    Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
    The Wak is a well-maintained 1 acre vacant paddock where you can park your caravan or pitch a tent and sleep under the stars. It's a simple bush camping base positioned on the river flats in which to explore the beautiful surrounds of Kongwak. It's a chance at escapism hugged by velvet cattle-dotted hills and endless picturesque greenery. Please note: no facilities. One caravan per site (for spacing purposes). Located just 5 mins from the village where the vintage-inspired Kongwak Market is held every Sunday from 10-2pm. There's views of the green hills and beautiful beef and dairy cattle are rotated from paddock to paddock in nearby fields. They're the best kept cows you've ever seen! A curious fox has also been known to sneakily visit campers onsite. He's harmless but likes to steal the odd shoe. It's best to pack away any small items and food stuffs. 10-15 mins from Inverloch. 15 mins from Wonthaggi. 15 mins from Korumburra. 20 mins from Loch. 20 mins from Leongatha.The mowed paddock site is located next to the main house (separated by electric fencing). The nearest toilet is 5 mins down the road at the Kongwak Tennis Club rooms (open to the public). Feel free to use the house tap attached to the front of the home. There's views of the green hills and beautiful beef and dairy cattle are rotated from paddock to paddock in nearby fields. They're the best kept cows you've ever seen! Five mins from here is Kongwak's main street. It's home to the vintage-inspired Sunday Market and other second-hand stores. The old butter factory is due for reopening in 2026. Play tennis on the local tennis courts. Enjoy a picnic or go hiking at Pioneer Reserve. Sample local eateries at Loch, Kilcunda, Wonthaggi, Inverloch and Meeniyan. The Killy Pub's ribs are famous! Archies Creek Hotel is even closer for locally-sourced wine/beer and renowned music entertainment.

    This campsite offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by beautiful rolling hills and provides plenty of space for campers to enjoy nature. It's a great spot for families and pet owners, with enclosed areas ensuring safety for kids and animals. While the setting is serene and the night skies are stunning, some visitors noted the presence of flies, which is typical for the area. Overall, campers appreciated the proximity to nearby towns and attractions, making it a convenient base for exploring the region.

    I enjoyed our stay for three nights. There’s no facilities but that’s what camping is about. The days were hot but the nights were cool. A real taste of Victorian countryside in the summer.

    We enjoyed the farm outlook and the country ambience. The only negative was the flies but this is country Victoria. It was great to meet fellow travelers who were happy to share their experiences. Overall this site met our expectations .
