Summerleigh Homestead is a historic property located on Deep Creek Valley, 10 minutes southeast of Romsey and an hour from the CBD of Melbourne. Deep Creek Valley is characterised by majestic views and steep rocky declines, carved over millennia by the permanently flowing Deep Creek, originating in the Great Dividing Range and eventually becoming the mighty Yarra River in Melbourne. Below the Homestead, in the valley, along the banks of Deep Creek, are four designated and generously sized camp sites, offering two types of camping. All only suitable for 4WD or SUV access. - Sambar : one larger caravan or two tents / rooftop vehicles site, located on Deep Creek (half-) island. A premier site. - Red : one larger caravan or two tents / rooftop vehicles, located next to Sambar. - Fallow : a one family tent site, or two small hiking tents. - Hog : one hiking tent camp with limited vehicle access.

This campsite offers a serene and peaceful retreat surrounded by beautiful landscapes and a nearby creek. While the campsites are close together, making it ideal for groups or families camping together, the overall experience is positive with friendly and accommodating hosts. The nearby swimming hole is a refreshing spot to enjoy, though the creek itself is too low for swimming during summer. The campsite is easily accessible from Melbourne, making it a convenient escape from the city.

Sambar camp

We stayed at Sambar camp, a quiet, secluded spot next to the creek. The stay was exactly as expected, owners were friendly and accommodating without being intrusive. Sites were all very well maintained. Quite a steep dirt road to exit the property, so would definitely recommend 4wd if you're towing a camper, or in the wet. Will be staying again!

Red camp

Nice spot. The creek is very low in summer, and you cant swim at the camp site. The swimming hole is only a few mins walk away and is quite pleasant. Campsites are close together so not super private, but would be good for multiple families/groups camping together.

Chital camp

We enjoyed staying in chital camp. Very beautiful skies at night. Lucy and Jack are very accommodating and very easy to communicate with. The swimming hole is very refreshing as well just a small walk from the campsite. We will be back in the future 🏕️

Fallow camp

Lovely property with great hosts. Pretty steep track into the camp area but managed to get our 21 foot caravan in & out without any issues.

Had a good time at Fallow Camp! Such a nice piece of land, and big as well! Very serene and peaceful, you can hear the water flowing in the creek nearby. Perfect for a relaxing stay
