offer at Sundar Goldfields Camping. Our 50 acre property features undulating bushland with views of farmlands, wetlands and distant mountains. The name is Hindi for "beautiful". Our rammed earth home sits in the middle of the property and our camping sites are located between our house and the road into the property. We are situated halfway between Maldon and Castlemaine with easy access to both these two interesting towns that attract many tourists to the region. Campers are required to be self sufficient with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. The individual sites are called Wetlands 1, 2 and 3 (blue signs), Mountain View (green signs), Gully View (purple signs), The Ridge (orange signs) and Billabong 1 and 2 (yellow signs) . It is unlikely you will hear other guests as there is a good distance between sites. The largest site is Mountain View and can accommodate the most number of guests and is well suited to caravans. Wetlands View has 3 different site options that all overlook the large dam and birdlife that frequent the wetlands. You can select the one that feels right for you. On the other side of the dam is the two Billabong sites. Billabong 2 is open and close to the road, it can accommodate a large group plus caravans. Billabong 1 is a small site that is set in the bush and overlooks the paddock and dam. Gully View and The Ridge are near each other and are secluded and surrounded by bushland. These sites do not have water views and the entrance is located 60m from the front gate, on the right side of our road into the property. Kangaroos and cockatoos are regular visitors to our property. Bird life is abundant and we sometimes see Echidnas and Shingleback lizards. It is a peaceful area and close to the steam train track so the train can be heard in the distance on the days that the Victorian Goldfields Railway service runs. There are great walks from the property towards the Maldon-Castlemaine rail trail. We supply firewood, if required, and camp fires are allowed at certain times of the year. Reg has great knowledge about our native animals/birds plus gold prospecting and is available to chat if you what to hear his yarns. Simply let us know and he will visit whilst you are camping. He also offers tuition on gold prospecting.

Gully View

We recently stayed at "Gully View," which, while not the most scenic site on this property, offered a peaceful and authentic bush experience. The natural openness of the site provided a serene atmosphere that allowed us to unwind and connect with nature. The host was also excellent, providing helpful updates on local happenings, which added a nice touch to our stay. We felt at ease leaving our camp unattended to explore the nearby attractions around Maldon and Castlemaine, which are well worth a visit.

We loved the place, quiet and peaceful. We stayed by the billabong, which was great for the dogs, they had an amazing time. We will most definitely come back and will recommend to everyone we know.

Billabong

Lovely peaceful stay

I had a lovely stay at Billabong site 1. Reg was very welcoming and informative. The land is spacious and peaceful, there was basically no noise at all during my stay so it felt like my dog and I were the only ones around. Highly recommended.

Gully View

Excellent

The area is so well kept and relaxing. I never once felt like I was staying on someone’s property but more just a pretty, safe lovely area surrounded by birds, trees and other wildlife. This was my dobermans first camping trip so I was nervous how she would go but the whole environment was perfect for her to run explore and feel totally welcomed by the amazing hosts. Reg and Jannine are at the very least, helpful, welcoming and never made us feel like this was a checkin checkout kind of place and I can honestly say of all the places we’ve been, it’s definitely one of my favourites. Would come back without hesitation. Thankyou for a beautiful weekend away Jo and deirk (and our two fur babies)

Mountain View

Awesome experience!

We love camping at the Mountain View! My fur baby had a great time running around the open land. Jannine and husband are very welcoming, easy to talk to and can be flexible with the time we check in and out. We found another go to place for camping! Definitely coming back!
