The Whip Stick Forest campsite is located on the outskirts of Bendigo. This is an ideal place to take a break away from it all. Peace and tranquility surrounded by nature. We are just far enough away from the town to offer the outdoors feel and close enough to town to enjoy sightseeing, and many outdoor activities and access to shops, fuel and most of the usual shopping needs. Here you will find a nice open space amongst the gum trees with drinking water, toilet, and outdoor shower. rubbish/recycling bins and access to wifi if needed. Relax under the stars with a warm fire in a secluded spot in the middle of open space and the fresh air. The property is fenced off, so you can feel safe and secure. You can relax and let the kids can run around knowing they are safe inside the camp ground. Only minutes from town where you will find supplies, close to the local swimming pool and 10 minutes from a popular watering hole. Enjoy all that Bendigo and surrounding areas have to offer, check out the historic gold mining attractions and come home to rest in a tranquil setting amongst the trees, the birds and the stars. Bendigo itself features some fantastic heritage architecture and a creative community. Be sure to check out coffee houses down little laneways and the many culinary options of the restaurants in town.

My friend and I loved to stay on Chrissy's property. Chrissy has been very welcoming. Everything is well maintenained. The paddock is very quiet. Chrissy has lots of beautiful dogs who will come and visit you in the morning.

We left a day earlier than paid for! Many reasons, the main one being that it was such a run down site. We are all for rustic, off grid and basic camping but this was just run down and fairly neglected. The owner’s dogs were a nuisance, especially the big one which would not leave us alone and rubbing his backside over the grass right outside our tent. There is a toilet which was well kept and a very basic shower. We were hoping to be camping in Whipstick Forest, alas this campsite is actually on the outskirts of Eaglehawk, not far from a noisy traine line. So as much as we were looking forward to our stay, we were rather disappointed with this not so hip camp.

This is an awesome spot with easy access into Bendigo. We were very comfortable on Site 2, and stayed for the long weekend. All the sites are very spacious, clean and provided all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. Chrissy was a great communicator and made us feel very welcome, along with her Mum (Judy). We received very clear instructions to navigate our way there. The dogs and cat are very friendly, loved their daily visits. We highly recommend Whip Stick Forest, heaps better than a Caravan Park! Thanks Chrissy!

Camping at Site 3 Powered at Whip Stick Forest was an excellent experience, thanks to the well-maintained facilities and the serene natural surroundings. The site was spacious, clean, and provided all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. The real highlight, however, was the exceptional hospitality of the host, Chrissy. She was warm, welcoming, and always ready to assist, ensuring that guests had everything they needed for a relaxing and enjoyable camping trip. Her attention to detail and dedication to maintaining the site made the experience even more pleasant. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in nature!

What and amazing campground. We took a tent and had a lovely little shaded spot to set up in. Chrissy is a great host and the facilities are very nice. Just a short drive to Bendigo city centre we found this a great alternative to a hotel to get out and explore!

Really enjoyed our stay here. Close to shops/ services, easy access, flat sites, and the bonus of a good shower and toilet. Chrissy obviously enjoys being a host and was super helpful with local info and allowing us to meet her pets. Definitely recommend.
