A truly off-grid away-from-it-all alpine forest experience. If you've ever craved an escape to your own private clearing in the woods, this gorgeous mountain paradise is for you! The moment you step out of your vehicle, the first thing that hits you is the blissful silence. The only sound that fills the pure clear air is that of birdsong and wildlife. Our property is up the top of the mountain in the Tallarook State Forest. The property is 115 acres of beautiful high gumtrees with abundant wildlife. There are motorbike tracks to ride on, and bush walking aplenty! There is a clearing of approx 4 acres, which has a small home, a clean outdoor toilet, an orchard, a few sheds, and plenty of space to set up camp on. The home is unoccupied, so you will have the sprawling bush site to yourself. Sit under the majestic canopy of stars in the evening and enjoy the warmth of the rustic bluestone campfire as you relax and unwind. There is nothing better than enjoying the ambience of an open campfire in the middle of nowhere, with nothing but a stunning night sky above your head! There is plenty of tank water which you can responsibly help yourself to. There is access to a toilet (no shower). The campsite has a picnic table for meals.  Whilst it takes approx 10 mins of driving on dirt tracks to get to it, once on the property, surrounded by tall eucalypts, the sound of the birds, the absence of any humans, and the refreshing mountain air, totally zens you out, and you feel like you are miles away from the hustle and in your own little world! Please bring your own food, drinks and camping essentials. Check the CFA website for up-to-date fire safety information, and to ensure there are no fire bans prior to lighting fire in campfire or charcoal bbq's. Plenty of firewood available on site. Large picnic tables available for long lazy lunches with friends. Umbrella mounts on each table if you wish to bring your own umbrella for shade. Note - the site is available for single date bookings if you wish to host a picnic, get together or bush bbq with friends and family, with the guarantee of having a beautiful secluded spot that is totally reserved for you only. Trampolines x 3 available for kids and plenty of spots to set up bike ramps or jumps (BYO). A mini bush kitchen is set up with pots and pans for little budding chefs to cook up a mud pie or wombat stew. Hours of entertainment and exploring for kids, and so much opportunity for parents to relax, unwind and soak in this mountain paradise getaway in the middle of the forest. Another 800 mtrs from our front gates are the Warragal Rocks, which is a excellent walk and view from atop the Mountain. We have one flushing toilet on site, plenty of firewood, a large bluestone fire pit area, and some charcoal BBQs that can be used for cooking on. Water is rainwater via tanks. Would be best to bring your own drinking water.A truly off-grid away-from-it-all alpine forest experience.

Wonderful bush escape!
This Hip camp was the perfect escape for our long weekend getaway. The property was easy to find with the detailed directions from the host Ken, and Ken was also fantastic with answering all my questions before we booked it. Absolutely stunning place to stay and the kids were entertained from sunrise to sunset with everything to do on the property. They started their own little camp fire (small bluestone fire pit provided) , rode our motorbikes around the property and also made use of the 3 trampolines on the property. The adults also got involved with the activities but also had plenty of opportunity to sit and relax aswell, as the property was safe enough to let the kids go freely. (Kids aged 4-14) We collected fire wood on the property and enjoyed the giant campfire at night (which was also provided). The camp area fitted our 2 large caravans and there would have been room for another 2 large caravans slightly behind us on a seperate grass area. The night sky full stars were something that we don’t often get to experience unless we stay st a place like this. This was definitely a holiday that we will all remember and the kids voted it the best off grid getaway so far. We would definitely go back. Amazing property, fantastic host! Thanks for a great time Ken and family!

Perfect location for groups
My group of friends and I loved staying up here! Even for some friends who have never camped thoroughly enjoyed it. Very spacious and had all the set up ready. Ken was also very responsive and helpful with all my questions. Thank you!

This is a really beautiful spot, within a gorgeous state park and only 1.5 hours from Melbourne. It was incredibly peaceful and we enjoyed our time.
