Perfect getaway
Perfect little spot amongst the trees surrounded by nature.

Absolutely loved camping here, was only 45 min away from me but felt like the middle of nowhere with the rainforest views and the sounds of nature. The open field is also amazing to just lay in and watch the stars at night. Dogs loved it too. The slight hill to get in/out was dry and we had no issues or slippery-ness. Some leeches and mosquitos - to be expected - just check your ankles before you go to bed 😝

Overstated for cvans outside of sum
For vans/camper trailers.. do not enter outside summer. We tried our cvan in April (Australia) and slipped on the way down.. my daughters Corolla could not get out.. our 4wd alone skidded to their driveway.. did not attempt with cvan... $440 later we got our cvan out. No one on site during this and no immediate contact info for this site.. pretty frustrating and pathetic. No help from anyone.
The walking track and flora was fine!
As for the site we couldn't access a flat spot for the cvan. I'll stop.. too many downers for us.

Perfect escape for a quiet forest getaway. The property is quite large, so lots of forest exploring.
Lucas was a lovely accomodating host. Definitely recommend!

Nightmare trip away
This site is NOT accessible by car. After a light drizzle we were unable to get even a Landcruiser FWD back up the track without multiple attempts. The track has no gravel- just mud. We had to hire a bobcat to tow the caravan back up to the main path, as a tow truck wasn't able to access the site and RACV etc. wouldn't cover it. This took hours of calling around waiting for assistance and cost a lot too. We were unable to contact the host at all. There wasn't a flat enough site for the caravan either so it sat at an almost unusable angle. I can only really recommend this site to people willing to park outside someone's house and lug a tent down a slippery slope to a paddock/ dam site. The town itself is beautiful but this site is not worth the risk. I would hate to see what happens in proper wet weather. There were planks of wood on the sides of the track that have clearly been used by previous guests trying to get cars their back up the track. This needs to be taken off the site and fixed up.

We had a great time here. The structure is great and provided plenty of cover for tents and kitchen area. It's close to Melbourne with lots of great things to explore nearby.
A 2wd did struggle to get back up the track - there was no rain but ground was damp. They key was to get a good run up. It's also a shady campsite, but with lovely tree surrounds.
