Nestled right beside the Murrundini River, all 3 campsites are beside the river, and well spaced apart for privacy and peace. Campsite 2 (site two) is shady, surrounded by tall swamp gums, black wood wattles and tree ferns. This spot is at its best from late spring through to autumn . Site One is a large flat area beside the river that is good all year round. It has fencing and gates, perfect to let dogs run free without going too far. Site 3 (Craig's flat), is a large open campsite, able to take more camper-vans/ tents with plenty of space. All sites have fire places. And there are plenty of fish for those that want to try their luck. The original home stead (built in 1876) burnt down in the 2009 black Saturday fires. There still remains many 150+ year old elms and other European trees near the toilet block, which are delightful in autumn. We have some fantastic views from the hill up and down the Murundindi Valley, especially at sunset. We're located only a few short km's from Wilhelmina Falls and Murundindi Scenic Reserve, you get the best part of the river, without the crowds. We are a short drive from Melbourne, and easy access to the townships of Yea and Yarra Glen for supplies if you need them. Amazing, abundant & rare bird life to enjoy and photograph.

Site 1 (River side )
A Hidden Gem on the Murrindindi!
We had the pleasure of meeting our host Michael upon our arrival at Fern Glade. He was extremely welcoming and gave us lots of good tips for the camping experience we were about to embark on. Our camping site (Camp Site 1) was fully fenced with a gate at the rear to our own private river area. We had a fabulous time and so did our dogs ….. this is a great place to relax and we were also lucky enough to meet “Pretty Boy” the beautiful King Parrot as well as the resident Wombat! Thank you very much Michael, we had a wonderful and relaxing time and we will definitely be back to Fern Glade and the Murrindindi! Cheers …… Georgie and Russ

On a sunny blue sky day, bliss on Michael's land. Plenty of space and access to a firepit, picnic table and a river if you choose Site 1. Plenty of bird sounds and full night sky.

Craigs Flat - Site 3
What a little gem! Great find, sites are massive and close to wineries and Yea. Clean flush toilet, fire pit provided and BBQ facilities (didn’t use). Right on the river and away from all noise and neighbouring campers so we felt we had the camp to ourselves. Level site and easy to access. Would definitely recommend!

Site 2 (the fern glade)
A beautiful quiet camp site, perfect for a couple or a family. Whoever was there last wasn't a super clean person as they left a bag of dog/human faeces behind the bbq and obviously didn't pick up after their dog as there were areas the smelled like excrement.
