Open Field Co-Living - Castlemaine

9 sites · RVs, Tents10 acres · Muckleford, VIC
We are a small permaculture homestead and co-living community with a focus on regenerative agriculture, natural building & communal living. We are in the early stage of our journey, as we build our house and set up the homestead infrastructure. Long-term, our plan is to be semi-self-sufficient, and to grow almost all of the food we need to feed ourselves, and the friends/housemates who will live here with us. Currently it's just two adults and one child living here, but soon it will be a thriving and bustling co-living community and homestead. From June 2024 onwards there may be up to 13 housemates living here with us including kids, in our purpose-built hempcrete passive house. We are on 10 acres of mostly open paddock, surrounded by a small seasonal creek on one side, a large 200m swimmable dam on the other, and 50 acres of nature reserve to explore next door. The expansive Muckleford State Forest is just beyond, great for mountain biking, bush-walking and discovering old historical relics from the gold mining days. We are just 5km from Castlemaine town centre, which is an easy cycle or a 5 min drive. Staying with us, you'll enjoy a unique mix of community life and nature time. All guests are expected to join us in the main house for our communal dinner each evening at 6pm. Your camping fee includes the cost of dinner. For the remainder of your stay, you are welcome to cook and enjoy your own meals solo, as you like. You might like to spend your free time adventuring, exploring the property, swimming in the dam, or if it tickles your fancy, joining in on community activities like board-games or music jams at the main house.

Sundar Camping

4 sites · RVs, Tents50 acres · Walmer, VIC
We have 4 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 Hindu 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 Billabong View (green signs), Wetlands View (blue signs), Mountain View (red signs) and we have recently added Gully View. 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. Billabong view is probably not suitable during Winter (or heavy rain periods) as it is located in a dip and therefore damp if we have a lot of rain. Billabong View is closest to the road, therefore, the least private. Wetlands View has 3 different sites that all overlook the large dam and birdlife that requent the wetlands. Gully View is secluded and surrounded by bushland. It does not have water views and it's 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.
