Camping on Richie and Sharon's property seems to offer a perfect getaway for those yearning for serene, open spaces with stunning views. The vast paddocks promise privacy and peacefulness, making them a great setting for those traveling with kids or pets. Reviewers consistently praise the hosts for their warm hospitality and special touches, like tractor rides for the kids and tips on local attractions. While the setting is beautiful and remote, it's worth noting the site requires self-sufficiency, as you'll need to bring your own water and amenities.

Sharon & Ritchie went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time! We booked for 1 night in March to celebrate my partners 25th birthday, and Ritchie kindly welcomed all 35 of us to camp up at his top paddock.
Firstly, the views of the ocean are breathtaking! On a clearer night, the sunset would have been just gorgeous. There’s so much space and the paddock was so clean and tidy.
Ritchie even gave us his Weber BBQ to cook on for the night, and brought up his rubbish and recycle bins so we didn’t have to lug all our rubbish home to Melbourne with us. Which was greatly appreciated.
Would highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a private, secluded camp away from the busy caravan parks 🙌🏼

The space and privacy having a paddock to ourselves is awesome. We had views of the ocean on the Middle Paddock. The dogs had a great time. The geese, birdlife, and stars at night all added to our stay. I'd stay again. Ventnor Beach was perfect to take the dogs too as well.

Huge paddock all to ourselves with a lovely view of the coast between the trees. A peaceful spot far from the road noise and the night sky was incredible. It was super convenient for the Penguin Parade and close to Cowes. Richie gave us a warm welcome and some great recommendations for our trip. Being able to fill our water tank was a real bonus. Thanks Richie!

The Holding Paddock
We loved our stay at Sharon and Ritchie’s paddock, if you are self-contained it is a perfect place to stay when visiting Philip Island. We had peace and tranquility in our own paddock. Ritchie is so welcoming and giving of his time, taking our boys upon arrival in his trailer and arranged a tractor ride for them during our stay… despite working out in the farm all day, he still made time for us. Thank you so much, we look forward to visiting again!

The Winery Paddock
Had a lovely couple of nights in the Winery paddock. Very convenient for access to the winery, private and with a great view. Hosts made us feel very welcome. Thanks
