Nomadic camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Welcome to Somerville Park, a 500 acre sheep farm at Fosterville. There are a variety of beautiful campsites suitable for self-contained guests who have their own toilet/shower facilities and drinking water. Fires are permitted out of fire restriction times and feel free to bring your furry friends, making sure they're leashed at all times. The farm is completely surrounded by the Wellsford state forest which offers bush walking and many tracks for bike riding. Mt Sugarloaf which is situated south of the property provides a great hike. Spectacular sunrises and sunsets create beautiful reflections on the water in the numerous dams on the property. Rainfall can restrict access to sites on the property. The city of Bendigo is 25mins drive. Epsom is a 15min drive where you will find a shopping centre which includes a petrol station, Woollies, Pizza, Chemist Warehouse, Aldi, Brumbys Bakery, Reject Shop, Fish and Chips and BWS. Lake Eppalock is a 25min drive where you can engage in water sport activities. The Campaspe River is 10mins away. The farm is very quiet and restful with the sounds of abundant native bird life and provides great subjects and scenery for the photographic enthusiast.

Top Dam
We were fortunate to stay at the Top Dam campsite within Somerville Park. This site allows a fantastic view across the property. The property is a beautiful mix of cleared land and treed areas, with camp sites being well spaced apart so you have your own 'space' and dont feel cramped. Sheryl was a delight. We arrived late Friday evening in the dark, and Sheryl met us at the gate and guided us to our site. Highly recommend Somerville Park. Whilst we went in winter, we had great weather and spectacular sunrises.

Peaceful and relaxing
Hosts are Lovely and communication is great. Lovely scenery and great firepit space. Lovely watching the kangaroos and plenty of birds. Great to walk around the property. Nice a peaceful. Plenty of space between campsites too. Great location to Bendigo. Not the best for solar in winter because the sun stays low. But summer would be good.

Perfect winter camping
So private and peaceful, the perfect spot for winter camping. The hosts were so kind and accomodating on arrival. A new favourite for sure and will definitely be back.
