Murrnong Farm in Violet Town offers a tranquil camping experience surrounded by nature, with plenty of shade and well-maintained facilities. The host, David, is praised for his friendliness and helpfulness, often providing recommendations for local attractions. Visitors appreciate the opportunity to interact with farm animals, and the farm's location makes it easy to explore the nearby town. However, some guests noted the occasional noise from nearby trains and the dam being unavailable for swimming due to bacterial issues.

Pines Carob Area - No Pets
We had a great stay over the long weekend. It was handy being walking distance to town and we really enjoyed the markets (on every 2nd Saturday). The swimming holes around Violet Town were worth checking out too

Overall it was okay. We expected better facilities for the price charged so this was disappointing. Not so good things were lack of potable water, lack of privacy on composting toilets (sack material curtain flapped open in the wind), and ANTS EVERYWHERE - could not leave any food outside the car without it being covered in ants. We made this mistake when we left our site and came back to ants all through our food. No sink area to wash dishes. Sites were a good size so we were well spaced out, though as it is one large open area it feels quite exposed. Great to be allowed campfires. It was really hot when we went and we didn't really enjoy the swimming options in the area. Host was friendly and welcoming. Aware that some of my complaints are information that would have been on the listing, however for the amount I was paying I didn't look close enough at the fine print and made some unfortunate assumptions

Great spot, David was really friendly and helpfully suggested a few nice off leash areas for the dog. Will definitely book again!

Our stay at Davis’s farm was exactly as described - peaceful, quiet, and perfect for camping. The place is surrounded by beautiful pine and carob trees, with lovely farm animals, and you can simply enjoy walking around. Davis was a great host, communicated clearly, and showed us around. You need to bring all your essentials, but once you do, it’s a wonderful place to relax and connect with nature. We had a great time and would definitely consider coming back!

We really enjoyed our overnight stay at Murrnong Farm. David was great to chat with about the history of the farm and more specifically we learnt something about bees (we keep bees) and I loved that you could purchase organic olive oil and other produce! Was nice to explore Violet Town on foot for walks in the evening and the morning and we'd love to visit again another time. David was gracious and allowed us to bring our dog.
