3 nights at Inverloch - Bunurong Country

Camping at Brooke’s private beach escape was really easy and enjoyable. The land was beautiful and the area of Inverloch and Wonthaggi was stunning. Only a 10 min drive from either town it’s in a perfect location. Everything you need at the campsite was there - table, chair, bins, flat ground, access to water and even a very friendly and adorable golden retriever popped in for a short visit (which worked out well as she kept our Goldie happy!) Will definitely book again and recommend to mates.

4 nights at Coastal Farm Camp

We had a great time at Coastal Farm Camp, easy to find and close to Tourquay but far enough away to be quiet and secluded. We would stay again.

1 night at Coastal Farm Camp

Great location close to Torquay, Chris was great to deal with. Beautiful views & peaceful. Suited our large set up. Our kids loved the bikes, thank you.

Weekend Trip to Inverloch - Bunurong Country

Beautiful campsite and a great location. Feels private and within nature but so close to the local towns and beaches so really the best of both worlds. We’ll definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Mountain Views

Lovely camp to escape the city, but still close enough to see all the sites. Ryan was very helpful and ensured we had what we needed for a great stay. Once we were camped up next to the dam you forget you’re so close to Melbourne.

Super private, surrounded by open spaces and also shaded by large native trees. Recycling and Rubbish bins are on site. Games box was a nice touch. Will return.

Weekend Trip to Coastal Farm Camp

Great camping area, with beautiful views. We were there on the long weekend, which was much busier than most weekends! But there was plenty of space for everyone and everyone seemed to be having a wonderful time :) It's a very short drive to town and the beaches, but we got to come home to a peaceful location. It's a bonus that we get to support local farmers who haven't had rain for 2 years, and are feeding their animals daily.

Nice spot to park off the road for a self contained camper. Thank you for having us.

Weekend Trip to Mountain Views

Great spot with a dam for swimming, we were able to get off road vans on the property. Needed some leveling. Host very friendly and we enjoyed our time here greatly. Lovely views over the mountains. There is a big house under construction, but was not an issue for our stay.

Weekend Trip to Coastal Farm Camp

We had an amazing family getaway here over a long weekend! There was plenty to keep our two kids entertained, with lots of open space for bike riding and cartwheels. The nearby fields with animals were a highlight, especially for our horse-loving child. It was the perfect spot for a fun and relaxing break!

1 night at Coastal Farm Camp

Beautiful little farm area within 10 mins drive from beaches.

Weekend Trip to Inverloch - Bunurong Country

Great Hipcamp over the long weekend. Brooke’s property is beautiful and the set up for camping is amazing. We went with our 20ft caravan, our friend, our daughter and there is a great fire pit there, games and a swing. Also having bins on site is a massive plus! We got a visit from her Golden Retriever Gypsy who is a lovely dog who loves a pat. Going into town and seeing how busy it was there reminded how good Hip Camps are. Will be back!

Weekend Trip to Mountain Views

A relaxing stay. The dam was heaps of fun and very refreshing after a hot day! Also close to Lilydale lake which was a great day trip. Dogs loved it!

Magic Mountain

2 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents40 acres · Humevale, VIC

Nestled amongst the mountains just outside of the township of Whittlesea our 40-acre property sits above the clouds. This experience comes with sweeping views, a hidden waterfall, a clear campground, and plenty of wildlife. The camping area is accessible by 4WD only, otherwise, strap on a backpack and earn it! (800m walk/hike from where a non-4WD can park). The waterfall is reached by a single trail track from the campsite, and you do need to be an experienced hiker to get to the waterfall. Which is part of the appeal! We welcome self-contained campers, who bring their own toilet and take all waste with them. We have a strict Leave No Trace policy. Or choose to stay in our beautiful A-frame cabin, with plush bedding, cozy fire, and outdoor lounge. More than anything else this is a place to relax and be away from normal, live outside yourself, and rediscover what weekends are for. Dogs are welcome, so long as they don't bother the wildlife. Campfires are allowed, BYO firewood or campers can collect fallen timber from the property.

