    Mountain Mineral Spring is a neighboring farm with Fowkes Family Farm ( King Proteas), New Owners Richard and Mai with Host Tamara (Fowkes Farm) are working together to offer this beautiful site for Off grid stays. - This site does not have a toilet yet. No power or water tap. But there is a spring to collect running water. This site has easy access to drive in with plenty of space to turn around. 3 different flat areas to choose from to set up. This property has two sites that can be booked, two different listings - (see Fowkes family flower farm for other listing) Only a 20-minute walk to the town of Kinglake & a 2-minute drive. This site offers plenty of open space to safely have a campfire. Plenty of fallen branches and trees to cut up for firewood. Or purchase wood from the local food works, closing at 7pm OR the servo closing at 9pm. This site is on a 105-acre farm, with a private spring water swimming hole, water can be collected from the running water spring. The farm is home to a mob of kangaroos, please watch from a distance. You will also spot and hear wild deer. The site does have plenty of grassed area, but we will let you know there is a bit of black berry bushes that we will start removing over time. (This area we cannot use chemicals close to the water ways.) Goats are soon on their way to help with the weeds and greeting our guests. This site has a lot of history from bottling water from the old factory, (no longer in use), Potatoe and berry farming and raising sheep. You will feel so relaxed in a private and tranquil site. We manage 2 sites on this farm & 2 sites on the neighboring farm Taxi service - The Graceful-Goat to get you around to the local eats and wineries. The Kinglake market is on the 4th Sunday of each month 10-2pm except December which is the Sunday before Christmas - twilight 2-7pm No market in January. The St. Andrews market is every Saturday, 9am to 1pm just 12 minutes down the mountain. Whittlesea market is on every Monday 9am - 1pm *You will have access to Fowkes Family Farm to purchase and pick flowers and come along to feed the sheep.The site for Mountain Mineral Spring is on our neighboring farm, New Owners Richard and Mai with Host Tamara (Fowkes Farm) are working together to offer this beautiful site for Off grid stays. - This site does not have a toilet yet.

    Lovely place looking forward to coming back. Helpful hosts (we arrived in the dark and got lost) Quiet and relaxing, super close to amenities. Got to feed the sheep at the farm next door.

    A weekend break in nature
    16 ft Class B
    Gorgeous spot to park up for the weekend! On the grass - spot 2 is definitely the more picturesque spot near the spring, you’re surrounded by trees, with a huge amount of space (although not a lot of it level, come prepared). The dam/spring in autumn is brown rather than blue but still lovely for a dip. The fire pit and wood left from other campers was much appreciated. Recommend taking a stroll behind the old bottling building to watch sunset and the Roos over the paddock. Town is a 15 min walk from the site if you need anything. We had no issues with neighbour noise, the other site is somewhat out of view. Tamara was a responsive and lovely host, highly recommend a stay here.

    Grass sites 2 was a delight to stay over for the weekend. Tamara was very prompt in her responses and we enjoyed having the solitude. There is a fire pit and plenty of space.

    Great place to camp
    16 ft car
    We loved our stay at mountain spring, the dam is a great swimming spot, the camp location is awesome close to king lake but far enough that you wouldn’t know, there where other campers staying here but we hardly even seen them because the property is large, Tamara was great, clear instructions, recommend this place.

    Amazing long weekend
    Tent · Group trip
    Wow. What and awesome place! Just finished a long weekend with a group of 8 and a baby. Nice swims in the mineral spring. Plenty of kangaroos. Great sunsets. 15-20min walk into town for pub feeds, grocery and the servo. I would definitely recommed this site. We'll be back again. Cheers

    The campsite was great. A bit mowed and a bit wild. We got to jump in the pond, pick blackberries and watch kangaroos. Plenty of space for my family to run around. Will go again
