    Stockyard Paddock is located at our property called "Tarrawonga", situated on the outskirts of Port Albert. Two minutes drive to the town centre and 10 minutes to nearby Yarram. Tarra Bulga National Park and the magnificent Wilson's Promontory are easy day trips for some of the best hiking in the state. We are a 16-acre hobby farm. We run about 30 sheep who are looked after by "James" the pet Alpaca. We also have a newly established seasonal wetland project in the making. Just sit back and enjoy the local Kangaroos and abundant birdlife. Campers have access to a level and grassed, four-acre cleared open dry paddock with a treed outlook. Access is good for caravans and other RVs. You need to be self-contained, with your own camp toilet. There is water and a dump point just two minutes drive up the road. No generators please. Port Albert is steeped in history and a visit to the maritime museum is absolutely worth the time. The Alberton Hotel provides a courtesy bus if you're after a counter meal and drinks. Tarra Bulga National park is close by and provides some magnificent walks. Wilson's Promontory is a great day trip. And of course, there is always the famous Port Albert Fish and Chip shop. Well-behaved dogs welcome on leash.We don't have designated sites, you will be camping in the paddock wherever you choose, with plenty of space to offer privacy. The perimeter is treed, so there are options to find a shady spot. The paddock is cleared and level and access is good. Local attractions include the Port Albert Maritime Museum, Christopher Robinson Walking Trail, Corner Inlet andTarra Bulga National Park. Wilson's Promontory is also a great day trip. All campers must be completely self-contained. There is a dump point and water available 2 mins away in Port Albert.

    Was a great base for checking out the area and for launching our paddle boards for a jaunt to Robertson beach. Hosts were super welcoming and friendly.

    Thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing weekend escape with our two dogs and cat. A quiet location with lots of bird life, farm animals in adjoining paddocks, kangaroos at sunset and a not so sneaky fox stalking some ducks. Sandy's communication leading up to our trip was amazing, and Saul gave us a warm welcome on arrival.

    Great hosts. Great location.

    Saul and Sandy are great, welcoming hosts. Sandy met us at the gate, even though it was close to 9pm! Saul came by and checked on us a couple of times including as we were having to pack up early due to a surprise weather incident. Lovely flat paddock that they don't overbook, close to Port Albert township (great fish and chips) and Yarram.

    Quiet and secure site with delightful hosts. Large, level paddock. Safe from the road with easy 2-minute drive to town. Saw a few 'roos. Saul and Sandy were friendly, helpful and even gave us a tour of their property and their wetlands project. Enjoyed our stay and would be happy to do it again.