Day visitors are $20 per person, which incudes a donkey patting session. This property has an overall capacity to ensure that our number of visitors remain low.

Due to this overall capacity it is important that you book for the number of people that you intend to have stay, as while we try to accomodate increases to booking numbers, they are not guaranteed unless booked. If we have met overall capacity then we may not be able to approve increases to booking numbers. This is for the comfort and safety of all our visitors.

Yarra Valley Vineyard Views

7 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · Melbourne, VIC

**Summer Season 2024/25** Due to an over demand we require weekend stays during the Summer months November to March to be a minimum two night stay. Guests are required to check in on Fridays, with Friday and Saturday nights as the two night minimum. Weekends during this period need to be booked by contacting hosts who will open the sites on the calendar on request to allow the booking to be done online. Those guests requiring a longer stay that overlap a weekend can also be accommodated. Just give us a call and we will find a spot for you. If you are checking dates and a weekend is open, then luck is with you and I have opened the calendar as I'm working on site. If this is the case, single night stays can be booked. *_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_* Looking for a peaceful and secluded spot to park up whilst exploring the Yarra Valley winery region, the Dandenong Ranges, or some of Melbourne's close regional towns like Healesville, Yarra Glen and Warburton? We have opened up a beautiful flat expanse at the rear of our five acre property and made it available to self contained campers and caravaners. We are travelers ourselves and often find it difficult to find peaceful yet secure spots that allow us to explore capital cities and the lovely areas around them. Most cities tend to have caravan parks in the outer suburbs and these can often resemble concrete jungles and be very busy leaving you feel like you have to pay a top premium to be cramped into a space. But what options do you have if you want to explore a vibrant city like Melbourne. See a show, do some shopping, eat out at some of the World's greatest restaurants. Yes, we all should splurge every now and then even when on the road. Our property lies at the very start of the Yarra Valley. It is surrounded on three sides by the magnificent Helens Hill vineyard. In the Summer months you can watch the fruit come onto the vines and in the Winter the views open up to see the kangaroos bouncing though the rows and often silhouetted against the skyline sunsets. We are less than 5 minutes to Lilydale town center. Supermarkets, restaurants, service centers, parts stores, hardware are all on the doorstep, yet looking out over the vines you wouldn't know. Lilydale is 38 kms from Melbourne CBD and there is a train station with ample day parking making it super easy to explore the heart of Melbourne and return 'home' to your country retreat for the night. Myki cards available on site FOC. There is a dump point only 3kms away at a local caravan park for those that need it and at our property water can be available to fill your tanks if needed for a small donation. There is no water or power connection on the sites but you can release your grey water to nourish the grass. Lilydale has a large laundromat available to you. We have a beautiful covered eating area with BBQ available so if the weather turns inclement you can still eat out yet under cover. All campers must be 100% self contained. These are remote sites with no connections and there are no toilet facilities available. We have restricted our area to a maximum of 6 sites to ensure that everyone has their space. Sites are not marked and locations will be on a first booked basis. Owners will direct you to your areas. The area is beautifully flat and does absorb water well but care must be taken to not tear it up after heavy rains. Please seek assistance from owners rather than tearing up the grass as a tractor is available. We can cater for large sized vans and even large motorhomes. Tents are welcome. The property is pet friendly but not fully fenced so your furry friends would need to be on lead. We have our own dogs on the property. Hipcamp being USA based describes the sites and vehicles in USA terms and lengths. There is no way to alter this but please be aware. We cater for Aussie sized caravans and 4wd vehicles. 14 or 15m long all up, no problem. Just in a 4x4 with roof top tent and awning, we have you covered. Cruising the country in a Commodore with a pop top, all good here. Please be aware that we do share a boundary with a working vineyard and they do occasionally have a tractor or crew out in the vines doing some work. There can be a bit of farm machinery work every now and then but this is beyond our control and generally very minimal as vines dont take much looking after unless its harvest night.
