Heathcote offers a serene camping experience with plenty of privacy and natural beauty. Campers consistently commend the friendly and accommodating host, John, who ensures a comfortable stay with clean facilities and firewood services. The campsite is well-shaded and spacious, allowing for a peaceful retreat under a starry sky. Some visitors noted the area's remoteness from a bustling town, but this adds to the tranquility and charm of the natural setting.

Great Camp under the stars.

Tent

Really enjoyed this campsite. It was really hot the days we were there, but there was enough shade and the scenery lends itself to a cosy camp feeling. The first night we were there mostly by ourselves and it was lovely to enjoy the quiet, also I found it charming waking up to the rooster sounds. The host was lovely and even brought us buckets of water for the fire pit. The facilities were great, toilets clean and the grey water tanks were a fantastic help. When others arrived, there was enough space in the camp area that we still had our privacy and the quiet after 10:30 was a nice courtesy. There was a lovely lake about 30 minutes away that was great for escaping the heat and of course the STARS. Absolutely stunning, Heathcote is a treasure. Would love to come back for some cooler weather!

Had a wonderful weekend at Heathcote. John was a welcoming host, and directed us into a space which was plenty large enough for the 4 of us, but also offered plenty of shade and protection from the heat! Toilets were clean, and site was generally very well kept. Great to be able to bring our dogs along as well, and we were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves

We had a lovely stay here! A few trees in the campground help provide shade and privacy, the compost toilet was clean and the hospitality was great! Within 30mins to Lake Eppalock, so close to Heathcote - it's hard to find camps that aren't in a caravan park in this area ! Thank you for a great stay- we'll be back to try those free range eggs!
