A truly off-grid away-from-it-all alpine forest experience. If you've ever craved an escape to your own private clearing in the woods, this gorgeous mountain paradise is for you! The moment you step out of your vehicle, the first thing that hits you is the blissful silence. The only sound that fills the pure clear air is that of birdsong and wildlife. Our property is up the top of the mountain in the Tallarook State Forest. The property is 115 acres of beautiful high gumtrees with abundant wildlife. There are motorbike tracks to ride on, and bush walking aplenty! There is a clearing of approx 4 acres, which has a small home, a clean outdoor toilet, an orchard, a few sheds, and plenty of space to set up camp on. The home is unoccupied, so you will have the sprawling bush site to yourself. Sit under the majestic canopy of stars in the evening and enjoy the warmth of the rustic bluestone campfire as you relax and unwind. There is nothing better than enjoying the ambience of an open campfire in the middle of nowhere, with nothing but a stunning night sky above your head! There is plenty of tank water which you can responsibly help yourself to. There is access to a toilet (no shower). The campsite has a picnic table for meals. Whilst it takes approx 10 mins of driving on dirt tracks to get to it, once on the property, surrounded by tall eucalypts, the sound of the birds, the absence of any humans, and the refreshing mountain air, totally zens you out, and you feel like you are miles away from the hustle and in your own little world! Please bring your own food, drinks and camping essentials. Check the CFA website for up-to-date fire safety information, and to ensure there are no fire bans prior to lighting fire in campfire or charcoal bbq's. Plenty of firewood available on site. Large picnic tables available for long lazy lunches with friends. Umbrella mounts on each table if you wish to bring your own umbrella for shade. Note - the site is available for single date bookings if you wish to host a picnic, get together or bush bbq with friends and family, with the guarantee of having a beautiful secluded spot that is totally reserved for you only. Trampolines x 3 available for kids and plenty of spots to set up bike ramps or jumps (BYO). A mini bush kitchen is set up with pots and pans for little budding chefs to cook up a mud pie or wombat stew. Hours of entertainment and exploring for kids, and so much opportunity for parents to relax, unwind and soak in this mountain paradise getaway in the middle of the forest. Another 800 mtrs from our front gates are the Warragal Rocks, which is a excellent walk and view from atop the Mountain. We have one flushing toilet on site, plenty of firewood, a large bluestone fire pit area, and some charcoal BBQs that can be used for cooking on. Water is rainwater via tanks. Would be best to bring your own drinking water.A truly off-grid away-from-it-all alpine forest experience.

Lovely private space. Firewood was provided and flushing toilet is a nice touch. Plenty to explore around the property. Would be back again!

Ken’s place was an excellent retreat for a few days. The firepit was awesome and Ken even supplied us with some firewood that we could chop up! The property was easy to find and easy to get to from Melbourne. We will definitely be back!

Happy family of 5 campers

Tent · With kids

Our family of 5 just had the most peaceful and beautiful 2nd nights here. The fireplace was awesome. The space was huge and could definitely cater for large groups. The whole property was so kid friendly and the trampolines were a winner. Really great communication from Ken. Firewood was left for us to use. We were blessed with perfect weather. We will definitely be back 😁

Perfect camping ground

Tent · Group trip

Its a perfect place for private camping and ken was helpful and had a good communication throughout our stay. We would definitely come back. Camping ground was very spacious so we had lot of space for other activities and plenty of firewood and big fire pit was great to sit around at cold nights

Excellent, private property. Amazing location. Close to Seymour which has a free access outdoor pool open during season. Was very windy for us but we just kept our tent away from the trees
