There are separate campsites available. Rodborough Vale is 600 acres with a combination of creek flats, native bushland and rocky volcanic outcrops. A working sheep property with some cropping, It is home to the well known Rodvale Border Leicester Stud. Farming in harmony with the native fauna and flora, guests may be able to spot many native species including platypus, wedge tail eagles, kookaburra and many more.
Fronting Deep Creek, guests have access to fishing or just sit and listen to the crystal clear water meandering past the campsites. The farm borders Tullaroop Reservoir which is only a ten minute walk from most campsites, there you can find public toilets and picnic areas it is well known for its fly fishing for trout. The boat ramp is around 400m from the front gate and guests are welcome to leave vehicles and trailers on the property for convenience.
Note : The reservoir is currently only open to electric powered boats and canoes.
Dogs are welcome but must be very well behaved around sheep. Flushing toilet available at the shearing shed. Good access for caravans and large RV's.
Local attractions are the historic towns of Maldon, Clunes, Avoca and Dunolly all part of the Central Goldfields.
Rodborough Vale was a superb place to set up for the long weekend with our caravan & Mark is a terrific host.
Flat site, easy to access and safe places to set up camp clear of trees if you wish.
We had such a relaxing time & the dogs absolutely loved it too! With some pretty hot weather, we really enjoyed the swimming hole at Weeping Willow and pleasant shade from the magnificent trees.
Plenty of space to move around and we loved going for a walk to the nearby reservoir and around the property, plus visiting Clunes and Maldon.
Thanks for having us Mark and we’ll definitely be back with the extended family.
This was such a lucky find as it was booked out but a cancellation saw Mark contact me and I believe we had the best spot on the property. Only our second time our camper trailer out and our first time solo and off grid. We had a spot right on the bend of a fresh flowing creek which was beautiful to swim in. Bella our dog had a ball, wondered who were the wooly dogs walking around saying Baaaaa 🤭
Perfect weather, privacy, a toilet by the shearer’s shed (with an option to hire a portaloo which would be great if a few of you)
Mark greeted us and our site had a great set up for a campfire.
Did I mention the stars at night of wow.
Mother Nature tested us on Sunday night with a dust storm, followed by a thunderstorm and rain but all settled and we were back out by the campfire.
Late nights with singing by the campfire
Great food
A drink or two
Late mornings
Bocci in the sheep paddock (you get used of the poop)
20 minute drive to town to grab some ice and charge my lights and speaker ha ha
We can’t wait to bring the family back
It certainly ticked every box.
Thank you for opening your farm Mark
Beautiful camping spot! We loved the Long Hole and will definitely be back. The other sites are a good distance from the others so it’s really private. Our own swimming area was nice and cool on a hot day. We hired a portable toilet and were very happy we did. The sheep and cattle were so nice to have around, the cows were super friendly and we enjoyed watching them come down past our site for a drink in the creek. Loved this spot!
This was our first camping trip and we stayed at site ‘Long Hole’. It was a hot day so we were grateful to have shade from the hot sun. We were next to the water and threw a yabbie net and line in, catching 1 yabbie but unfortunately no fish. We had lots of sheep wandering near us but they just looked at us and kept on walking. There were other campers at the farm, but the sites are well spaced and we had heaps of privacy. The owner Mark drove down to say hello and check if everything was okay which made us feel very welcome. It cooled down at night which was more comfortable in our tent and gazing at the millions of stars was beautiful. We loved our stay and will definitely be back!
